In 1983, Reebok introduced the Classic Leather as a running shoe. Unlike its contemporaries, it stood out with its clean and minimalist design. The use of premium garment leather set it apart from other performance-oriented sneakers of that era.
As the fitness craze swept through the 1980s, the Classic Leather gained popularity among both serious athletes and casual fitness enthusiasts. Its comfort, durability, and versatile aesthetic contributed to its widespread appeal.
Throughout its history, we have released numerous iterations and collaborations that have kept the Classic Leather relevant. From updated colorways to high-profile partnerships, the brand has successfully blended the shoe's heritage with contemporary influences.
While the Classic Leather was originally intended for running, its design and technology may not align with modern performance running shoes. However, for everyday wear and casual activities, the Classic Leather remains a comfortable choice. Its EVA midsole provides cushioning, and the padded foam sockliner enhances overall comfort.
