So Extra Butter is now a Certified Network Boutique and has taken Concepts place. Apparently Concepts was not happy with the quality of their Pump 25 collab and refused to sell their own collab at their boutique so moving forward there will be no more Concepts x Reebok Collabs. Its too bad too cuz concepts always comes correct. Their Fury Collab was amazing. By the looks of this upcoming release tho EB may be able to soften the blow with their clever concepts.
 
I will be passing on all of the Ventilator collabs for sure, I think the Ventilator is played out by now, they keep re-releasing it for years and even mega fanboys like me a fed up, I need other models to be released, Reebok literally have hundreds that are just waiting to receive a retro treatment and I will buy them for sure, example Ventilator Supreme, luckily they will probably release the first generation some time this year. 
 
They are definitely bringing the supreme back. Already seem some of the samples and they definitely on point. Garbstore is also doing their thing with the Supreme this year giving it their insideout treatment.

Good to hear that, finally something different, they should bring all the Supreme models back, they were epic back in the day, hell all of the models were epic, but they chose to overkill with only a few.

I have to take Concepts side on this one. There were definitely some quality issues with the 25th Anniversary Bringbacks. Don't get me wrong, Reebok still has a very good quality product, but not so much when you compare them to previous Bringbacks. Some of the collabs had the correct pump ball, but most of the black and white OG pairs had this crappy pancake of a pump. I posted a couple of pages back about some OG's that had two different pump balls on the same pair. I got another pair where the tubing to the release valve was kinked in 2 places, I live in New England, now I don't have any way to deflate the ball! If anyone has 15th or 20th anniversary pumps to compare they would agree these were not up to par. The materials were still excellent, but I swear Reebok manufactures right shoes at one factory and left shoes at another cause most of my pairs didn't match well.

A lot of the pumps had pump valves that didnt work. Last years pump 25 releases were a cluster**** and all messed up my pump unit on my 2004 pair work so much better than these new ones. A lot of the ones i received didnt have working units. The materials were on point but otherwise it was a failure. Some boutiques got pairs b4 the actual collaborating store and were selling it b4 the release date. Not sure why reebok sent pairs out months early. The lauches were all messed up. Price was really high as well and most stores have stock on them still at 40-50% off. Solebox had their pairs messed up as well as the insoles were not correct. Therefore they requested all pairs be sent back and fixed. The only place with the solebox collab was solebox and somehow hanon received a batch and sold them with the incorrect soles. Hopefully this years Ventilator releases are much smoother and also next years question collabs

Ahhhhh that's unfortunate! I was looking forward to see what CNCPTS would do with the Ventilator. Hoping EB fills in nicely.
 
^Lol, which commercial or advertisement it is not? You just found the ultimate truth about the world, congratulations. Now let focus on the kicks, shall we?

Yep, I am stuck with a 25th OG pair that has one shoe with a non-functioning pump. For Gods sake, Dunkin Donuts sells lots of stuff but they still get their donuts right! It's ironic that some of my original pairs from the early 90's work far better than many retros, and the retros are supposed to celebrate the pump technology.

I know collabs have their place now, but I also wish Reebok would just release all original colorways of the OG pair when they do an anniversary release. All they have to do is match the 2004 pair and they will have a winner. Interesting about Solebox, I was wondering why I didn't see any for a while and they only showed up in a few places.
 
I am completely behind that too, I want all the OG colorways first, than they can release 25 or whatever they want collaborations for the people that care about them.

I like the collaboration, but I feel like most won't get the concept that aren't from NY/NJ.
