Although many of Reebok’s recent designs have become instant must-haves, no sneaker in their lineup is as iconic as the Classic Leather sneaker. A simple design, the Classic Leather is an instantly recognizable shoe that’s lasted multiple generations. Along with Places + Faces, Reebok has turned this timeless sneaker into a modern hit. Places + Faces, a Tumblr blog turned lifestyle and photography company, has turned to the impact of music to pull inspiration into this new sneaker. Available in two colorways, this collaboration is a gentle remix that refreshes this staple sneaker.

While this collaborative sneaker doesn’t seem drastically different, the subtle details and switches breathe new air into the design. True to the UK’s Places + Faces brand, there are plenty of reflective details on the vector, heel, and tongue. A vintage-inspired tongue adds a retro flair to the shoe, along with reflective laces for extra style. Complete with an EVA midsole, the Classic Leather is complete with a rubber outsole and textile lining. This remixed sneaker comes in two classic colorways: Chalk/Silver/White and Black/Silver/White.

While these colorways are still minimal and modern, the sleekness of the reflective details and neutral tones allow this shoe to easily fit into any wardrobe. The collaboration hits Place + Faces and Reebok’s site on October 23 at 7 am PST and will retail for $130 each. A mixture of a retro design with modern detail, there’s no doubt that this update on the Classic Leather sneaker will become a classic for a new generation.
