Off topic but since you brought up "bringback", which is a term I dislike, I was watching some YT vids and came across ShoeZeum doing an Air Command Force vid and mentioned Reeboks and bringback s. IMO that guy is a tool and his video was grating on my nerves, but he did have a few well preserved pairs of OG Pumps and ACF's.

I can't remember the last time I was this anxious to wear shoes I had just purchased. Wanted to wear them out the store and I've never done that before.

Jordan Gellar has a huge Nike/JB knowledge, I have to respect that and that is what I always focus on, regardless of a personal opinions. I didnt check that video, but now that you are mentioning Reebok in it, I might have a look

Look good. I may have to check my outlet

Reebok was into some interesting designs visually in the 90s

I am going to wait for the Shroud to really drop down, never been a huge fan of the model and I am sure the execution of this retro is not going to be anything special. To be honest the only model that I am getting really excited about is the Ventilator Supreme, on a side note, looks like they might have scrapped the Battleground ll after all, some samples popped on ebay.

@trentbg - That is horrible if true about the BGII. I was very much looking forward to those.

In non-Reebok news, I am struggling to find the Converse you were wondering about. I came across the Acropolis (a model I used to love), the Voltage and the All-Star Incoming which vaguely seemed to fit the description you gave. I went through from SLAM 1 in '94 to around '99. I may well have missed it as I didn't check all the ads, mainly the "Kicks" section.

And for anyone near an outlet, I'll echo my plea from the Big Hurt thread - if anyone can grab me the whites in a 12 and mail them to Australia, please PM me. I am super keen, as we received the black/whites (which I love wearing) but not the white/blacks here.

That matches your description very well! And isn't any of the ones I mentioned. This pick gives me a solid chance of finding them when I next look!

I'm a fan too Trent. That's Glen Rice soaring through the air (although the picture is sideways!).

The top picture (Tavorris Bell) is apparently the Reebok Gargoyle. And I can find nothing else out about them. The almost look like a forerunner to the Rail.

@Trentbg that Jordan Geller is a ***. A Nike brown noser. People love certain brands, which is no problem but to be a obsessed psycho? No. He doesn't even wear his shoes, which makes it worse. He put together a "Shoezium" and it's all Nikes. No REAL shoe history without being bias

This!

You can like a brand...no issue there, but in that Air Command video he flat out dumps on Reebok WHILE talking about Pumps. Like it or not Reebok CLEARLY won the pump battle in the 90's, but to sit there and call Reebok a joke in that manner is an insult to the true competition those 2 companies had in those days and to the quality shoes reebok continues to churn out. You always have to respect the history if you like it or not.

Hey guys, need your advice. If I have very narrow feet and prefer snug fit, and I wear 8.5 in Nikes and 8 in NBs/Sauconys, do you reckon I should get a 7.5 in the EB Street Meats? Or would that be way too short for me?
