I næsten fire årtier har Club C stået som et bevis på tidløs stil. Oprindeligt en sko inspireret af tennis, men omfavnet som en livsstilsfavorit, er dens rejse et vidnesbyrd om dens evne til at overskride sit oprindelige formål og skabe en unik historie. Inden for arvestykke-fodtøj tiltrækkes Evan Belforti – Senior Footwear Designer hos Reebok LTD, som skabte Reebok Club C LTD – normalt af historier vævet gennem års udvikling i en produktlinje. Men Club C fascinerer ham af en anden grund: dens urokkelige konsistens. I en verden i konstant forandring har Club C fundet sin plads i mange forskellige sammenhænge og passer ubesværet ind i miljøer lige fra banen, skateparken til hverdagsmoden.

The opportunity to reimagine such an iconic shoe for Reebok is an exhilarating prospect. While Evan's prior work often delves into more progressive silhouettes, he's always harbored an interest in stepping into the realm of "Classic" sneakers. "This design features a completely new upper and midsole, but the goal was to retain the key elements of the Club C. The upper features new patterning that elongates the internal lines of the shoe, an update to the shoe’s overall silhouette, and new elements of layering and adding texture seen in the eyelet and the perforations", tells Evan.

Turning to the midsole, the objective was to preserve the low profile and asymmetry of the original Club C, but with an enhanced embrace of the upper. "The midsole features several splits that divide the taller shape, with a textured front panel, and an extended lip inspired by some of the court shoes of the 80s", explains Evan.
