Reebok and Netflix’s ‘Money Heist’ have collaborated on a collection of apparel and footwear inspired by the popular series. The range sees Reebok’s most iconic silhouettes, ‘Classic Leather,’ ‘Freestyle High,’ ‘Zig Kinetica II’ and ‘Club C,’ reimagined with ‘Money Heist’ motifs.
The ‘Classic Leather’ is decorated with a 3D-molded side stripe to hint at masks worn by the heist crew. The texture of the stripe is similar to the mustaches seen on the masks. The ‘Freestyle High’ silhouette pays homage to the Ankh necklace Tokyo wears and features a rub-away window block that has gold underneath. The ‘Zig Kentica II’ references the squad’s red suits, and the ‘Club C’ toasts to the Professor.
Each shoebox has unique ‘Money Heist’ packaging, and the shoes are wrapped in red tissue paper. The Reebok x La Casa de Papel collection is now available on the Reebok website.
