Eames x Reebok Classic Leather Fiberglass Pink
109Reebok and Eames Office continue their ongoing celebration of the lives and creative legacy of Charles and Ray Eames with the new Eames x Reebok Classic Leather “Fiberglass Pack” – a small collection of leather shoes made to evoke the patina of the duo’s vintage fiberglass furniture.
Draped in a custom developed leather that has been painstakingly patterned to capture the texture of fiberglass, the Reebok x Eames Classic Leather Fiberglass Pack’s monotone uppers sit elegantly atop the shoe’s crisp natural rubber two-piece midsole. Each colorway – Parchment, Sea Foam Green, and Pink – celebrates Eames’ original Molded Fiberglass Chair color options offered from the 1950’s to today. More original chair colors appear on the insoles, which feature a 16mm print from the Eames archives taken on the set of the whimsical 1960 Eames film Kaleidoscope Jazz Chair. The traditional Classic Leather window box branding is replaced with a debossed ‘Eames’ signature that mirrors the authentication branding that can be found on the underside of Molded Fiberglass Chairs. Each shoe comes with a collectible keychain of an Eames DAX (dining-height armchair with X-shaped base) in the same color as the upper.
