I had a buddy of mine purchase with his employee disco so these are getting shipped here. Arrive Wed but I would do the swap.you gonna do a lace swap? need actual pics before pulling the trigger
lol @ the preacher... No way i see them bringing these back as the bulkier retros are REALLY slow at retail100% spot on - how much better can these new materials be with a $25 price increase. I'd replace my pair if this re-issue had the 'Kemp' or even 'Kamikaze' (as NK suggested) on the eyelet.LOL better materials, please...are they trying to pull the remastered card, come on its so lame. Regardless, they still going to sale, thats how hype works.
@rodrigofresh - so apart from flooding the market with Kami IIs are there any plans to bring back the Preacher?

Why the 'lol' comment though? The White OG & Black OG colourways will definitely sell out - they can drop them in 'limited' quantities if necessary to generate hype.
You clearly have some pull with Reebok corporate so why not suggest the Preacher? It will also more or less conclude the true retro replacement of the those lackluster 'Reethym of Life' sneakers (Kamikaze, Blast & Sermon).
Those pseudo-retros were truly horrible. I'm glad that Reebok seem to have some to their senses in that regard.
Dropping something in limited quantities doesn't necessarily generate revenue unless you plan on dropping a commercial color to the masses.... If the ES22 didnt sell well, and other Reebok Retro models are slow... i wouldnt plan on seeing a resurgence of new Retros until the next Retro trend starts, that could be 10 years away.Why the 'lol' comment though?

Wasn't sure which thread this belonged in, but man, those Kamikaze Pumps are so confusing to me. Such a waste of time and money when they've got a number of surefire hits still stashed in the vaults. Seriously, did they really think someone out there was clamoring to see those two models fused together? Same goes for the Questions. Just poor.

Such as? They've released all the good stuff, I like Preachers but they're not gonna sell.Such a waste of time and money when they've got a number of surefire hits still stashed in the vaults.
^Agree trentbg . Plus you never know what models people like. I like a lot of Reeboks but I'm not a Preacher fan. I'll take multiples of the Verticals, which I know won't release, let alone sell out even if they did.

This is true. When you're talking retro models of a non-hypebeast brand like Reebok, it's very hard to tell what will sell. This is why they stick to things that they've had success with already (Questions, Classic Leathers, etc.), and things we thought were coming (the other iteration of Blacktops for example and the Swingman) seem to disappear.

It is such a damn shame how Nike/JB get a free pass to produce some of the lowest quality, variant like garbage with zero repercussions from the average sneaker consumer while decent Reebok retro product languishes.
Maybe I come from a different era, but does quality not matter anymore?
