Pop culture gives us a chance to objectively look back at the past, sifting for gold and ditching the detritus. This week, you’ll have not one but two chances to remember the glory of the ’80s (while conveniently forgetting the poofy shoulder pads, big hair, and inescapable pleather). On Friday, June 29, Netflix is dropping the much-anticipated second season of Glow. In solidarity and support, Reebok are launching a line of soft neon high-tops, working alongside the actors to create something that the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling would actually wear.

Britt Barron, who plays Justine on the series, tweeted about the collaboration on Monday.

Reebok themselves describe the sneakers as “wrestling up classic 80’s style with some modern attitude.” The sneakers come in rose gold and white/neon variants. The rose gold are a little underwhelming, but the white pastel neon kicks are simply to die for!

NOTE: these are meant for the ladies, but a quick browse through the men’s section of shoes on Reebok’s website reveals the rather boring, monochrome-d affair you’d expect. For the men unafraid of a bit of color or expressing themselves, we encourage ordering a size 1.5 larger than your men’s shoe size and rock that shizz!

The Freestyle Hi x Glow is the latest in the fiendishly on-point Freestyle Hi line of sneakers by Reebok, which are doing so much to kick the ’80s fashion revival into high gear (pun fairly intended.)

So pick up a pair in anticipation of Glow Season 2, dropping this weekend on Netflix for maximal bingeability, for your marathon watch parties or for starting your own amateur wrestling league. These will go great with much more than just leg warmers and side pony tails.

For the xennials out there, these kicks will bring to mind the black-and-white striped thrills of shopping at Foot Locker, begging your mom for the latest Pumps (also by Reebok, coincidentally enough) or Air Jordans if you were rich.

You don’t have to have been born during the Reagan era to still appreciate these stylish sneakers. Actually, you’re probably better off if you weren’t, as these sneakers are by-and-far much more stylish than anything we had access to in the days before Super Mario Brothers 3.
