Following up from their exclusive friends and family shoe collaboration, Reebok and Eames Office have reunited to create an entire sneaker collection that pays homage to the work and legacy of Charles and Ray Eames.
In the works since 2019, the Reebok x Eames Club C collection is the first-ever footwear partnership with and authorized by the Eames Office. The line sees one of Reebok’s most popular silhouettes, the Club C, embellished in designs informed by the Eames’ work and paintings. And, unlike the friends and family shoe, these will be available to purchase.
The first release of the collection will be the “Monotone Pack”, which comes in black and white colorways. The shoes feature heritage accents such as original size tongue tags, squared-off window boxes, classic logos, and a restored internal arch bandage for enhanced fit and comfort. Grey soles, woven EAMES tags, and a colorful triangle print in the insole provide subtle accents to the sneakers.
A second release, dubbed the “Ray Eames Signature Pack”, has also been announced. This pack celebrates Ray Eames’ talents as a visual artist with a reproduction of her Composition painting of 1939 and the Eames Dot Pattern textile print of 1947.
All of the shoes will be packaged in a box modeled after the Eames House or Case Study House No. 8.
“Eames design represents a belief that the objects in our everyday life should enrich our existence and transcend utilitarian function to connect with people on a personal level,” says Reebok “The Eames adage, “Take your pleasure seriously,” reminds us that form and function are inseparable paths to joyous ways of living, making sneakers an ideal medium to celebrate the life and work of Charles and Ray Eames.”
The “Monotone Pack” is set for an October 15 online release date. The “Ray Eames Signature Pack” will be available later this season, with more information to come.
