these are most definitely one of the most comfiest midsoles I've ever tried on.
The Hexalite is INCREDIBLY soft and cushion-y.
Might just make you BOUNCE like Shawn Kemp lol

After wearing these today i must say :REEBOK IS BACK!!! The comfort of the shoe is amazing and the way they handled this release was the best way to get back on the map in this new digital age where attention spans are extremely short. I'm definitely anticipating the shaq attacks and the shaqnosis this year as well as my all time grail shoe from Reebok : The Answer 1. Nike better step their game up.

but then again, how much longer will it last? Reebok has only so many classics...their new models are straight garbage and unappealing

THIS. I couldn't agree more with this comment - the black/red colorway ABSOLUTELY should've been the one to be chosen in a hyperstrike. The only reason the OG colorway was chosen in the end to me is Reebok 1) did not bother to do any market research or 2) flat out wasn't sure about their retro strategy, especially related to release/sales forecast.
After all, Rbk did hold back on the original Kamikaze (which imo is a much more attractive shoe and much more sought after) so that in itself sends plenty of signal about their uncertainty on their own retro strategy.
At the same time, I must admit this "unforeseen" success isn't so counter-intuitive - when your run-of-the-mill Jordan retros (3's 13's 5's or 1's for example) cost $165~185, a pair of $100 decent-looking Reebok retros suddenly look pretty darn attractive.
On top of that, when you can get them at a discount with free taxes/shipping, there's now room to make a quick buck. If it doesn't work out, all you have to do is pay a $10 penalty (and in Rbk.com's case, FREE) to ship them back and recoup that minimal loss in the next limited release.
Inevitably I'm suspecting Rbk will re-release them in the longer time frame although the smart thing to do is to have a 2nd release of this OG colorway. There are only so few models in Rbk's history that may sell in the retro market to be honest - any of the Answers is going to be extremely volatile, as are the Questions. TBD on the Shaqnosis, they've probably got all they could out of the pumps ( w/ Nique and Dee Brown's) so Shawn Kemp's Kamikaze 1 & 2s really ARE somewhat of a silver bullet for Rbk imo.
This means it really was a suboptimal decision if they really are going with just this 1 run for the OG colorway. Now people are just gonna use this "pant-up" momentum and scoop up the black/red colorway with maybe some residual sales going the way of black/white and white/navy (ASGs) and let other GRs sit until they find their home in TJMaxx's across the country.
Not quite sure this is how Rbk would like people to remember about this release nor am I sure this is how they want to make $$$ because they would've learned nothing they don't already know and they have just left a bunch of $$$ on the table...

I think the lack of stores carrying these has more to do with the stores and less to do with reebok. If you go watch his sneaker watch videos he talks about it and says people need to go to these retailers and let them know there's a demand.

funny story
Me and my boy from Seattle went to Major in DC to cop these and they had a few pair left. Im a 9.5 and he is a 10.5 and he got the last 10.5. So as we are chillin and talkin to the employees in walks in Trinidad James and he goes right for the kamikazes. The employee asks him what size he needs and he says a 10.5. My boy has the last 10.5 LOL...so they tell James that hes out of luck unless my boy doesnt buy them. As i said my friend jsut moved to DC from seattle and there was no way in hell he was giving them up. So we both walked out of there happy as hell while Trinidad James was cussing under his breath haha. But he was cool tho we took some pics with him
