The Ultimate Reebok Club C 85 FAQ

The Reebok Club C 85 is currently one of the most popular silhouettes from Reebok. The sneaker made its debut in 1985 and has been a classic on the sneaker market ever since. Today, we clarify all the things you should know about the Kick. Welcome to the ultimate Reebok Club C 85 FAQ!

The History of the Reebok Club C 85

As already revealed at the beginning, Reebok's history starts in 1985 with the founding of the family business 'J.W. Foster and Sons' in Bolton (GB). At the end of the 80s, the brand came up with the Reebok Club C 85 and celebrated a great success.

In 1993, the brand marked another milestone in the history of the silhouette: After the Club C also appeared in women's sizes for the first time in the middle of the year, Reebok introduced the Club C to their Classics category. This paved the way for the sneaker from the court to the streets, catwalks and skate parks.

The Reebok Club C disappeared from the scene in the early 2000s, but celebrated a comeback in 2015. In the meantime, the silhouette has almost achieved cult status and is an integral part of the sneaker community.

What makes the Reebok Club C so special

The kick has proven to be a true classic, more or less, for over 30 years. We are convinced that it is because of the timelessness of this kick. Let's take a look behind the scenes:

Minimalism

The Club C 85 is kept simple and comes without unnecessary frills. The silhouette offers everything you need: Maximum functionality and a perfect fit. Thanks to this 'restraint', it also fits perfectly with every type and style.

Fidelity to the design

The Reebok Club C 85 has hardly changed visually over the years. But timelessness does not exclude innovation! That's why the brand keeps equipping the cult shoe with new features and still remains true to its basic idea.

Simply practical

The Reebok Club C 85 wasn't about the here and now, not about trendiness, but it was thought about in depth. That's why it's still a sneaker of choice when it comes to function and comfort.
