Original Reebok Blast (Van Exel Signature)

TTS - or same as the Kami II, Shaq Attaqs, etc.. if you have a pair already.
 
Are we even going to talk about Reebok's persistently poor efforts at "retro+" CWs? I know some people may like them, but I just can't buy in...
they actually did a good job with the kazi2, a smart and safe idea for the blast would be lakers purp/yellow in the style of the black and white, I mean they worked for the kobe 7

 as for that croc/safari up there they should've done croc on one side and snake on the other, so much potential in reeboks classics shoes and only 2 shoes have lived up to it

I love the design and cw, the subtle use of red, but man these materials are horrible glad I picked up cheap

Felt the same way in my earlier review. The Durabuck/Nubuck ain't half bad, but they must've borrowed some Nike/JB pleather (plastic leather) for the white parts.

Thanks for the review, I' rarely go to NT nowadays and I'm so glad I saw the Reebok post with the coupon code. Just got my Blast right now from the mail and put it on right away. First impression is wow! I don't need any breaking in with these! The Cushioning is great and the padding is great too. I do agree that the toe are leather seems cheap since mine came in with precreasing but i am not complaining for how much I paid for, besides I'm planning to use these as my primary hoopin' shoes. The thing that surprised me is the width, I have wide feet and these felt great, better fit that my kamikaze1, 2 and shaq attaqs as comparison.

Glad my review was of use to you. Shoe is definitely great value if you can get it with some discount.
 
I finally got to hoop in these last night for about 2 hours indoors. I'd probably give it a 7/10 rating mainly because of three issues I had namely the fit, breathability and ankle support. Fit: my foot kept moving around the shoe when making quick stops/cuts and shoes felt like coming off when sprinting down the court no matter how tight i tie them up. Secondly, the shoe has no breathability whatsoever, no need to elaborate on it. Lastly, my main issue is the ankle support, every time i made quick stops /change of direction specially on lateral movement i felt like i was going to roll my ankle. I would still keep them in my rotation but I prefer a more lockdown shoe to hoop in.
 
New Colorway: Reebok The Blast ''Winter Brights''

I love the OG colorways of course, but this is actually a pretty good new colorway for the Blast it looks real clean and this is coming from someone whos not on board with all the new colorways but this one I can dig it!
 
The retro+ colourway isn't half bad - hopefully the general consumer can give it a second look to match with some Hornet's gear.
