Extremely disappointed like you my man. It looks like Reebok has reached into the Nike NSW vault for the really cheap, low quality pleather.
I pray that they don't run the same doo doo leather on the Kamikazes and Shaqs.

Looks like the grey/blacks are confirmed but IDK the deal with the grey/white
Is this a OG colorway?

Don't know why I thought the OG's had a gum sole, until I googled and saw they we're clear. They do look better clear, but I will stop cop the blk/blue later down the road, too much other "priorities" to cop right now lol

personally very relieved that the es22s are sitting i might stroll into FL and make 'em an offer for 2 at a big discount, something tells me i can make it happen. i still want the navy and gator ones (although I'll have to see these in person cuz the gum on these def looks like it could be off, I do think it meshes well with the blue ones. i just don't understand why they release 4 cws at once, even if they were in demand there's no way to make that work... it's not THAT hard to space out your releases is it? I dunno the 4 cw release makes no sense to me, sounds like they got Emmitt to pay for it and they're just letting him take the hit on a one-off attempt at this retro

Nixon, a couple of us have discussed this before but Reebok knows absolutely nothing about marketing. You're right - ES22 doesn't have a cult following so they should've spaced out the releases and focused on retroing them correctly and with good materials. The Black/Gum model looks like a low quality, NSW retro - maybe someone can try a sole swap with the Grey/Blue pair and put the Blue sole on the Black and Blue pairs.

Thanks bro. I'm almost 30 and I find Swizz Beatz corny - how do the younger cats feel about him? The MMG signing is non-sensical too (similar to the Jay-Z/S.Carter line) as they are wearing Nike/JB branded product most of the time. The right thing to do would be to give out freebies and get some free promotion, but that's too obvious for Reebok.
The 'Red Toe' Question retro was a coming-of-sorts for Reebok as most would agree that it is a well done replica. Some others are saying that the 'Blue Toes' aren't as nice as their 'Red Toes' and these ES22s are a travesty. Nike can slap a Swoosh on a turd and catch no flak for it, but Reebok's image has been junk for the past decade. They should be making a come back on higher quality, median priced product instead they've opted to go the lower quality, high priced route like Nike but they don't even have a quarter of Nike's clout. Oh well...

I'm not sure what to do with Reebok. I feel like Adidas may not want that brand to get too heavy in the higher priced market. It feels weird that the es22s started at 140 I was assuming 110-120 as that's one typical consistent trait is a more generous price point. My blue toes did not blow me away the way the Red Toes I've seen in person do. I'm still a big fan, and I love the tumbled leather on my answer IVs probably even more, might still try and track down a cheap backup pair cuz that Tyron Lue moment is just mmm magnifique. But yah I've thought about writing a letter with some design ideas for reebok.
I think the es22 would make for a great "muppet" series, who's with me? felt like uppers colormatched to the different muppets. haha i'm half joking. i think it would be sweet
oh well not right now but in a month or two if they're still there.
I never paid retail for a pair of sneakers that weren't 'big demand' as a kid growing up, dad taught me how to negotiate. If you think they're sittin on a lot of stock... I'd bet in 1 trip to the mall I could talk a mgr into selling me 2 prs + 2 packs of socks for $200+tax... I mean the store is paying like $65-75 for these and they'd rather make a few backs then have to pack them back up and ship them out and just have the wholesale cost deducted from their bill.
You'd be amazed what you can negotiate for when you try.

Reebok mind as well close shop after the Shaq and Kemp retros, they don't even have the NFL contract anymore.

Nixon & Destroyer - in some bizarre sense, I really wish that Nike had purchased Reebok instead of Adidas. Yeah, we'd see hybrids, fusions and a bunch of crap but at least we could get a few diamonds amongst all the dirt.
