“It’s nice to see we are not only going back in time style-wise, but also quality-wise,” wrote one reviewer.

The sneaker’s original full name is the Club Champion, according to GQ, and it launched in 1985 as an off-duty shoe for tennis players. Like many of Reebok’s now-iconic 1980s designs, it quickly became popular off the court – Mick Jagger wore these or a very similar pair in the music video for his “Dancing In The Streets” duet with David Bowie – and the shoe’s cool factor persists to this day.

Over Thanksgiving, I had an unfortunate run-in with a creek while walking through the woods in Arkansas. (As in, I fell in the creek, ok? Don’t worry about it.) But my Reebok Club C 85s were left soaking wet and covered in mud, to my dismay. While it may not be advisable, I threw them in the wash, and now they look good as new. So if you’re worried about white sneakers getting too dirty, know that these are easy to care for.

I went up half a size in these throwback kicks and they fit perfectly. Many shoppers reported taking their regular size, while some advised that the shoe runs narrow. And luckily, they come in both men’s and women’s sizes.

“It feels great going back to basics with this shoe, and being stylish while doing it. It’s a great shoe to run errands with.” —Fatou B.

“I needed tennis shoes for a trip about four years ago. All the ones I looked at had turned up hard rubber front ends. Uck. Bought these and fell in love. They are still going strong.” —Sharon D.

“Surprisingly amazing quality, and extremely comfortable. It’s nice to see we are not only going back in time style-wise, but also quality-wise.” —Prisca T.

“I find the off-white vintage of the shoes makes me less worried about dirtying them, because dirt doesn’t show as much as a crisp white pair. The green is cute and not so standout that it would clash with an outfit. I completely get why so many people recommend these, and I would guaranteed buy these again!” —Marcelle
