Japanese lifestyle brand MUJI has teamed up with Reebok to create an innovative minimalist sneaker. The collection is inspired by Reebok’s classic Club C 85 silhouette, dubbed the ‘Court Sneakers’.
Court Sneaker: MUJI’s Aesthetic
The Court Sneakers, based on Reebok’s Club C 85 model, is a true reflection of MUJI’s minimalist design philosophy. They feature a clean, monochromatic aesthetic and lack any noticeable branding. What sets them apart are the innovative materials and design elements that ensure both comfort and functionality.
Court Sneakers: MUJI’s Innovative Initiative
Comes in black and white colour, this collection is also an initiative of MUJI’s parent, Ryohin Keikaku, to expand its sneaker lineup with products made from materials other than cotton, with the aim of creating longer-lasting standard shoes.
Furthermore, the new lineup features Reebok’s DMX Microbubble technology, which enhances comfort with air bubbles inside the cup sole, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable wearing experience.
Moreover, the footwear aims to address common issues, such as the inside of the heel to prevent slipping and a tab for easy wearing. These design features ensure a secure and comfortable fit, making these sneakers a practical and stylish choice.
The Iconic Timeless of Reebok Club C 85
As one of the most popular silhouettes from Reebok, Club C 85 is a time capsule of 1980s tennis style. The Club C is a classic white leather sneaker that has stood the test of time. Originally designed for tennis, this iconic model has remained popular for decades. Its simple design and understated elegance have made it a timeless classic.
In 1993, Reebok introduced Club C to its Classics category after Club C also appeared in women’s sizes. It paved the way for the sneaker from the court to the streets, catwalks and skate parks.
Court Sneakers: A Staple for Every Wardrobe
The Reebok x Muji sneaker collection is an instant classic that surpasses fleeting fashion trends. Both Reebok and Muji are known for their commitment to quality and simplicity, making this collaboration a perfect synergy of these values.
The sneakers are iconic in their restraint, stripping away excess to focus on the essentials. The clean lines, neutral colour palette, and absence of overt branding create a shoe that is not just a product of the moment but a piece that can seamlessly integrate into any wardrobe, regardless of the season or trends. This timelessness comes from the idea that true style is found in simplicity, where every detail is intentional, and nothing is superfluous.
This collection exemplifies how minimalist design can achieve iconic, and it is more than just footwear—they are a statement of enduring elegance and functionality.
Muji x Reebok’s Court Sneakers are available in black and white at Muji’s Japanese physical stores and online. Domestic and international releases have yet to be announced. Visit their official website for updates.
