As the bright and cheery, operators are standing by call now, volume and hold mousse 1980s gave way to the flannel flying, greasy haired disaffection of the alternative ‘90s, the tennis club and the aerobics studio were no longer the places to be. Enter the Reebok Beatnik, a mule sandal applying Reebok’s performance and style to a look ready for Lollapalooza and Lilith Fair. (Being on your feet for eight hours in 90-degree heat to watch Jane’s Addiction and Liz Phair may not have been a traditional athletic pursuit, but it definitely made its own physical demands.)
Who better to put their own spin on this ‘90s cult favorite than alternative revivalist experts, Pleasures? The aggressive tread sole pattern that gives the Beatnik its signature look it outfitted with a black, suede upper, adorned with an embroidered spider web graphic. The embroidered arachnid motif continues onto the heel strap, with a smaller spider, while the front Velcro strap declares ‘Pleasures’ in gothic script. Life is pain and suffering enough, you can at least let your feet feel good.
