Reebok Is Selling Their Cult Favorite Kicks At '80s Prices — But There's A Catch
Even though the '80s happened decades ago, they're still alive and well in our present time. Sure, we ditched the leg warmers and Hammer pants, but so many of the decade's elements are still inside our closets. From bodysuits to high waist mom jeans to normcore dad fashion, we haven't moved on from the '80s. And nothing proves that more than our collective love for Reebok. The brand knows they're a cult-classic, and to throw their fans back into that Flash Dancing, peek hip hop era, Reebok is having a TBT '80s flash sale today, Nov. 16. But there's a catch: It's only for this evening.
What exactly about the sale makes it reminiscent of our favorite bygone era? I'm glad you asked. From 5 p.m. to midnight ET and 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. PT, the brand will be slashing all their prices back to their original pricing from the '80s. It will be like you time-traveled back to 1985 just to get a steal on a pair of Classic Leathers, and then came back to 2017 to enjoy your spoils.
A bevvy of different styles from the '80s will be on sale, lowering the prices to the original amount when they first launched. To give you an idea what to expect, some of the shoes will be the iconic Classic Leather, the Club C, the Freestyle Hi, and the Workout Plus.
To get the discount, all you need to do is enter promo code REWIND at checkout, and the savings are yours. To get a better understanding of which retro shoes will be on discount, check out some of the selections below.

The Freestyle His are the retro high tops of your dreams.

Packing velcro straps and laces, it keeps your ankles comfortable while throwing it back to what high schoolers wore in the '80s. Usually this prices at $75, but today it will be discounted down to $48.
4Workout Plus
Workout Plus, $50, Reebok
You can just imagine wearing this in a sweaty, leotard-wearing montage in an old '80s gym, where your hair is dripping and whipping around a la Kanye's "Fade" video. This classic shoe comes in white or black, and its iconic H-strap design is what makes it a cult-classic. Usually this shoe sells for $80, but today it's reduced down to $50.
Remember: This is just a little taste of what the actual sale will provide. For men, there will be 135 different kinds of shoes available, whereas there will be 89 different women's shoes on discount.
