Reebok Club C

Let us introduce you to an exciting selection of retro-inspired sneakers: the Reebok Club C collection. As you browse the JD Sports Australia range, you’ll discover the different models that we stock, from the ever-popular 85 to the Revenge and Grounds UK. These come in a variety of sizes and colours.

The History of the Reebok Club C

The first iteration of the Reebok Club C (or ‘Club Champion,’ as it was then called) made its debut in 1985, created to appeal to tennis players who wanted something more subdued. The sneaker is best known for its leather upper, which is highly minimalistic, as is often a requirement for admission into certain tennis clubs. On the upper are several perforated holes for breathability, and inside the shoe is a terry cloth lining, providing high levels of comfort.

Though originally made to appeal to tennis players, the early version of the collection—now referred to as the Club C 85—later found itself becoming a lifestyle shoe, with its versatile design appealing to a broader audience. Today, the collection remains a popular choice among sneakerheads (even some celebrities), who incorporate its retro appearance into their casual outfits.

The Club C 85 is no doubt the most famous of the collection, but there are more iterations, most notably the Revenge and Grounds UK. The Revenge includes more adventurous elements (like side stripes), while the Grounds UK distinguishes itself from the group by adopting a premium suede upper. Nevertheless, whichever version you choose, you’re guaranteed to enhance your style, so get yours now!
