Karol G Teams Up with Reebok, Bringing the Freestyle Hi Back to Its White-and-Blue Roots

The Freestyle Hi hasn't changed much since 1982, and this Karol G collab with Reebok isn't looking to shake things up either. The collection's name, "Born Classic. Worn Together," says it plainly: the shoe was born a classic, and now it's just got someone new wearing it alongside you.

The colorway is Footwear White/Blue/Gum, with the upper keeping the Freestyle Hi's signature white, blue accents landing exactly where you'd expect, and a gum outsole finishing things off. No loud color-blocking, no extra graphics piled on—this is a shoe you'd recognize as the Freestyle Hi at first glance, just with Karol G's name attached alongside it.

Style number 100258947 will launch on July 31, 2026 via Reebok.com and select retailers, priced at $80. Dropping the same day is the Karol G x Reebok Club C 85 Vintage, priced at $85, with the two pairs forming part of the same collection.

So far, the only details available are the colorway and price—no word yet on box design, collab specifics, or whether additional colorways are on the way.
