Fresh off a recent collection with Reebok, Maison Margiela is looking to link up once again with the UK-based footwear brand. This upcoming collection is entitled “Memory Of,” taking two classic Reebok sneakers, the Club C and Classic Leather, and deconstructing them to their most basic form.
First up is the Reebok Club C, which sees a myriad of details flipped inside out alongside over stitching throughout. Coming in both white and black, the front half of the upper stays true to form with its leather mudguard and perforated toebox. Working up to the eyelets, the usual felt that lines the interior is flipped onto the exterior while still housing a set of flat laces that work up to the incomplete Reebok and Maison Margiela branded tag. The previously mentioned felt on the eyelets reaches down onto the midfoot label, replacing the windowed Reebok logo. Alongside this is a large number of perforation details that run around the profile of the silhouette. Around the collar, a cut-up leather panel appears to be incomplete, aiding the deconstructed look. Rounding out the look is an EVA cushioned midsole and rubber outsole.
For the Reebok Classic Leather, a similar design language is used on the black and white offerings. The same felt takes over the eyelets and portions of the midfoot while perforations and stitching throughout mimic a prototype design. An incomplete co-branded Reebok and Maison Margiela tag sits atop the tongue. Around the heel, an exposed heel counter and rough-cut leather panel on the ankle finishes the upper. Rounding out the look is an EVA cushioned cup midsole paired to a rubber outsole.
The Maison Margiela x Reebok Memory Of Collection is set to release on March 25th, 2022 exclusively through Reebok.com and Maison Margiela both online and in-store. Coming in men's sizing, both styles will retail for $400.
