Official Reebok Blacktop & Battleground Pump Thread With Releases Dates And More...UPDATE BATTLEGROU

I actually made a post for these pacific shoes, but I guess they can take down mines.. I can't wait for the back pair. I also want the T-Shirt too! I love old school shoes from the 90's, especially, the early 90's.. So vintage!

trentbg trentbg Yeah the OG Concords had the clear ice blue tinted sole. The Columbia's had a true deep Carolina blue tinted clear sole. It wasn't until the 2000 retros that they changed it to the clear gum. And they did the Columbia retros a real disservice by messing with the soles. Ruined the whole balance and flow of the shoe. I may have a scan of the ad for the Concords from 96 where you can see the sole. I'll try to dig it up.

The reason all the Jordan heads are getting their jimmies rustled now is because the OG V's and VI's had a true clear sole and now Jordan is making everything ice blue, no matter what the model is.

peace,

Jordan heads should have their 'jimmies rustled' for the banana boat, steel toed, authentic fakes that are being sold to them at inflated prices. The blue tinted clear sole is a drop in the bucket compared to the other things.

Great thread. I'll be in on Blacktop retros, as I finally had to dispose of my OG Battleground 1s and 3s as the midsoles had turned to a gooey dust.

Here's hoping series 1 & 2 of the Blacktops get some love as well. Maybe 2015?
 
There are so many models other than the Battleground and Boulevard, if they decide to bring the whole line back it will be super dope.

So true. I have a pair at home that have a Nike Air Raid-esque strap. From memory, they were Blacktop G-Mac Strap, but the box is long gone, and I can't for the life of me find a pic online. I'll try to get one up this afternoon for some identification from you experts!
 
I would probably say no, you cant wear them. The model is so old, we are talking 20+ years, and if they were DS, they will definitely crack and crumble, if they were slightly worn, maybe they can be still in shape to wear.
 
I would second that. The midsole will turn to dust if you try to wear them. Well, to a rubbery dust that sticks to carpet! (Can you tell that I've been through this myself?)

Lovely shoes though. I am really looking forward to being back in the Blacktop game.

Any more up to date pics for the black colorway for the battle ground 3's? They are suppose to release on May 9th
 
That is the first catalog that came out, according to the new one, the white based colorways are coming in August, so I think the Black pair will be pushed back a few months from May, so probably July. 
 
I'm posting this in the Reebok pickups thread too (along with some others), but as I was cleaning out the collection, I came across these. From 1994/95 or so? Can't recall the name, although G-Mac Strap rings a vague bell.

Anyone with more info?
