Introducing the Club C Maison Margiela, the latest collaboration between Reebok and Maison Margiela
The French high fashion brand puts its spin on everyone's favourite '90s Reebok kicks: the Club C tennis shoe.
In this luxury revamp, Maison Margiela brings their iconic trompe-l’oeil technique to create an incredible 2D optical illusion. They print a scanned design of Reebok's original Club C shoe onto a single piece of flat leather, recreating every minute detail from the individual stitches to the shadows of each curve. To complete its classic silhouette, the shoe features the signature rubber outsole and lace closure.
And stamped on the tongue is Reebok's iconic logo and Maison Margiela's distinctive numerical code.

But this is not the first time that Maison Margiela has collaborated with Reebok. Only a few months ago, the two iconic brands dropped the exclusive Maison Margiela x Reebok Classic Leather Tabi Bianchetto shoes. The partnership brought Maison Margiela's split toe design on their iconic Tabi boot, inspired by Japanese jika-tabi shoes worn by construction workers, to another classic Reebok design.
Sold out in a flash, the coveted classic leather Tabi has been spotted on the most influential streetwear and fashion figures and we predict the new Club C revamp will follow suit.
