I don’t think it’s done. I think it’s still opportunities for sure. I just feel Reebok has to make the call if it’s worth bringing something back for the sake of doing it, or is it something markets and retailers will want and makes sense.
I will say Reebok has missed a lot of opportunities. So that hurts too. But there’s always hope. I just hope the brand moves more strategic.
In terms of the Answer 5 I wouldn’t say that all. I will say they cut some corners and some details were missed or modified. It’s an extremely pricy shoe to make with a ton of intricate details. Sure I think Reebok could have gotten closer but would you be willing to pay $220 for a 1:1 2001 retro? Probably not lol. So that’s the reality of retro product. Jordan is the only brand that can command those prices with OG spec. I think if you compare the A5 with any retro product at that price point it would probably get the nod. Aside from maybe a few Nike’s. I think for what’s it’s worth.... it’s a solid shoe.
