Reebok takes a trip to Hogwards, in the special edition Harry Potter x Reebok collection.
When it comes to creativity fueled collaborations, the sneaker realm doesn’t tend to disappoint. From adidas’ The Simpsons capsule to Nike’s endeavours with Cactus Plant Flea Market, there is no limit to the imagination of non-conventional footwear. With a rich history of dishing out collabs with the likes of Looney Tunes and Power Rangers, Reebok takes the magic to the next level, with a collection dedicated to none other than Harry Potter. The offering floods the Club C 85, Classic Leather, Instapump Fury and Classic Leather ‘Hexalite’, exploring the realm of witchcraft and wizardry.
Starting off with the Club C 85, the classic model allows wearers to step straight into the world of Hogwarts. Remember that ‘Which Hogwarts House Am I In?’ quiz that you took in 2010? Now’s the time to put it to use. Equipped with a selection of laces and badges for Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, the power is in your hands to decide which you identify with.
Opting for a darker persona, the Classic Leather silhouette pays tribute to the final chapter of the Potter legacy – also known as the Deathly Hallows. Expressing an upper of black and brown hues, the iconic story is honoured within golden iconography.
Contrasting the Classic Leather’s exterior with a pastel palette, the Hexalite counterpart pays homage to the ethereal Patronus spell. Communicated through a plethora of silvery blue tones throughout the exterior, the insole differentiates itself with a darker hue. And of course, we have to talk about the standout feature, glow-in-the-dark and reflective detailing to light up any room you walk in.
Wrapping up the sneaker capsule, we have the Potter-fied Instapump Fury 95 – and it’s all about Lord Voldemort. Sure, he might be the most evil antagonist in the entirety of the Wizarding World, but does he make for a great themed sneaker? Absolutely. Adorned with a black suede upper and Slytherin-coded detailing, this might just be our favourite from the collection.
Accompanying the sneakers, Reebok are offering a range of unisex and female clothing resembling the kind of apparel you’d see from an American University. Consisting of an on-theme bomber jacket, crewneck, shorts and joggers – all you need to do is add some kicks for a magical ‘fit, good enough for Potter himself.
The Harry Potter x Reebok collection will be arriving on FRIDAY 1ST DECEMBER ‘23, via REEBOK & SELECTED RETAILERS. While you await the drop, shop the latest from Reebok below…
