That new Iverson shoe really isn't bad looking, don't know how these are worse than some of the other modern "fusion/hybrid" sneakers out now. Infact, Nike and Jordan mainly sell plastic covered shoes with micro thin rubber soles to which they try to use as a "technical advance" because it makes them light weight 
Not the case with these Answer XIV's. The traction on them looks good and that DMX foam midsole is decent if not more comfy than Adidas' signature models which are known to have hard cushioning.
It's cool if you dislike Reeboks' new designs but at least give them credit for bringing out new models, they have to pump out new ones because you can't live off retros forever (JB/nike has that market on lock). They have to come up with next batch of shoes future generations can refer to as "classics".

@trentbg well apparently there is a foreign buyer for Reebok from Adidas so Maybe this move might make them better and realize they need to focus more on classics rather than just crossfit and retro shoes the same way they were originally rather than do what nike is doing and always changing something on the retro. Or it could backfire and they could stop retroing shoes all together.

Yeah we were discussing it earlier, but I have mixed feelings, we will wait and see what would the the outcome be after all that.

Does anybody know if there are plans to retro the OG Pump aside from all the shop collabs?

They feel cheap like not even good synthetics real leather and suede would've done wonders for these

They were never made with genuine leather, so IMO this retro is one of the most accurate ones.

That's something I wasn't aware of, of all the Reebok's I own questions, es22, kazi2 I feel these are the worst material wise comfort wise as well at the bottom of the foot, color ankle comfort is on point and they fire on feet

The cushioning needs to broken in. I replied to your other post in the office 'Blast' thread and I stated it in my review too. The initial feel is not that great, but the cushioning (once broken in) is fantastic - overall better than the Kami II. The sockliner and ankle padding are excellent as well.

Blast are amazing specially for the price I paid, I do agree that the toe area material is not that great but overall I'm satisfied with the quality. Can't wait to hoop in them!

My latest pickups. The Sir Jam 360, Omni Zone “Hornets”, and the Zigtech Big and Fast in a Sprite c'way. Will be rocking the Sir Jams or the Pumpkin Omni lites for Halloween. Haven't decided yet LOL.

You should be ok unless you have wide feet. This model is a little bit more narrow to me.
