Totally agree. They did this with the Questions as well as I saw all the different colors I didn't want in plentiful supply but had to search far and wide for the white and blue ones. Then by chance stopped in a Reebok outlet months later and grabbed a pair for myself and my wife for $80 total. These were something I gladly would have paid retail for. It doesn't help that when I went asking around in foot lockers for these shoes I had a young girl ask me and I quote "is that a new type of Jordan or something?" Jordan retros survived mainly because when they first started doing it people were being frauds acting like they paid OG prices flossing. Now it's so crazy over there you have to pay sometimes double or triple retail to pick up something. Just having a hard to get release gives you credit with the Hypebeasts. Reebok is really in need of a marquee player to sign with them that they can give a great designed pair of kicks to rebuild and reintroduce the Reebok name. They went the music route with Ross and Swizz and while it helped use that momentum to pull some ballers. I myself only knew that Shaqs retro'd because I saw Gerald Green rocking them. It made me interested in doing to research to see when they were going to drop.
They did this all backwards they made the OG Shaq Attaq limited and the new colorways were not. It should have been the other way around. The same happen with the Kamikaze 2 OG ''Sonics'' colorway. From their part it was a dumb move to pull, both of these kicks in their OG colorways are historical cause the players actually played in these colorways they did not wear the new ones they made. I'm not saying that i don't like some new colorways they did cause i do but there's nothing like having a real piece of history on your feet. You only could get that feeling with the actual OG colorways.
