I remember wearing my first pair of Reebok Club Cs with a pair of purple track pants and a stonewash denim jacket. I thought I looked pretty cool for a five-year-old. Today I'd still honour its retro vibes with plenty of corduroy, a summer shirt and a bucket hat. These shoes encourage you to express yourself - so why not have fun with it?

Suits can be surprisingly versatile and easy to wear – particularly if they’re made from linen, which is ideal for summer. Pairing one with white sneakers like Reebok Club Cs brings a suit down to earth in a way that’s great for everyday life.

A cute skirt suit paired with white Reebok Club C sneakers is one of my favoured looks. I have two skirt suits that I wear on rotation. To balance my dressing tones, I wear a soft colour on top to resemble my shoes, like this cream knit.

I have quite nostalgic personal style, so I love the 80s heritage of Reebok Club Cs. I’m channelling a vintage mum vibe by pairing these classic sneakers with merino socks, floral prints in my favourite colour (brown) and a cute waistcoat. I also plan to wear them with loose blue jeans and a chunky Aran sweater for another spin on the decade.

Reebok Club Cs bring a casual vibe to what would otherwise be quite a dressed-up outfit. I like the tempering effect of sneakers and denim on delicate fabrics like silk, turning this pink skirt and white polo combo into elevated everyday wear. Plus I can get around faster in sneaks.

Reebok’s famous Club C sneakers are celebrating a milestone 35th birthday. Originally designed for tennis club dress codes, the iconic design helped kick off the quintessentially-80s sneaker trend when it was released, and the sneaker went on to become a pop culture classic.

With the return of the decade’s fashion and a renewed appreciation for timeless style, Club Cs feel more relevant than ever – transcending age, gender and interests.

Reebok has released a special anniversary collection that reimagines the style with vintage-inspired silhouettes, hits of bright colour and webbing details.

A fresh update on a beloved classic, inspired by this new collection the Viva team have put their own unique spin on these timeless sneakers – pairing them with tried-and-tested wardrobe favourites for an inspiring range of outfits that channel each person's unique aesthetic.

To celebrate this historic birthday, Viva is also teaming up with Reebok to give away $1035 of Classics product to one lucky reader.
