Global fitness brand Reebok released its new ‘CLUB C FVS’ model sneakers on Monday (February 15). The suede-woven shoes make up part of the brand’s CLUB C series which first released back in 1985.
Reebok released a video entitled ‘CLUB C WILD REMIX’ on YouTube on Monday in promotion of the new models. The video is themed on aspects of contemporary street culture such as fashion, music, dance, and skateboarding. It features appearances of eight up-and-coming creators to the tune of the popular Japanese song Get Wild, a track that was a hit in Japan back in 1980, the same era as when CLUB C first dropped.
CLUB C WILD REMIX
The ‘CLUB C WILD REMIX’ is a new arrangement of the popular song Get Wild, remixed for eight individual videos by each of the aforementioned creators, all of which are strung together in the video. The video also incorporates 80’s retro-style animation, CG, live-action, video game aesthetic, TikTok dances, and more. All of this comes together to form a nostalgic amalgamation of that 80’s retro vibe and modern street culture.

“CLUB C is a Reebok classic. They are the best kicks, even I spent my youth together with them. They have a history and culture, something which I incorporated into my remix of this famous song together with eight talented individuals. It’ a remix that prays for the continuation of CLUB C and respects its history as a diverse and unwavering line that expresses new ideas.”
CLUB C FVS
Originally released in 1985, the Reebok ‘Club Champion’ model was created to suit the needs of tennis players, focusing on durability and high performance. The late 70’s saw the rise of a tennis boom. These shoes evolve the refreshing silhouette and unique look of tennis shoes from performance models to shoes that can be worn in day-to-day life. In the 80’s, Reebok’s Club Champion created the basic white sneaker trend, something which continues today.

Reebok has appointed a number of popular artists in Japan and abroad to take part in their new campaign titled ‘Life is Not a Spectator Sport -Move, Move!-’ This collaboration started in March 2022. As a part of this collaboration, Reebok is teaming up with the manga series Eren the Southpaw. Kappa’s popular ensemble drama highlights a number of creators, and has a very poignant tagline: “To all those who couldn’t become geniuses.” Reebok’s brand message matches this and is meant to be a manifesto for life, telling people to never give up, act on their own convictions, and find their own path.

The Y’s SEEULATER X GSG9–the newest collaboration sneaker between Y’s and Adidas–will go on sale on June 3, with preorders starting on May 28. Designed with military elements in mind, the Y’s SEEULATER X GSG9 was based on the more rugged SEEULATER model.

The SEEULATER, a hiking shoe from the ADVENTURE series, was originally launched in 1995. Not originally released in Japan, many now regard it as a legendary masterpiece in footwear.

Originally made for the German tactical police, the GSG9 features shock-absorbing soles that help to maintain a stable, strong grip on any terrain. The sneaker’s body features a combination of smooth cowhide leather and breathable mesh. This perfect blend of function and design showcase the best parts of both Y’s and Adidas.
