I say tts. I find them pretty comfy, however just wore them for a few minutes around the house so far.

I find Classic Leathers to be a touch small (narrow toebox). Go a .5 up if you can.
 
And most of all the correct Pump system, not that generic midfoot system they put on everything. 
THIS!!!
Even if I wouldn't cop that if they did retro it, It SHOULD have the correct pump system. I love all the 25th Pumps with the FULL foot airbag. The Kami and Shaqnosis Pump were cool ideas and executed pretty well, but I just wasn't feeling the Pumps systems on either shoe. The bags seemed smaller than even what is used on the Omni Zone Pumps and my Twilight Zone Pump. Those systems were much better than Nike's. I love my Command Forces, and I even copped the Air Pressure (which is actually a very quality Nike release. Leather and all... trentbg trentbg even you would be proud lol). But all that said...the pump systems on those are all just very small ankle/achilles chambers. Hardly a "custom" fit when compared with what Reebok was able to do.

I have yet to find a pair of retro Pumps that work as well as the originals. Half of my 25th anniversary Pumps and my Shaqnosis Pumps don't work. I have Command Forces as well and they don't work. I thought about the Air Pressures but figured it would be the same old story. How do they fit by the way? TTS or small like the Command Forces?

Speaking of Pump systems, anyone thought about what the hell happened to the Blast Pump, it was suppose to be released in the mid December and now is almost February and no sign of them...

I have seen both instances. Each pair of my 25th Pumps (20 pairs) function. Some better than others but still functional. All my CF's also work great. Pressures as well. And they are TTS for sure. Toe box very comfy. Whereas I needed a half size up in CF's to eliminate those pinky toe feels.

trentbg trentbg good question on the Blast...

Dc30 - even if they had the correct Pump system would it have helped overall sales? I feel Reebok is 'pressured' (no pun intended) to cut manufacturing costs as their margins are really thin vs. that of their competitors.
 
So true, perfect example is the Fury Road, the original one was cheaper than the Fury, since there was no Graphlite implemented in it and now Reebok are releasing them on a higher prices than the Fury last year, the direction is put less technology and rise the prices for better profit margins. Same with other brands too, Li-Ning comes to mind sadly. 

Seems like only Nike can afford to release a proper retro models in the last 6 months, example the CW2/Sensation, CB34, Pippen 1.

Probably not in the least lol. But I guess sometimes I think about these things in a vacuum. The "ideal" situation, how I'd like to see things done properly to make it worth the consumers time. Nostalgia can be a great sales tool, if it actually is there.
