History of the Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage Casual Men’s Shoe

Originally introduced in 1985 as the Reebok Club C, this iconic model quickly gained popularity not only on the tennis courts but also as a beloved lifestyle sneaker.

The “Club C” in the name stands for “Club Champion,” reflecting its intended purpose as a high-performance tennis shoe for athletes seeking comfort, support, and durability during their matches. The original design featured a clean and timeless aesthetic, with a low-cut profile, a leather upper, and minimal branding, making it an instant classic.

In response to the growing demand for vintage-inspired sneakers and the resurgence of retro fashion, Reebok introduced the Club C Revenge Vintage.

Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage Casual Shoe – Upper

The leather upper on the Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage

Our Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage review starts with the upper. It’s crafted from high-quality materials, which adds to its overall durability and premium feel. Reebok is known for using top-notch materials, and this shoe is no exception.

On both sides of the shoe, you’ll find Reebok’s iconic side stripes. These stripes are a nod to the brand’s heritage and are instantly recognizable.

The Club C Revenge Vintage is also equipped with strategically placed perforations on the toe box. These perforations allow air circulation, reducing moisture and odor.

Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage Casual Sneaker – Sole

The Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage comes with a robust high-abrasion-resistant rubber outsole. Great traction and grip on various surfaces so good for walking commutes and wet weather. The royal blue really pop on the outsole. It’s a bit brighter than the blue on the leather upper.

The rubber cupsole comes with an EVA wedge on the medial sidewall. Great for shock absorption. The heel tab is leather with the classic “Reebok” displayed across the back.

Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage Casual Sneaker – Lining

I personally think the lining is the best part about this shoe. It’s a throwback retro feature but also serves a purpose to add extra padding. Like the rubber outsole, the blue on the terry cloth lining is brighter than the rest of the leather upper.

The terry cloth lining with the cushioned footbed combo makes an extremely comfortable fit. The terry cloth is very soft and feels like a durable, high quality cotton towel on the heel and ankle.

The Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage is designed with a padded collar and tongue, providing additional cushioning and support around the ankle area. This helps prevent any discomfort during extended wear. The foam tongue, the terry cloth lining, and the cushioned footbed are all awesome pieces for an extremely light and padded wear.
