The rich tapestry of hip-hop is interwoven with cultural evolution, political movements, and, of course, streetwear. And right at the center of streetwear culture lies sneaker brands like Reebok, who have seamlessly tied their legacy to the evolution of hip-hop. As the world commemorates the 50th anniversary of a night in the Bronx, where DJ Kool Herc laid down a funk break that would change music forever, Reebok is on the frontline, tipping their hat to the Black and LatinX communities that championed this revolution.
Dedicated to the monumental impact of hip-hop, Reebok is curating a special release encompassing two of their iconic silhouettes: the Club C 85 and Classic Nylon. This homage to hip-hop and its colossal contribution to culture, especially from Black and LatinX communities, manifests in premium builds on each sneaker. For the Club C 85, expect a luxurious blend of leather and suede.
On the other hand, the Classic Nylon resonates with a plush combination of suede and nylon. Regular Reebok branding finds its way to familiar spots. Still, a distinguishing touch lies in the insoles and the tongue tag of the left sneaker, both of which proudly display the "50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop" branding. The Club C 85 explores the realm of neutrals, with one variant featuring a harmonious blend of white, pure grey, and chalk, while its counterpart dives into deeper shades of grey paired with chalk. Not to be left behind, the Classic Nylon wears its neutrals proudly with a Pure Grey colorway and presents a captivating Maroon-based design.
The Reebok 50 Years Of Hip-Hop Collection will be released on November 6, 2023, through Reebok and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $100.
