Following on from their first collaboration last year, Angelo Baque’s streetwear imprint Awake NY have joined with Reebok Classics to create a new spin on the Club C 85 and Classic Leather – featuring a tonal chalk leather upper with snake accents to give an elevated premium feel.

Inspired by the global touchpoints that connect streetwear today, this second collaboration between the two brand was created with the intention to “Design something that felt like New York heritage, but that also acknowledges London youth culture; the goal was to capture the synergy between both of the worlds and bringing them together through authentic product,” said Angelo Baque, Founder of Awake NY. The considered selection of the Club C and Classic Leather silhouettes was routed in Baque’s memory of his late friend, footwear industry guru, editor and writer Gary Warnett – “I wish he could have been here for the design process, especially when looking at the Classic Leather, seeing the late 80s and 90s and the culmination of street culture and hip hop and New York’s love of the Club C.”

The Reebok Classics x Awake NY Club C 85 & Classic Leather will be launching at HIP on 13/03/21 online at 08:00am.
