Along with the Club C, the Classic Leather is one of Reebok’s most versatile silhouettes. Often a canvas for collaboration, such partners in recent years include Maharishi, 1LDK, and Eames. As for BEAUTY&YOUTH and Reebok, they’re collaborative portfolio have subsumed the aforementioned Club C and the brand quintessence Instapump Fury. In addition to the titular pair, of course: the Classic Leather.

White is a dominant presence on the upper engulfing the shoe from the toe box through to the heel counter, its base layer and overlays. This uniformity is only complemented by the hits of navy on its upper body. As seen on the laces, the “CLASSIC LEATHER” imprint on the tongue tag, as well as the Reebok branding on the lateral window. It makes an even bigger mark on the footbed, the heel counter, before a final flourish on the outsole.

They’re scheduled to be released in early April with a RRP of JPY14,300 (~US$110). For now, they’re only listed at United Arrows’ website but as the release date draws closer, more avenues for purchase should emerge. As soon as more information arrives, expect to find them here!

Till then, consider a look at the Salomon XT-6 “10 Years”.
