A look at the shoe’s landing page shows a range of Reebok Club C 85 collaborations with brands like National Geographic, Jelly Belly (yes, the candy company), and Japanese menswear retailer BEAMS. Today, the Club C 85 still sells strong as a mainstay of Reebok Classics line.
It’s also a popular shoe on Instagram as well as Reddit, where it’s frequently cited as being one of the most versatile white shoe and a solid alternative to expensive leather sneakers. Its been a go-to model for multiple collaborations-the unassuming jjjjound x Reebok (not a typo) being the most famous-and has been consistently selling out at retailers like Pacsun, J.Crew, and DSW.
Since its market reintroduction, the Club C 85 has remained the company’s bestselling throwback tennis shoe. All four sneakers share PU-coated action leather and a mostly white colorway.

In 2016, Reebok, apparently feeling a wave of nostalgia, rereleased four popular models from its 1980s tennis shoe heydey: the Revenge Plus, which it rebranded to the Club C 85 the Phase 1 Pro (which retained its original name) and the Newport Classic, which was rebranded to the NPC and the NPC UK in Great Britain. Not sure I wanted to commit, I contacted Reebok to ask for a pair of the Club C 85 Vintage, which retails for $80, for me to test out over a weekend. The Reebok Classics mainstay is an unassuming leather sneaker, but its clean toothpaste-white colorway, along with its eggshell Vintage spinoff, makes it an attractive go-to for sneakerheads, trendy hipsters, and streetwear junkies alike.Īfter seeing the Reebok Club C 85 for so long, I finally came down with a case of FOMO, thinking wait, why don’t I have a pair? The cynic in me doesn’t want to believe that something so omnipresent is actually good… but there must be a reason for its rise to fame in the first place? I had to find out. When I reach for my phone to scroll through my Instagram feed, I see them on nearly every influencer in my Discover tab. If I were to describe the Reebok Club C 85 in one word, it’d be “inescapable.” Everywhere I go, whether it’s the farmer’s market, Target, or the local bike trail, I see this old-school leather tennis shoe.
