OFFICIAL REEBOK Answer III Thread

Anyone have a RD for this sneaker?

BBall season is about to start (in a few weeks) and there's little to no information on what Reebok has planned from now till December.

Nope, no news, The only one that is being pushed is the Shroud.

Absolutely ridiculous my man - the Shroud is predestined to hit clearance at $39.99. There is ZERO appeal/demand for that shoe.

trentbg · Oct 1, 2014

Yep, I have to agree.

It's safe to say these were scrapped along with some other retro releases (BG III) for '15. Disappointing but we'll get 100+ colours of the Question, Ventilators and Pump hybrids instead! :rolleyes

Smh. Was lookin forward to these III's. The most comfortable Answer imo

trentbg · Jul 8, 2015

I am going to agree, the Answer lll was probably cut off the production, just like the Battleground ll and the Swingman, but who knows they might surprise us in a few months.

Just came across this http://*************.com/Sneakers/Release-Dates/reebok-answer-3-black-white-gold/

Saw this same info @BenTrlll, now way they cut production on a classic like this.

I'm a classic man ...

vood99 · Jul 9, 2015

It's safe to say that all of us in the respective Reebok threads are Classics fans. I also hope I'm wrong and we do indeed get the Answer III retro - the Black/White pair is a must have in any sneaker collection.

The article posted at SC does not have any concrete dates though and it references an article that was posted in Feb '15. We first heard rumblings about a retro in 2014 and we're halfway through '15 with no solid information.

Sole Collector has these releasing in Aug 2015

mvplikekobe24 · Jul 15, 2015

I hope so. Will scoop both of those

trentbg · Jul 15, 2015

Sole Collector are not always right, especially when its not JB/Nike, but we shall see.

just chatted with an "expect" on the Reebok site.....he didn't know anything about them.... it's beyond belief that these shoe companies spend millions on marketing and can't spend a dime on keeping their customer service reps in the loop. it's like everyone has a bag of money sitting around waiting to be used only on their shoes. a heads up would be nice and maybe i'd hold off buying something else if i knew for sure these were coming.

trentbg · Jul 15, 2015

Well in the Reebok case, they spent about... $8,99 on Marketing.

My dude, Reebok spends absolutely nothing on marking their non-Crossfit product. If these were really coming out on August 15, we could've received at least some pictures or information by now as production would have had to have started.

a quick google to get some perspective....

"The Adidas-owned brand {Reebok} has slashed its ad budget in recent years. In total, it spent $21.7 million on U.S. measured-media in 2013, down from $75.2 million in 2010, according to Kantar Media."

"Nike's $2.7 billion annual marketing budget carries massive cultural influence."
