Since its debut in 1983, the Reebok Classic Leather has cemented its status as a timeless sneaker cherished by enthusiasts and casual wearers. Known for its versatility and comfort, the Classic Leather continues to see innovative reinterpretations that pay homage to various cultural influences. For its latest remix of the iconic silhouette, Reebok takes inspiration from the traditional Japanese stitching technique, sashiko, offering a unique blend of craftsmanship and style.
The Reebok Classic Leather Sashiko stands out with its meticulous attention to detail and the use of denim, a material that beautifully complements the sashiko-inspired stitching. The sneaker features dual-tone denim upper, darker shades adorning the mudguard, vamp, midfoot, and heel, while lighter denim serves as the backdrop. This design highlights the sashiko stitching that weaves through the fabric, adding texture and depth to the classic silhouette.
The tongue tag on the Classic Leather Sashiko is a testament to the sneaker's inspiration. It showcases sashiko patterns and briefly explains the technique inside, making it wearable art and a mini history lesson. The design is completed with a vintage midsole that echoes the stitching's color and a contrasting black rubber outsole for durability and traction.
The Reebok Classic Leather Sashiko will release in 2024 through Reebok and select retailers online and in-store. The pair is currently available through size? online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price has not yet been announced, but size? has the pair listed for £100.
