Footpatrol Join Forces With Reebok With New Special Edition Club C Revival
Author: Mark Haddon | Friday 2nd August 2024
Footpatrol brings a fresh twist to Reebok’s iconic Club C with a special edition that takes you back to the early ‘90s. Drawing inspiration from the grunge scene, this exclusive Club C iteration pays homage to the era's well-worn denim and plaid shirts.
Crafted with a focus on grunge's unique identity, the sneaker features hairy suede that symbolizes the natural aging process of footwear, giving it a vintage, dead-stock vibe. The washed blue suede subtly nods to the ubiquitous denim of the time, while maintaining the raw, unkempt charm of 90s grunge.
For a personalized touch, the Reebok x Footpatrol Club C showcases hand-drawn artwork on the woven label, reflecting the sub-cultural demand for "This Generation’s Shoe" rather than just another athletic sneaker. The DIY aesthetic continues with a hand-drawn logo that echoes the popular zine culture of the era.
Touches of plaid on the heel tab, inner lining, and footbed reference the iconic flannel shirts synonymous with grunge. A gum sole combined with chunky laces pays tribute to the skateboarding scene and the alternative bands that fueled the 90s music scene.
Discover the Footpatrol x Reebok Club C and step into a nostalgic journey back to the 90s, blending classic grunge aesthetics with modern sneaker culture. Available now at Footpatrol stores and online.
