Reebok has launched the 'Universal Monsters Collection,' a new footwear line inspired by classic horror characters, as part of its 'Boktober' campaign for the Halloween season. The collection features a range of sneakers designed around iconic figures, blending creative elements.
The collection includes designs inspired by Dracula, Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Wolfman, each packaged in custom tombstone-themed boxes. The 'BB4000 II + Dracula' sneakers feature "a color-shifting design, while the Pump TZ + Frankenstein sneakers incorporate weathered laces, stitched details, and metal hardware." The 'Club C Megacourt + The Bride of Frankenstein' shoes offer a versatile look with white stitching and two-toned laces on a black background. The 'Club C Bulc + The Wolfman' sneakers feature hairy suede, distressed laces, and blood-stained lining. Finally, the 'Instapump Fury 94 Mid + Creature from the Black Lagoon' high tops highlight "moss-like textures and reptilian-inspired overlays."
The Universal Monsters Collection will be available starting October 11.
