Here is a behind the story of each pair:

The Coloring Toy

Inspired by the Eames’ 1955 The Coloring Toy children’s coloring and construction kit, the Reebok x Eames Classic Leather ‘The Coloring Toy’ features bold geometric outlines stamped across pristine white garment leather uppers. In the spirit of playful hands-on experimentation, wearers are encouraged to color in the shapes and transform each pair into a uniquely personal design object. The Reebok x Eames Classic Leather “The Coloring Toy’s” insole features the original Coloring Toy logo and a reinterpretation of the toy’s original instructions re-written by Eames Demetrios.

Rosewood

nspired by the sweeping Rosewood plywood shell of the iconic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, the Reebok x Eames Classic Leather “Rosewood” features a woodgrain print on the specialty leather upper that mimics the appearance of Rosewood, a favorite material of Charles and Ray. An original exploded diagram of the Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman is reproduced on the insoles.

Elephant Pack

Conceived in the 1940s while experimenting with the properties of molded plywood, the Eames Elephant is a small children’s play object that was unable to be mass-produced during Charles and Ray’s lifetime owing to the complexity and expense involved in shaping the creature’s complex curves. Finally released by Vitra in conjunction with the Eames Office in 2007, the Eames Elephant is now available in plywood and child-friendly plastic. The Reebok x Eames Classic Leather Elephant pays homage to these playful pachyderms with a removable elephant-face that shrouds the laces. The rich garment leather uppers are tonally drenched in authentic Eames Ice Grey, Poppy Red, and Dark Lime.
