What We’re Saying: BAIT and Reebok are going back in time for their latest collaboration, which is actually a reissue of the "West East" pack from 2018. The collection consists of three retro silhouettes, each of which appears identical in comparison to the OG collab.
Featuring the Ex-O-Fit, Workout Plus, and Club C 85, the BAIT x Reebok "West East" pack is a nod to the '80s when each sneaker was released and originally used for athletic performance. All three models arrive with clean white leather uppers and vintage-processed soles for an old school look and feel. On the left shoes you will find a logo window, tongue label, the US flag on the insole and the BAIT logo next to it. Conversely, the right shoes feature the classic Reebok logo with the British flag. The heels are then adorned with a red and blue brand logo to represent east and west.
All in all, the "West East" pack is reminiscent of a time when each of these '80s Reebok models were used for fitness. More recently, they have of course become more of a stylistic street option that remains sporty and classic.
You'll have the chance to land the BAIT x Reebok collaboration when it releases on Friday, July 30, through baitme.jp and all BAIT chapter stores.
