For four decades, Reebok’s Club C 85 has been more than just a trainer—it’s been a staple in football culture, street fashion, and 90s British subcultures. From terraces to high streets, the timeless silhouette has transcended its tennis roots to become an icon of casual style, favoured by football lads, Britpop legends, and sneakerheads alike. Now, in celebration of its 40th anniversary, Reebok is bringing back the classic in a limited-edition release that honours its legacy while embracing contemporary craftsmanship.

Originally launched in 1985, the Club C 85 quickly evolved from a performance tennis shoe into a cultural touchstone. Its clean design, premium leather construction, and effortless versatility made it a go-to for football fans who embraced the terrace casuals movement. The shoe’s simple aesthetic paired seamlessly with the tracksuits, polos, and Stone Island jackets synonymous with matchday fashion.
The 40th Anniversary Club C 85 stays true to its heritage with a premium full-grain leather upper, crisp white base, and the signature blue Reebok logo. A gum sole adds a vintage touch, while subtle anniversary branding on the sock liner and arch bandage marks the milestone. Special packaging, including a polishing cloth, extra laces, and a terry towel travel bag, completes the collector’s appeal.
Set to drop exclusively on Reebok.com this February, 2025, this anniversary edition reminds us why the Club C 85 remains one of the most beloved sneakers in fashion history. As Reebok continues to roll out new renditions throughout the year, one thing is certain—some classics never fade, they only get better with time.
