Neo's (Keanu Reeves) complete costume from The Wachowskis' sci-fi action sequel The Matrix Reloaded. "The One" wore his costume in scenes set within the simulated Matrix universe as he embarked on a quest to save the human race from extinction. Neo sported the same costume in the next installment, The Matrix Revolutions.

One of the main factors costume designer Kym Barrett had to take into consideration was the practicality of the outfits and how they would withstand the complex stunt sequences. Several versions of Neo's costume were produced, using different fabrics suitable for the action during particular scenes, from straightforward conversation to flying and fist-fighting with Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) in the storm-ridden City.

The black costume consists of a pair of micro sunglasses featuring green-tinted lenses; a full-length ecclesiastical-style textured woollen coat (labelled "Keanu Reeves., #1 Hero Coat-Matt Wool"); a cotton shirt which displays a mandarin collar (labelled "Neo"); a set of cufflinks; a Zimmerli T-shirt (labelled "KR" and size M); a pair of Trafalgar elasticated braces; a pair of trousers (labelled "KR 32"); and a pair of Andre #1 patent lace-up boots with Kevlar heels (labelled "KR*").

Covered buttons run down the front of the coat and four popper fastenings are adhered inside the collar, with pleat detailing adorning the coat's rear. Intentional slits have been created underneath the sleeves to allow a harness and wires to be attached to Reeves.

The costume is displayed on a custom-made mannequin mounted to a glass base, with a metal rod entering the heel of the right boot. Minor wear from production use includes make-up remnants on the inside of the coat collar and light scratches on the shoes, while some stitching has become loose within the coat. The costume is accompanied by a Warner Bros. certificate of authenticity and two production wardrobe tags stating that it was used for "Change #2".
