This is the first collaboration between the ’80s-fab footwear brand and the global National Geographic nonprofit.
This collection of planetary Reebok kicks, made in collaboration with National Geographic, brings both limited-edition performance and lifestyle shoes to hikers and outdoor enthusiasts around the world.
To bring the collection to life, Reebok collaborated with two National Geographic Explorers, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant and Matthieu Paley, to capture riveting imagery in some of their favorite locations. The imagery was taken in places that happened to inspire some of the shoes.
But Reebok’s new nature-inspired shoes are a whole lot more than just footwear.
Each shoe also contains a unique QR code on the tongue, transporting you into what inspired the product through unique perspectives and 360-degree immersive videos. The kids’ models also feature fun facts on the inner tongue about each shoe’s theme.
It’s a shoe, a learning moment, and an outdoor experience all in one.
The collection will launch with seven styles — five for adults and two for kids. The styles featured include Reebok’s Nano X1, Floatride Energy 3, Classic Leather Legacy, Classic Leather Kids, Club C, Club C Revenge Legacy, and Club C Kids.
Nat Geo Kicks: Rock Styles From Forests, Deserts, Oceans, and Volcanos
Check out a sneak peek of some of our favorite models in the collection below. We’ll start with the outdoor hike models.
- Nano X1 Adventure ($140): Inspired by Mombo, Northern Botswana, with safari-inspired coloring and sock liner graphic detail.
- Floatride Energy 3 Adventure ($120): The Floatride comes in two styles. The unisex (pictured above) is ocean-themed, with glow-in-the-dark detailing on the heel, laces, and forefront as well as a sock liner wave graphic. The women’s-only model has shifting, almost 3D color and glitter details as well as a cosmos graphic sock liner.
- Club C Kids ($50-65): The Club C comes in two styles — one by land and one by sea. The land model, pictured above, has a map graphic on the sides and forefront, a foliage graphic on the sock liner, and park exploration graphics on the heel. (Available in children’s and infant shoe sizing.)
- Club C Revenge Legacy ($90): This lifestyle shoe features biodegradable knit and textured leather throughout the upper and tongue, inspired by the roots and moss of ancient Mayan cities in Mesoamerica.
Prices range from $50 to $140, and sizes range from infant to adult. The collection is available starting Sept. 23.
