There’s a formula for the perfect summer capsule wardrobe: breezy, feel-good pieces that can keep up with you. With the warm weather upon us, it’s all about streamlining with style essentials that feel both classic and entirely of the moment.

And when it comes to footwear, Reebok Club C totally fits the bill. Originally released in 1985, the Reebok Club C launched as a tennis shoe that epitomized the era’s low-key sneaker stylings. With its clean, casual aesthetic, this style captured attention from the jump and solidified Reebok’s spot in the sneaker space. More than 35 years later, it remains as timeless as ever.

This summer, two iterations of the heritage sneaker stand to make a major statement. There’s the Reebok Club C 85, a bright-white low-top that stuns with its polished simplicity. Sleek and minimalistic, it’s the very definition of a modern classic. Think of it as an ideal street-style staple since the monochromatic leather upper and restrained silhouette mean it goes with pretty much everything.

Also belonging to the Club C 85 family is a style that leans even deeper into its retro roots: the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage. Decked out with nostalgic details like the green woven Reebok label, plush French-terry lining and the perfectly weathered patina (we can’t get enough of the white-on-eggshell colourway), the Vintage version offers up effortless cool.

The Club C 85s’ cool factor comes from their innate versatility. It’s just as easy to picture wearing them with scrunched-down socks and a floral mididress to pick out fresh produce as it is to imagine them with baggy jeans and a cropped tee to saunter along the waterfront under sunny skies. Best part is, it’s the kind of shoe you won’t even notice getting 10,000 steps in.
