Reebok is teaming up with the popular anime series Hunter x Hunter to introduce an exclusive collection that combines iconic characters with Reebok's timeless silhouettes.
The collection features five unique sneaker designs, each inspired by key characters from the Hunter x Hunter series. Among these designs is the Reebok Instapump Fury, which takes cues from the mysterious and charismatic Hisoka. The shoe incorporates pastel hues and motifs such as playing cards, Bungee Gum, and Hisoka's signature teardrop tattoo.
For fans of the series' protagonist, Gon, the Reebok LX2200 pays homage to his adventurous spirit. It features elements from his iconic green uniform and embodies his energetic and determined nature. The collection also includes the Reebok Club C, influenced by Killua. It showcases a sleek design that reflects the character's agility.
Netero's distinct aesthetic lands on the Reebok Beatnik sandals, while the Reebok Nano X3 Adventure symbolizes the unity of the Hunter Association, incorporating the association's logo and classic color scheme.
The collection will include five sneaker designs and a selection of apparel items. It will launch on March 22 through Reebok's official website. The sneakers are priced between $110 and $200 USD.
