There’s no doubt that Reebok has fully embraced its Y2K roots, and its recent releases fully encapsulate its retro past. Joining other brands unlocking their archives for new cult-favorites, Reebok is reaching back to its soccer past for its brand new design. Doused in retro details and design, Reebok’s newest Hammer Valde is the perfect blend of soccer-inspired features and lifestyle sneakers that even non-fans will enjoy. As part of a growing wave of brands embracing soccer culture, Reebok joins the likes of Nike, Adidas, and New Balance that have already unveiled their soccer-inspired kicks. While you don’t need to be a professional to don these sneakers, the blend of soccer cleats and everyday sneakers will have everyone believe you are. With a rich soccer history of their own, Reebok is stylishly joining the trend.

Reebok revives the Hammer Valde for a soccer-inspired look

Inspired by soccer cleats from the 2000s, the Hammer Valde has the look and feel of a cleat, just without the spikes. Taking a cue from the brand’s soccer past, the Hammer Valde is not only a nod to its participation in the sport but a tribute to the classic shoes of the era. Featuring soft leather uppers, stitched vamps, and a TPU cage, the Hammer Valde is a soccer cleat rebuilt to be your new favorite sneaker. The shoe is available in two nostalgic colorways, featuring a white base with contrasting black accents. Users will have the option between pops of Optimum Blue or Red, for a vibrant splash of color. Both iterations are priced at $110 a piece and are available via Reebok’s webstore.

Following their first collaboration in 2024, Reebok and White Mountaineering are reuniting for another stellar partnership. Along with the Japanese label, Reebok is taking on their famed Classic Leather for a remix that gives it a retro update with plenty of techy finishes. Far from their minimalist and subdued first partnership, this new collaborative sneaker takes a new spin with stylish details that elevate an iconic silhouette. The latest collaboration in two new neutral shades is another example of how the retro sneaker trend has continued flourishing and doesn’t seem to have an end date. Showcasing their “Unplugged” campaign, the duo’s new release is about being intentional with your time and style choices.

“Our brand is often associated with active scenes, but this time, we wanted to show how our collaboration shoes fit a more relaxed environment,” says White Mountaineering founder Yosuke Aizawa. “The soft mood of the campaign perfectly complements the color palette of the shoes.” Crafted in brown or grey shades, the WM x Reebok Classic Leather shoe uses an upper composed of a premium leather, suede, and nubuck mix. Contrasting trims around the design give the shoe an extra touch of dimension and style, along with the texturized materials that compose the sneaker. Complete with a custom co-branded tongue label, branding wordmark on the heel, and a custom footbed, this design represents the specialness of the collaboration. Further sneaker details include terry lining, tonal laces, and a custom branded shoe box. Set for an April 11 release, the remixed Classic Leather will be available for $190 on the White Mountaineering and Reebok web stores.
