Margiela also joined forces with Reebok in 2021 to makeover the retro Classic Leather, reinterpreting the design with its iconic Tabi split-toe design and hand-painted white coating that chips away over time.
Bronze 56K x Reebok Classic Leather, 2021
Reebok and New York City skate brand Bronze 56K reimaged two silhouettes for spring 2021. Both styles took inspiration from New York City’s vibrant sports culture and skate scene. The Classic Leather’s color palette was taken from the city’s flag with bold pops of blue and orange.
‘Ghostbusters’ x Reebok Ghost Smashers, 2020
The iconic movie franchise “Ghostbusters” dropped two Reebok silhouettes in 2020. The more eye-catching of the two, the Ghost Smashers came with a “proton pack” used for capturing ghosts in the film on the heel.

Another memorable 2020 drop saw Pharrell Williams’ BBC Icecream take on one of the signature sneakers of NBA icon Allen Iverson, the Answer 5. The colorway was reminiscent of the Icecream Board Flip 1 “Pink Lemonade,” a popular shoe BBC Icecream released in the early aughts.

In this summer of 2016, Kendrick Lamar and Reebok released its third collaborative effort, launching a unique “Split Personality” version of their previous Classic Leather model. Created by Garbstore’s Ian Paley, the design is highlighted by a longitudinal seam that runs down the middle, separating the blue and red accents on either shoe.
Cam’ron x Reebok Ventilator Supreme, 2016
Another hip-hop collaboration in 2016 saw Reebok team up with Cam’ron, aka Killa Cam. Running with the Dispet rapper’s love of pink, the shoe was dressed in “Killa Pink” suede with tonal camouflage accents and finished off with Dipset branding debossed on the heel and hot pink translucent outsoles.
Bait x ‘Ted 2’ x Reebok Instapump Fury, 2015
Reebok and streetwear label Bait designed an Instapump Fury in the foul-mouthed movie character’s likeness. The shoe combined fuzzy suede and shearling in light tan on the upper to mimic the look and feel of the teddy bear and embroidered on the heel was a smiling bear Ted, as well as Bait’s logo.
Reebok x Melody Eshani Blacktop Pump, 2015
Another hot drop in 2015 came from designer Melody Ehsani. Designed just for women, she used python leather to create bold versions of the Ventilator and Blacktop Pump. The loud style was pulled together with the renowned designer’s signature evil eye motif along the laces near the toe cap.
Stash x Reebok Question Mid, 2014
