Reebok’s partnership with Mayner goes back several years. Mayner regularly features Reebok footwear on his runways and has collaborated with the brand on multiple exclusive releases. The Workout Plus OG appeared in Mayner’s Paris Fashion Week FW25 collection last year, signaling another chapter in their creative partnership. Mayner has built his reputation on oversized, gender-fluid silhouettes that rework traditional menswear codes through unexpected proportions and careful construction.
“I was drawn to the Workout Plus OG because it carries a sense of familiarity and permanence,” Mayner said. “I like working with forms that feel rooted in tradition but still allow room to shift the proportions and the attitude. My approach often blends the sacred and the everyday, so applying it to a Reebok icon felt natural. It lets me reinterpret a familiar shoe in a way that remains true to its history while incorporating my own style.“
The Reebok x Hed Mayner Workout Plus OG receives a raw, artisanal treatment that distinguishes it from previous versions. Rock-tumbled, full-grain leather uppers create a softened texture across the silhouette. Each pair is hand-washed and hand-painted with distressed detailing that gives the shoe a broken-in look right out of the box. The white gum rubber outsole stays true to the original design, maintaining the Workout Plus’s heritage DNA. Because each pair receives a unique finishing treatment, no two shoes are identical.
The shoe reflects Mayner’s design philosophy of taking familiar objects and reshaping them through subtle interventions. The distressing isn’t aggressive or overly processed. Instead, it suggests the natural wear patterns that might develop over years of use, compressed into the manufacturing process.

“Reebok has a long history of partnering with designers who breathe new life into our classic shoes,” said Anastasia Franquillo, Reebok’s senior director of global fashion and streetwear. “Working with Hed continues that story. This collaboration showcases how iconic Reebok designs can be elevated to luxurious, sumptuous, and stylish pieces by one of fashion’s most innovative designers.“
Introduced in 1987, the Workout Plus was designed as a follow-up to Reebok’s groundbreaking Freestyle aerobics shoe. Originally designed for cross-training, the shoe became a streetwear staple throughout the late ’80s and ’90s. Reebok has revived the model multiple times, collaborating with designers and brands to reinterpret its clean lines and functional design. Mayner’s version adds another layer to the ongoing dialogue between sportswear heritage and contemporary fashion.
This collaboration comes at a time when fashion designers are looking to athletic footwear not only for inspiration but also for direct partnerships. Mayner’s work with Reebok establishes the brand in high fashion circles while keeping the product more affordable than luxury sneaker projects, which often exceed $500.
The limited-edition Reebok x Hed Mayner Workout Plus OG releases on February 5, 2026, priced at $165.
