Calling all horror fans and sneakerheads! Just in time for Halloween, Reebok is resurrecting its “Boktober” collection in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences. This chilling collection features five iconic Reebok silhouettes reimagined as tributes to the legendary Universal Monsters – Dracula, Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Wolfman.
A Monstrous Mashup:
Each sneaker boasts unique design elements that capture the essence of its corresponding monster. Here’s a closer look:
- The BB 4000 II + Dracula ($130): This bloodsucker-inspired shoe features a premium patent leather upper with a color-shifting material that resembles blood, a fitting tribute to the king of vampires.
- The Pump TZ + Frankenstein ($180): Channel Frankenstein’s monster with glue-stain details, deco stitching, metal hardware resembling the monster’s neck bolts, and a translucent aged rubber outsole.
- The Club C Megacourt + The Bride of Frankenstein ($120): This women’s only silhouette takes cues from the stitched-together body parts of the Bride. It features two-toned distressed laces, a distressed rubber outsole, and deco stitching throughout.
- The Instapump Fury 94 Mid + Creature from the Black Lagoon ($220): Celebrating two anniversaries – 70 years of the Creature and 30 years of the Instapump Fury – this shoe boasts a moss and algae print overlaid with reptilian-textured nubuck, creating a striking fusion of two legends.
- The Club C Bulc + The Wolfman ($120): This shoe’s textile upper, featuring exaggerated hairy suede overlays, distressed laces, and a blood-stained textile lining, captures the primal nature of the Wolfman.
