***New Reebok Pick-Ups, Release Info, etc.***

with the release of the blue toe questions I somewhat understand why they changed the color of the sole on the es22 because the 2 shoes look so similar and the releases are so close together
 
ES22

Florida Gators
700

Just pre-ordered my E22's for $140 shipped at Packers. At first I thought this was another model I had years ago but then realized it wasn't.
The packards model does not have any orange in it and ships on 12-15. Also they sent me a free shipping code due to the mess up with the Questions. :D

I also noticed the new red/wht answers are also avail for pre-order.

those gum soles look horrible on the ES22s.

I have to agree with this. They ran the blue tinted soles on the Blue/Red toe Questions so why not do the same for the ES'?

Edit: Just saw that the OGs soles turned 'piss' yellow after a while. Maybe they misinterpreted this as a 'gum' sole?

Yeah I think they did it to give it a "vintage" look. They did the same thing with the Answer retros a few years ago except the Answers were a translucent gum color. These ES22s look funny to me because its a solid gum colored outsole.

This one confuses me too my man. Some of the OG Reebok heads here had stated that they don't have the original molds so they actually buy or get people to send in their OGs to be taken apart. As you suggested they should've at least put a translucent gum sole - the solid gum throws the shoe off. Not a good look and I doubt it's vintage - they would've yellowed the midsole.
 
I still say its because the blue toe questions just dropped

I think they felt it looked to similar to release them with the clear sole with the releases so close
 
anyone know when the shaq attaq's will be releasing? also are they doing both colorways or just the whites???
reebok will be the gold slandered for 2013 if those attaq's retro!!!!!

LET US PRAY!
 
I scored a pair of affili art pumps at my
Local sneaker boutique for 40$..... Retail is 140$

Nah brother, in general White/Blue, White/Red kicks are good sellers. Also these are two very different shoes, one's basketball and the other's a trainer. Lastly the ES22 is being retro-ed after years while Questions have been dropped intermittently over the years - however this year's reissues are (IMHO) one of the better ones.

Real shame re: the ES22, I would've dropped retail on but it comes across as a retro+ now - will try to pick up for $90 and under...

yeah, I feel all that and I didn't say it made sense

and yes they're trainers but reebok is riding a new exclusive wave with swizz and ross

the questions never in life sold out at retail price before now and these es22s look super identical especially to these finicky new reebok lovers
 
I wish the es 22sit a lil bit..... I dont see em flying of the shelves but then again iversons did so....
 
Lol outlet bound even if it starts at 100

probably will hit outlets ... Been waiting for this retro for quite some time. I was 16 when they came out in the 90's and owned a pair as well. I really wish they had kept the original cowboy colorway the same with the clear sole also. I too will be scooping up on disco from friends and or at outlets.

The gum sole makes these a retro+ - not worthy of a $140 price tag.
