The new Reebok x Eames Club C collection celebrates with four pairs of shoes the legacy of Ray and Charles Eames, reinterpreting in particular two artworks of Ray Eames. Known for their ground-breaking furniture creations for Herman Miller and Vitra, Charles and Ray Eames “redefined post-war American design and shaped the 20th century with their playful yet purposeful sensibility”, said Reebok.

The designers drew the collection on the Club C silhouette, a tennis shoe first released in 1985. One pair is decorated with the "Dot Pattern" designed by Ray Eames in 1947, while the other is covered in a reproduction of her "Composition painting" from 1939. Alongside the trainers decorated in patterns, Reebok and Eames Office also designed two monochrome pairs of trainers: total white and total black.

All of the shoes will be packaged in a shoebox inspired to the iconic Eames house – also known as Case Study House No. 8 – in Los Angeles: an example of post-war suburban architecture and, according to the brand, "a tribute to the couple's design ethos and an exemplar of sustainable building".
