At the mercy of host Sean Evans, Hot Ones guests are put through the ringer as they answer question after question under the pressure of wings that become increasingly spicier as the interview progresses. From Comedy Central icons like Nathan Fielder to big screen talents like Will Ferrell, the First We Feast series has become a world-renowned enterprise that is powerful enough in brand significance to warrant its very own Reebok collaboration. And, appropriately, the three forthcoming offerings mirror the show’s premise as the Club C, Classic Leather, and Shaqnosis indulge in mild, medium, and hot sauces respectively.

To start, the two are warming up the palate with the “Mild” Club C, a take that primarily iterates on the silhouette’s clean white colorway. Light tan shades work their way in adjacent, though, as both the midsole and suede heel tab display. A subtle yellow stitch then accents the trim as well as the second lace option, while bright, fiery reds are adorned atop the profile’s branded window as well as the tongue’s Scoville meter.

The latter two details are also included atop the Classic Leather, but though they may seem identical, the bar signifies a jump in heat — “Medium” to be specific. These themes extend well into the surrounding colorway as both the suede and mesh construction are cooked further to a crisp brown. Leather counters, linings, and trims follow suit, creating a neutral foundation for the Vector’s colored lines and the outsole’s chicken wing graphic.

To finish on a high, the “HOT” Shaqnosis bears an almost fully blackened upper. Its arced decals and lining are where the cosmetic treatments rest as they collectively gradate upwards from a more calming green to a bright, saturated red.

Grab a detailed look at the capsule below and expect to find each pair as well as a small selection of apparel on Reebok.com come November 19th.
