[Maison Margiela](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters-collection) and [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanghyuk) work together and continue to impress fans with a new tonal iteration of the iconic Classic Leather Tabi sneakers and the [Club C](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-c-ltd) sneaker. The duo drops a monochromatic red and gray colorway design and the Club C is offered in red.

These new additions still shine a spotlight on the split-toe design for a bold look. Additional details include the contrasting co-branding details at the tongue tag and the insoles. The Club C has been seen in more minimal black and white colorways. The new red option is for those who want to make a loud statement and it has a pre-faded branding detail printed on top with a special trompe l’oeil technique.
