UPDATE: Many thought it was game, set, match for this colab after it dropped at Solebox last week, but it turns out this Club C is still in play. The shoe is seeing a wider release on November 18 from Reebok accounts like .
It's been a long time between sets, but Solebox have finally returned to the court with a new Reebok collaboration. This time the European retailer has given the Pump a rest and served up a unique take on the Classic Club C 85 tennis shoe. Keeping with the shoe's court shoe origins, Solebox's creation features a ribbed upper of overlapping leather that replicates tennis racquet grip. An all-over turquoise hue channels the 80s vibes, while a splash of red on the tongue tag and midsole stitching adds some unexpected contrast. Stone grey engulfs the collar and rear details for a touch of restraint, while Solebox branding in the signature Reebok font at the heel adds a colab touch. The shoes will release alongside a matching Solebox x New Era strap back, exclusive to Solebox.
