Nigerian fashion and lifestyle company, bCODE, has announced a partnership agreement with Reebok, a global sportswear brand to promote Nigeria’s athleisure culture.

Under the Reebok franchise, bCODE will leverage on its newly launched website and first multi-brand store in Surulere, Lagos to stock its footwear and apparel.
