Patta and Reebok Reunite for an All-Black 'Club C' Silhouette
Kanesa David — January 3, 2023 — Fashion
After previously working on an all-white iteration of the same shoe, Patta and Reebok are relaunching the ‘Club C’ silhouette in a new all-black iteration. The sneaker arrives with a full-grain leather upper, foam tongue, a black midsole, and a Pan-African flag that replaces the Union Jack symbol famous for gracing Reebok’s designs. The ‘Club C’ features a perforated toe cap for improved ventilation, while red, black, and green accents can be seen on the shoe's tongue decorating the standard Reebok logo.
Proceeds from the sneaker’s sales will go to The Black Archives, Sistah Space, and The Good Neighbourhood Collective, three UK-based organizations aiding the African Diaspora.
The Patta x Reebok ‘Club C’ collaboration is available now on the Patta website.
