In a new collaboration, [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-obey) x BAPE have teamed up to release two new stylized iterations of the [Club C 85](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-kodak) and [Instapump Fury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-5) sneakers. BAPE is a Japanese streetwear brand with an iconic, color-infused graphic style, while Reebok houses sneaker silhouettes that have stood the test of time. The two sneakers in the Reebok x BAPE collection appeal to two different style pallets, with one being minimalist and white and the other being infused with colorful camouflage.

The Club C 85 includes a white colorway with subtle colored stitching in red and blue trimming each section of the sneaker. The Reebok logo is visible on the upper accompanied by a British flag, while the BAPE STA logo appears on the tongue. For the Instapump Fury, the shoe is covered in a variety of 'BAPE CAMO,' which is the brand's signature camouflage pattern, in a variety of colors such as purple, orange, and blue.

The Club C 85 will retail for $150 and the Instapump Fury will retail for $200. Both shoes will be available for purchase on BAPE's website on January 15th or on Reebok's website on January 21st.
