STEP INTO THE '90S WITH FOOTPATROL X REEBOK CLUB C COLLABORATION

Footpatrol and Reebok bring the ‘90s grunge era back to life with a unique Club C design, launching August 2nd. Inspired by worn denim and plaid, this exclusive sneaker celebrates the DIY culture and alternative music scene of the time.

Footpatrol and Reebok are turning back the clock to the early ‘90s with their latest collaboration, a fresh take on the iconic Club C sneaker. Slated for release today August 2nd, the Footpatrol x Reebok Club C promises to transport to the grunge era, complete with all its raw, unkempt charm.


Drawing heavily from the ‘90s grunge scene, this edition of the Club C is a nostalgic nod to the well-worn denim and plaid shirts that defined the era. The design features hairy suede, mimicking the natural ageing process of footwear, as if it's been sitting as a cherished deadstock. The washed blue hue pays homage to the omnipresent denim, while the shoe’s overall aesthetic captures the effortless style that dominated the alternative music scene.


Adding a personal touch, the woven label on the shoe showcases hand-drawn artwork, embracing the sub-cultural demand for what Footpatrol dubs ‘This Generation’s Shoe.’ This detail aligns with the zine culture that was a cornerstone of the DIY ethos prevalent in the ‘90s. Plaid accents on the heel tab, inner lining, and footbed further evoke the flannel shirts that were a grunge staple.


The shoe’s gum sole and chunky laces are a deliberate nod to the skateboarding culture that paralleled the alternative music movement. This collaboration doesn’t just replicate a look; it captures the spirit of a bygone era, making it a must-have for anyone passionate about music, fashion, and youth culture.


This new release is not just about fashion; it’s about reliving a culture that defined a generation.
