Returning with a unique take on Reebok’s iconic Club C, Footpatrol is here to transport you back to the early ‘90s. Drawing inspiration from the grunge scene, this exclusive edition of the Club C references the well worn denim and plaid shirts synonymous with the era.
Designed with this movement’s identity in mind, hairy suede has been incorporated to symbolise the natural ageing process of footwear as if it has been sat as dead-stock, with the washed blue a subtle nod to the ever present denim on show- all whilst maintaining the unkempt charm of ‘90s grunge. For a personal touch on the Reebok x Footpatrol Club C, artwork has been done by hand on the woven label – reflecting the sub-cultural demand for ‘This Generation’s Shoe’, rather than just another shoe for athletes.
Continuing on the DIY theme, the reimagined hand-drawn logo falls in line with the popular printed zine culture of the day, while, touches of plaid on the heel tab, inner lining and footbed nod to the infamous flannel shirts. The considered choice to combine a gum sole with chunky laces was an ode to the skateboarding scene, alongside the prevalent bands and live music that ignited the ‘90s alternative era.
Available in men’s and women’s sizes.
Launching on the 3rd August 2024 online at 8am BST and in-store at 10am BST.
