Those Fury's look pretty nice, as do those Blue/grey Omnizones
Slightly off topic, but I've had this pic saved for a while and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on them?
It doesn't look like they're from the 2004 batch as they don't have the little tag on the side, so I'm thinking they must be scrapped samples from the 20th Anniversary run.
I mean DJ probably has them in his closet somewhere-Shame they never got released though, good CW imo.

Thanks for dropping the facts. Nike can get away with retooling and butchering their classics but Reebok can't mess around. Their re-imagining of the Kamikazes, Blasts and Preachers are pretty neat though. Well priced and very comfortable.Originally Posted by DeadStock Js
^^^I hear this a lot with people complaining about Reebok and why they dont bring back the Shaq's, Kemp Kamikaze, and the Emmit Smith Pre-Seasons. There are 2 reasons for this, the first being that they dont have the molds for any more of these original models and in order to make the molds it cost over $100K to do so, and they have to make a crazy amount of the shoes in order to get the order placed, something like 50,000 pairs. If they brought back the Shaq's they dont want to make that many, they want them to be limited. The Second reason is all those guys had contracts where if these shoes ever got made again they would have to be compensated for that, mainly for the fact that it was their signature shoe and for instance Shaq had his logo on the shoe, not quite sure if Kemp and Emmit had logos.
With the case of Nike doing limited shoes its easier because the molds already exist so they do not have to put the initial investment in for the mold, and if they do decide to do it any way they just take a hit on that shoe and make that money up somewhere else.
