The iconic Hunter x Hunter anime series has received an exclusive line of trainers by Reebok.
Reebok's new Hunter x Hunter line features five designs based on popular characters from the series and past shoe releases. Via Hypebeast, Hisoka's design is inspired by Reebok's previous Instapump Fury range, featuring designs like playing cards, Bungee Gum and his teardrop tattoo. Gon's Reebok LX2200 takes after his green uniform, Killua's Reebok Club C comes in white and purple, and Netero's design takes after Reebok's Beatnik sandals. The Hunter Association sneakers are based on the Reebok Nano X3 Adventure. The five pairs, priced between $110-$220, will be released on Reebok's official site on March 22, 2024.
