Both brands are of British origin, but this combination was unexpected.
The combination is Paul Smith and Reebok.
This time, three pairs of sneakers were created based on the "CLUB C 85" by Reebok.
The theme of the new collection is "tennis shoes that can be worn in a prestigious clubhouse," incorporating Paul Smith's design philosophy of "classic with a twist" into a shoe that has been a favorite since its introduction in 1985.
The off-white pair features Paul Smith's signature stripe on the outsole and side of the left foot.

The next model is a cross between burgundy, navy, and green, accented with a fluorescent yellow line, a reference to the color palette of the Land Rover Defender, a car arranged by Paul Smith in 2016.

The last model uses a gray, navy, and green color scheme, with the orange on the shoe tongue and heel as a point of interest. This was inspired by the color scheme of the "Anglepoise® Type75 lamp" introduced by Paul Smith in 1919.

These are available for pre-order at the Paul Smith online store until January 9 (Thu.) of the new year. They will go on sale on Saturday, January 11.
The products will be available at the Paul Smith online store and stores nationwide, as well as at the Reebok online store, Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinsaibashi stores.
