Now, the Shaolin Swordsmen are connecting with the Impossible Foods and White Castle for a four-part series. With the straight the point title, “Wu-Tang in Space Eating Impossible Sliders,” the first of the episodes debuts today (Oct. 3) via Impossible Foods’ YouTube channel featuring The RZA as the futuristic computer RZA 9000, GZA, and Ghostface Killah as they travel the cosmos in their Wu-F-O space ship answering questions from fans about, well, almost anything they want. The connection makes sense as RZA has promoted a plant-based lifestyle for years, and for what it’s worth, the Impossible Slider has been getting rave reviews from even the heartiest of meat eaters. “As America’s home of the original slider, we appreciate the ‘out of this world’ perspective the Impossible Foods team has brought to our partnership,” said Kim Bartley, Chief Marketing Officer at White Castle in a press statement. Today’s episode features the trio looking upon Earth from space and fielding questions, even inviting a first-grader to get some of that fly Wu Wisdom aboard the Wu-F-O.

Founded in 2012 by Peter Sidlauskas and Patrick Murray, Bronze 56k is a post-modern success story. As their lo-fi videos brought notoriety and internet fame to the skate crew from Queens, New York, the subversive nature of their telegenic presence added to a genuine sense of corporate intrigue. Today, Bronze 56k is best known for their unique blend of branded hardware and irreverent wardrobe staples. First released in 1985, the Club C started life as a pro-level tennis trainer before eventually reaching ‘living legend’ status within the Reebok stable. Emphasizing the Club C’s sports heritage vibes, the foundation of Bronze 56k’s design is the use of premium white leather. Terry cloth is another period-correct tennis touch, with the navy- toned fabric wrapping the ankles for luxurious comfort and enhanced sweat protection. Oversized tongue patches are a nod to Bronze 56k’s 90s-inspired tech aesthetic, while the Reebok ‘Union Jack’ logo looks right at home splashed across the Club C’s flanks. Custom drawstring bags are an added bonus. The Bronze 56k x Reebok Club C will be available for $120 at www.reebok.com , www.bronze56k.com , and select retailers globally. Check out more pics below:
