If you’re a horror fan who’s also a sneakerhead, we have the shoe line for you! Reebok has teamed up with Universal Studios to release a new line of shoes based on their iconic monsters. Calling it a “Boktober” celebration.
The line will feature five of the legendary Universal Monsters. Paying homage to Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Creature From the Black Lagoon, and the Wolfman. Each one is getting their own shoe with their silhouette and tailored to each character’s personality.
The Universal Monster Line
- Fury 94 Mid Shoes featuring Creature from the Black Lagoon – This design celebrates the deep-sea creature’s 70th anniversary. Along with the 30th anniversary of Reebok’s Instapump Fury design. This legacy shoe features a moss and algae print with reptilian-textured nubuck overlays.
- BB 4000 II Basketball Shoes featuring Dracula – Now these are some kicks you can sink your teeth into. These have premium leather uppers that begin as a deep black/dark red color. However, as they age, hints of blood red begin to show through.
- Pump TZ Basketball Shoes featuring Frankenstein – With hardware that resembles his neck bolts and stitching made to mimic staples, there is no doubt who inspired these sneakers. There are even some glue-stained details to really set off the entire look.
- Club C Megacourt Shoes featuring Bride of Frankenstein – This heritage shoe is stitched together like the bride herself. The laces in her signature white and black hair color, features deco stitching throughout, and a distressed rubber outsole.
- Club C Bulc Shoes featuring the Wolfman – These feature some extra hairy suede to resemble the Wolfman. Along with scratch marks and a blood-stained textile lining. They’ll be sure to have you howling at the moon.
