Reebok, Melody Ehsani Collaborate on New Ventilator and Blacktop Pump
Reebok Classic has once again collaborated with L.A.-based designer Melody Ehsani, using python leather on the classic Ventilator and Blacktop Pump silhouettes for women. The shoes will be available exclusively at her L.A. store and the store’s website on April 24, and select retailers worldwide May 1.
The silhouettes are reimagined Ehsani with street-inspired styling, using luxe python leather for a second time – the first during the inaugural Reebok Classic x Melody Ehsani collection, the designer’s much-used evil eye along the laces neat the toecap, and a gum outsole.
Hidden from the Blacktop Pump is an interior wedge heel that gives the shoe a more feminine look and feel. The Ventilator silhouette is unchanged, in an effort to stay true to the classic sneaker, which turned 25 this year.

The retail price tag for the collection ranges from $120-$200.
Reebok has been busy with releases in April, specifically with new versions of its Ventilator. The company released the Day Glo pack with four colorways for men and women – four colors — neon blue and neon yellow for men, neon pink and neon orange for women. For the release, the brand teamed up with rap superstar Kendrick Lamar for a video, titled “Be Ventilated” that displays the pack and the diversity of today’s fashionable men and women.
