Reebok Unveils UNIVERSAL Monsters Line

Article by August Tales

Ahead of the eerie holiday, Reebok launches its Halloween-inspired collection, “Boktober”. This unique venture is with Universal Monsters, and presents five snazzy sneakers. The iconic Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, the creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Wolfman are the influences behind these styles.

Trek in the Murky Depths with InstaPump Fury 94 Mid Shoes

Celebrating two anniversaries, Reebok’s InstaPump Fury 94 Mid Shoes draw cues from the Creature, AKA Gill-man. It is the 70th anniversary of “Creature From the Black Lagoon” and Reebok’s Instapump Fury’s 30th. Sporting a sludgy algae-like print, these shoes capture the ghoulish details of Gill-man’s mossy abode. With its reptilian-like pattern, it’s sure to make a splash at $220.

Channel the Horror with Pump TZ Basketball Shoes

From the depths of the lagoon, we transition to the Frankenstein-inspired Pump TZ Basketball shoes. With Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein revamp, it’s the perfect time to don this monster homage. The cunning design includes artificial glue stains and decorative stitching. The aged rubber outsole completes the worn-in look of this $180 remake.

Unleash the Vampire with BB 4000 II Basketball Shoes

Dracula, a cultural vampire icon, has influenced the BB 4000 II shoe. Its colour-shifting patent leather tantalizingly transitions from a deep dark red/black to a bloody red. Savvy Dracula references embellish the tongue and sock liner. Complete with a bloody sole imprint, this dark delight could be yours for $130.

Bride of Frankenstein Inspires Club C Megacourt Shoes

Next on our monstrous runway is the Club C Megacourt, inspired by the 1935 sequel to Universal’s original Frankenstein, the “Bride of Frankenstein”. The distressed two-toned laces mimic her iconic black and white spiraled hair. The white decorative stitches mirror her face and bandages, retailing at $120.

Roam Free with Club C Bulc Shoes

The collection rounds out with the Club C Bulc, a nod to the 1941 film, “The Wolfman”. Hairy suede, akin to the werewolf’s fur, swaths the upper part of the shoe. Distressing on the tongue imitates claw marks, and blood stains the lining. Available for $120, it’s another horrifyingly attractive option.

An Undeniably Monstrous Range

A monstrous dilemma arises when choosing from these options. Perfect for a Halloween movie marathon or escaping the thrills of Universal Horror Nights. The Boktober collection creeps onto Reebok.com and select retailers on October 11 at 10 AM EST. Considering the excitement, early lurkers might snag the best pairs. Get ready to stomp this spooky season in your preferred monstrous style!
