Following their collaboration on a batch of Club Cs, Reebok and Eames have reunited to create a new collection centered on the Classic Leather and paying homage to various Eames pieces.
The “Rosewood” variation is the first on the list, and it prominently features the Lounge Chair and Ottoman pieces. To effectively mimic the aesthetic of a plywood shell, the entire top half and insoles are plastered with wood grain patterns.
The following makeup is inspired by Charles and Ray Eames’ ‘The Coloring Toy’ kit. The sneakers are styled with white backdrops and sole pieces and feature all-over geometric outlines to resemble a construction kit, and are meant to be customized and colored by the wearers.
The “Elephant” Pack is comprised of the remaining three colorways in the assemblage. This batch pays homage to the Eames Elephant toy for kids, which is represented by a trio of monochromatic iterations in “Ice Grey,” “Poppy Red,” and Dark Lime, with the object’s silhouette in shroud form atop the laces.
The entire collection will be available through Eames, Reebok, and select retailers throughout June, with the ‘The Coloring Toy’ offering releasing on June 2.
Eames and Reebok will also host a special brand experience on Friday, May 20 at Lume Studios in New York City to showcase the capsule.
