Eames x Reebok Club C 'Composition' and 'Dot Pattern' Are All About Form and Colour
After kicking off their partnership in summer 2021 with the , Eames and are back with their second offering: the 'Composition Pack'. Bridging the gap between the Eames' legendary designs and the classic sportswear style of Reebok, the 'Composition Pack' includes two special variations of the that shed light on some of Eames' most famous creations.
The Club C 'Composition' is inspired by a painting of the same name, created by Ray Eames in 1939, the year before she met Charles Eames. Composition's natural tones and abstract shapes are screened in full across the upper of the sneaker, and Ray's signature replaces standard Club C branding on the midfoot. On the other end, the Club C 'Dot Pattern' is done up in tan and black, and covered from heel to toe with a signature textile print that Ray Eames created for MoMA's 1947 Competition for Printed Fabrics. Though Ray never submitted the pattern to the competition, it's since appeared on everything from pillows to blankets and has become one of her most recognisable creations! Each pair comes in a shoebox modelled after the Eames House — also known as Case Study House No. 8 —in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles.
Expect both pairs in the Eames x Reebok 'Composition Pack' to release via the Eames Office web store March 17, then hitting the Reebok web store March 18, priced at $120.
