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

[vood99]

Blast & white/red Battlegrounds will be the limit for me from those options. The Attaq IVs are the only other consideration.

Do we know CWs for low Kamakazes (either 1s or 2s)?

Gonna be a slow summer for me too brother - got my Kami Is Black/White and it looks like the only thing worth grabbing is the Attaq IV and Blast a few months down the road. Will have to see the Blacktops in person as I might be too old to rock joints like those now.
**EDIT** Just saw picture of Cam rocking the Blacktops and I really need to see these in person now!

So guys it looks like the first colorways from the Battleground lll and the Boulevard lll are releasing on May the 9th. $125 is the Battleground, as we saw previously and $100 for the Boulevard.

I just want the black colorway.. Can't wait!

 

[trentbg]

I only want the two White based Battlegrounds, that white pump on the Black pair is not doing it for me, never liked it, even back in 94.

So, is it official that these are coming out next month and will it be at all retailers as well as reebok.com? I just want the black pair.

From what I have seen so far, its going to be a somewhat limited, since none of the major retailers like FNL, FTL, BeastBay will have it, at least is not on their release calendar. But Reebok.com, JJ, Villa and some of the smaller partners will have it.

That's definitely good to know! Thanks!

Look for them at Jimmy Jazz, Expressions, Shiekh, City Gear, Villa, DTLR, Reebok.com. That's the list I have.

The Battlegrounds on the left and the Boulevards on the right are TOTALLY in my sights. Both Boulevard CWs are nice though. I can live without black Battlegrounds (at the moment - but I'm prepared for that to change!).

I'm liking the black color way

Hmm, that White/Black BG III looks like a must cop - I'd have to wait for better colourways of the Boulevard III though.

So much for saving some cash until the Attaq IV. :\

Agreed - Reebok are trying to bankrupt me!

Lol, not as bad as the 'sneakerheads' and their daily/weekly Nike/JB retro drops. I can understand why those cornballs just resell endlessly - it is impossible to keep up with releases unless you have a very high disposable income.

Reebok drops are weeks/months apart and that's just perfect for me!

Vood - You are so right, but I am going to need a lot of control to stop myself trying to pick up those Carmine VIs and low Concord XIs!

I told you it going to be hard Passing on the Boulevard lll's they changed all the OG colorways and I hate this, unless the black pair goes down to $40.

Phil, hold an overpriced JB retro in one hand and your marked-down Reebok or Fila retro in the other. When you realize how much better value the lower priced sneaker offers it's so damn easy to pass on NSW/JB retro product.

My man trent, Reebok needs to send you free pairs or at least hire you as a consultant. I'll be passing on all those Boulevards unless they get marked down heavy seeing as they are all Retro+ colours.

 

[trentbg]

Well that would be great, It will be my dream job for sure and I can tell you that, I probably have more information and details on almost all 90's models, than 99% of their employees. If you look at my Monday articles over on the site, I am the only one to drop this kind of knowledge on the net  

Anyway, I know why they changed the Boulevard, the colorways were very similar to the Battleground (midsole/outsole were exactly the same) so they are trying to make them a bit different and appealing to other heads, otherwise only the Pump will be the difference for someone that is not familiar with the models. 

Quick story, you know that I am an OG when I carry this kind of a key chain for 20 years...

The Blacktop one I made using the Boulevard tongue leather back in 94 and the D-time logo is from the White/Blue pair from 93, this the pull tab.

These are going to sit...& get discounted like the Omni Pump Lites, I'll cop though

 

[trentbg]

The Omni Lite is being re-released too many times since 2007, that's why the last one sits, the Battleground lll was never retro-ed, so I am not sure if they gonna sit, especially if its somewhat limited release.

Do you know if these will have the OG black top key chain? Also, have you owned these back in the day, if so, are they comfortable?

 

[trentbg]

I don't think that Reebok will have the key chain this time wound, but I would love to see it on the pairs. As for the comfort, I had the Boulevard back in 94, that colorway from the picture above, and the comfort is strictly subjective IMO, back in the day, it seemed like it was mind blowing and out of this world, since I could only afford only one pair per year and more. Not sure how to explain it, before I had the chance to rock some nice kicks back in the old days I had to wear crap, wooden like midsole/ousole no named kicks, so when I finally got me a pair of Reebok's I thought I had a space technology on my feet! Now days is completely different, even the poorest kids can rock some cheep on discount Nike, Reebok, Adidas or whatever.

Sadly trent, the dreaded l-word might bring out the resellers. I really hope these can be acquired at MSRP as I have no intention of paying above retail

 

[trentbg]

Yes, I hope I can cop under retail with some Reebok.com coupon, but definitely not going to pay over retail, I see a lot of people are prepping to get the black pair, so I am hoping obtaining the white one will be easier.
