Tobe Nwigwe and his wife Martica Ivory “Fat” Nwigwe attended the 38th annual FN Achievement Awards held tonight at the iconic Cipriani South Street venue in New York. During the event, Tobe and his wife will be presenting basketball star Angel Reese with the Style Influencer of the Year award.
The rapper couple opted for a bold look, gracing the red carpet in matching pre-season “salmon” kicks from Reebok. The sneaker is a tease for the brand’s collection launching in Q1, Reebok confirmed. The high-top boot-esque hybrid included salmon-colored mixed leather and suede uppers accompanied by bulbous rounded toes and coordinating pink lace-up closures.
Both pairs were chunky and street style-inspired, incorporating utilitarian touches like pull tabs and sturdy non-slip rubber soles. The brand’s crosshatched logo can be found fixed to the top of each toe box, making the shoe’s origins instantly recognizable.

The couple and their children recently appeared in a campaign for Reebok. The 2024 collaboration between the hallowed brand and the rapper builds upon Reebok’s long history and legacy of working with leading hip-hop artists and creatives. The collaborative partnership features co-designed footwear and apparel offerings across fashion and lifestyle categories.
Keeping up their matching streak, the performing couple sported chocolate brown baggy ensembles. Tobe wore a zip-up jacket and baggy shorts while Martica wore the same jacket, but switched out the shorts for a long maxi skirt on the bottom.
After a successful run playing college basketball at LSU that included a national championship, Reese entered the WNBA in April to tremendous fanfare. And it didn’t take long for her fans to adopt a fitting moniker: “Reese’s Pieces.”
For 38 years, the annual FN Achievement Awards — often called the “Shoe Oscars” — have celebrated the style stars, best brand stories, ardent philanthropists, emerging talents and industry veterans. The 2024 event is supported by sponsors Listrak, Marc Fisher, Nordstrom and Vibram.
