Reebok has partnered with Universal Products & Experiences to launch the Reebok Universal Monsters collection just in time for Halloween. This collaboration revitalizes Reebok’s “Boktober” celebration by pairing iconic footwear with legendary horror characters.
The collection features five classic Reebok silhouettes, each reimagined in honor of a Universal Monster: Dracula, Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Wolfman. Each pair arrives in custom tombstone packaging, adding a unique touch for enthusiasts.
The Instapump Fury 94 Mid celebrates both the 70th anniversary of the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the 30th anniversary of the Instapump Fury. Priced at $220, this design features a moss and seaweed print with reptilian-textured nubuck overlays that capture a deep-sea aesthetic.
The BB 4000 II pays homage to Dracula with a premium patent leather upper. The color-shifting material resembles blood, reflecting the essence of the famous vampire, and is available for $130.
The Club C Bulc embodies the primal nature of the Wolfman. Featuring a textile upper with exaggerated hairy suede overlays, distressed laces and a blood-stained textile lining, this style retails for $120.
The Pump TZ pays homage to Frankenstein with glue stain details and decorative stitching throughout. Metal hardware represents the monster’s neck screws, and a translucent aged rubber outsole completes the design, which retails for $180.
For women only, the Club C Megacourt takes inspiration from the Bride of Frankenstein. It features distressed two-tone laces, decorative stitching and a distressed rubber outsole and retails for $120.
Portia Blunt, SVP of Product at Reebok, said, “We are thrilled to bring back ‘Boktober’ with this exciting collaboration with Universal Monsters, a franchise that has defined horror and pop culture for decades. This collection celebrates both the iconic monsters and Reebok’s unique designs, blending nostalgia, creativity and Halloween spirit in a way that resonates with fans of all ages. We’re proud to offer a collection that is sure to be a must-have for classic horror fans and sneaker enthusiasts alike.”
The Reebok Universal Monsters Collection will be available worldwide at 10am EST on October 11, 2024 on Reebok.com and select retailers.
