Reebok has announced new colorways of its Maison Margiela editions of the Classic Leather Tabi and Club C.
The Classic Leather Tabi will be available in both grey and red and the Club C Maison Margiela will be available in red. Drawing on codes evolved by creative director John Galliano, both silhouettes express the characteristics of the French fashion house through two of the sportswear brand’s most recognizable designs.
The Classic Leather Tabi, which debuted in January 2021, splices two icons into one. The silhouette is a rebuilt version of Reebok’s beloved Classic Leather (launched in 1983) and features the signature Tabi design that Maison Margiela created in 1988. With its recognizable split-toe construction it represents the deconstructive design philosophy key to the house.
The Club C Maison Margiela, initially released in March 2021, also fuses signature features of Maison Margiela and Reebok. Maison Margiela applies a house technique, the trompe l’oeil, to Reebok’s iconic Club C (launched in 1985). The shoe is constructed from a single piece of flat
leather, with the sneaker’s one-cut upper featuring a printed and scanned image of Reebok’s original Club C shoe.
The Maison Margiela x Reebok Classic Leather Tabi and red Club C Maison Margiela will be available from May 21st starting at 10am EST on Reebok.com. The line will also be available in select Margiela stores and on MaisonMargiela.com for $300 USD.
