BAPE & Reebok's Latest Collaboration Is Giving Us Déjà Vu
Season: Spring/Summer 2022
Model: Club C, Instapump Fury
Release Date: January 15
Buy: Online at BAPE's website
Editor's Notes: It's official: BAPE and Reebok will once again tie the knot as collaborators, riffing (for a third time, it's worth noting) on the sneaker imprint's Club C and Instapump Fury.
First teased on January 4, the team-up was revealed in full via Instagram this morning.
The fruits of their labor doesn't deviate much from past BAPE x Reebok drops. The Club C is rendered in white, this time with blue and red top-stitching. Similarly parallel to the pair's last release, the Instapump Fury is updated with a camo upper in shades of blue, orange, and purple — in fact, the shoe appears to be exactly the same as August's iteration.
The similarities aren't lost on fans.
"Didn’t these already release?" a comment on BAPE's Instagram reads. "These literally released a few months ago," another notes.
This time, though, BAPE recruited Bryson Tiller, Ryan Trey, and Nia Sultana to star in a campaign debuting the new-ish sneakers.
With the enduring popularity of the Club C and Instapump Fury, BAPE and Reebok seem to be minding the old adage: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
