Whim Golf and Reebok's Classic Leather Sneaker Sees Blue Skies

As a golf enthusiast and art lover, I’m thoroughly impressed by Whim Golf’s latest collaboration with Reebok on the Classic Leather sneaker. The brand’s ability to merge design, art, and golf in such an authentic way resonates deeply with me.

The allure of golf’s resurgence among millennials and Gen Z can’t be overlooked, with its nostalgic appeal drawing many to the game. For some, golf offers a refreshing escape from technology, harkening back to when Tiger Woods was making his debut. In this niche market, Whim Golf stands out as a unique label that embodies more than just clothing. It’s also a design studio and an artistic practice.

Whim has collaborated with Reebok for their newest project, bringing a unique and creative twist to the iconic 80s Classic Leather sneaker. These aren’t traditional golf shoes, but rather an expression of the game through design instead of practicality. The midsole, soft suede toe, and heel guards are colored in a light blue hue, evoking images of a clear morning sky and the feeling of achieving your first successful golf swing. Whim aims to welcome newcomers to the sport by drawing inspiration from their Free Golf events at urban driving ranges where beginners learn the essentials of golfing. According to Whim, “This experience of hitting that initial ball in mid-air symbolizes a significant achievement in life – the first triumph after the struggles and challenges encountered when attempting something new.”

Whim’s unique identity is evident in its sneakers, with the company’s bold logo gracing various parts such as the tongues, heels, insoles, lace ends, and packaging. The collaboration between Whim Golf and Reebok Classic Leather will be available for $130 USD starting July 25 exclusively through Whim. Subsequently, it will be released on July 26 on Reebok’s platform and at select retailers.
