Although it’s not the first time that Reebok and MARKET have worked together on a collaboration, it’s undoubtedly some of the boldest and most statement pieces the duo has released. Tapping into earthy tones and aquatic movements, this new collaborative collection embodies the dynamism you would expect from either brand. As to the inspiration of the collection, Mike Cherman, founder of MARKET, explained, “The inspiration for this collection was Land & Sea. Then we asked ourselves, ‘What if a strap sandal and a sneaker had a baby?’ You get this lightweight, open-air hybrid, made for hot days, wet feet, and spontaneous detours.” Based on this inspiration, the collection comes with two new bold designs and a series of apparel that meets the moment.
Reebok and MARKET bring the land and sea to footwear
According to Cherman, “Both shoes have design elements that reveal themselves over time. These aren’t just kicks – they’re experiences.” The first of the two shoes in the collaboration entails the Reebok x MARKET Club C 85 Water. Featuring a custom mesh upper with an open breathable design, the Club C 85 Water is versatile and comfortable from every angle. Complete with sandal-style straps, tonal laces, terry cloth lining, and custom branding details, this design is an excellent hybrid of what a sneaker and sandal fusion could be.
The second design included in the collaboration is the Reebok x MARKET Club C 85 Camo. This sneaker consists of a tear-away double canvas upper that dons MARKET’s signature camo design. Built with panel-free construction, this sneaker also includes tonal laces, terry cloth lining, and custom brand detailing. Along with the two new sneakers, the collection consists of various apparel pieces that complete the look. The two sneaker designs will land exclusively on September 19 via MARKET’s webstore, before a global release on September 24 via Reebok’s webstore and select retailers.
