Reebok Classic Nylon 1991 Vintage Chalk

Taking it Back To 91' With The Reebok Classic Nylon Vintage Trainer

First released back in the early 90s the Reebok Classic Nylon Vintage trainer marked the next chapter of the Bolton born brands' legendary Classic silhouette.

As much as Reebok were dominating the newly found Premier League in the UK & the NBA in the USA in the early 90s they still hadn't forgotten about their Classics. As we moved into the 1990s footwear trends and technology had changed quite a lot and with that came game changing innovation & trainer tech such as Hexalite courtesy of the Bolton born sportswear brand in 1990. Reebok was the brand everyone wanted a piece in the 90s famously sponsoring the likes of Ryan Giggs with the legendary Sidewinder football boot which every young Man Utd fan wanted at the time. They also went all out with a range of "high top" court silhouettes such as the Pump, the Pump SXT & the Kamikazi. Even though their dominance was pretty prevalent from the Red Devils very own training ground in Salford to the speedy courts of the Supersonics in Seattle across the Atlantic, there was still one simple silhouette from the 1980s that defined Reebok, the Classic. First introduced in 1991, the Reebok Classic Nylon Vintage trainer revived the classic 80s "all leather" silhouette for the early 90s trainer consumer.

Reebok's Union Jack logo had already became like a badge of honour for fitness afiocondas in the 1980s who were either "pumping iron" like Arnie or jumping into a Jane Fonda inspired aerobic class. OG silhouettes like the Reebok Classic trainer championed the whole 80s fitness craze, designed as an all purpose training shoe that could be used for various workouts. First released in 1982, the Reebok Classic became the foundation of Reebok's celebrated 'All Leather' training styles during the 1980s. 9 years later in 1991, Reebok introduced the Classic Nylon trainer. The Classic Nylon paved the way for a 90s revival of the Classic silhouette which would pretty much last the entire decade. From local fair-grounds to football fans at France 98' the Reebok Classic remained an all time footwear favourite of the 1990s.
