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.
