In the ever-evolving world of fashion, few brands have captured the essence of contemporary streetwear quite like Represent. With their dedication to quality craftsmanship, and innovative designs, Represent has solidified its place among the most influential players in the industry. Ahead of our limited-edition Bully release on July 24th, we explore the history and evolution of four Represent sneaker models: the Reptor, Bully, Terrier, and Viper.
The Represent Alpha Low
The Alpha was the first shoe developed and released by Represent. After numerous iterations in the production process, they were finally released in 2015 with high and low top silhouettes.
Over the years, the Alpha Low has dropped in multiple colourways, and various fabrics including leather, suede and canvas. It is the longest-running shoe in production at Represent, still being available on-site today.
The Represent Reptor Low
The second addition to the Represent sneaker lineup, the Reptor, introduced a new dimension to the brand’s offerings, setting the stage for what was to come.
With its sleek silhouette and futuristic aesthetic, the Reptor made an immediate impact. Its name derives from the reptilian inspiration behind its design, characterized by textured details resembling reptile scales. The shoe featured premium materials, including a combination of leather and suede, ensuring both style and durability.
The Represent Viper
Following the success of the Reptor, Represent unveiled the Viper, the brand’s first technical fashion-focused sneaker.
Featuring a streamlined silhouette with sharp lines and dynamic panelling, its upper is constructed using a combination of premium materials, including leather and mesh, providing a perfect balance of luxury and breathability. The Viper’s striking design, which includes embroidered fang detailing, has solidified its place as a standout piece within the Represent collection.
The Represent Terrier
Released in 2019 having spent 18 months in development the Terrier focused on versatility by embracing a utilitarian aesthetic.
Its design drew inspiration from outdoor footwear, featuring robust materials such as durable canvas, sturdy leather overlays, and rugged rubber outsoles. The Terrier was built to withstand the elements, making it a favourite among those seeking both style and functionality.
The Represent Bully
The Bully is the latest addition to the Represent sneaker family. With its bold, chunky silhouette, rubber sole, and extra thick laces, the Bully is a retro skate-inspired sneaker. Represent’s designers utilized premium leather for the upper, providing a luxurious feel, while the exaggerated outsole ensured both comfort and stability.
