Reebok introduces a new Keith Haring capsule that spotlights five silhouettes including the Classic Leather, the Club C, the Club C Legacy, and the Classic Leather Legacy AZ. Celebrating the artist's work and his connection with the 80s in New York and its rising culture, the brand delivers a set of wearable footwear.
The capsule is inspired by some of the specific works including his famous dancing figures that come from the notable subway chalk drawings. The Classic Leather Keith Haring features the artist's signature dog motif on a black base. The CL Legacy AZ features the dancing figures and Club C nods to the artist's 292 Latafette Street 'Pop Shop.' The Club C Legacy is detailed with the three-eyed smiling face.
