The Hybrid Sneaker We Didn't Know We Needed

[@anthonygarrett2737]

I know Reebok isn't viewed as popular as Nike, Adidas and even New Balance but I and others still appreciate the brand's catalog. These hybrids are great looking and QUALITY. Thanks for reviewing some of their releases because you can tell you remember and appreciate the catalog like us fellow 90's kids.

[@RyanBalmesYT]

👌👌👌

[@ronnieblea4422]

It’s crazy because they should be. They were right up there with Nike in the 90s

[@elduderino4579]

@@ronnieblea4422 hell yeah they were! Every kid either had Nike Airs, Cons React or Reebok Pumps.

[@legimlugero]

Actually there was a time in the 90's that they were more popular than Nike then they just fell off. I was a more of a Jordan, Nike guy but when some of the guys i was playing ball with bringing out their Omni Zone Pumps, the ERS cross trainers, Kazes, Shaq''s they break necks!

[@the_gravy_jones]

Lately, I've only been wearing Reebok..Hopefully they don't get much more popular - I'll have to find something else to wear.

[@dukestarfighter]

Reebok is really killing it with their retros in terms of quality. Just wish their tech was up to snuff, it would really make their stuff stand above everything else. Thanks for making this one and including the other models, Reebok needs that love!

[@yoshowtimetv]

Loved that you covered this collab. I was on the fence on getting them, but this video convinced me. The materials, hybrid tooling and the collab is amazing. Thank you for covering sneakers like these.

[@WearTesters]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrespena5944]

Copped for $99 on Foot Locker. I think they still got the sale going on!

[@ArdenSoriano]

I hope this isn’t the end of WearTesters reviewing Reebok. I love watching Chris review the retros and giving his opinion, since he’s seen them originally release or at least remembers the era. I’m a big Reebok fan and hope they make a big return to basketball soon with better tech (which I think I saw, I believe I saw them put job listings for basketball designers and weartesters). Would love to see reviews from the WearTesters team if they do. Keep up the good work!

[@noesaucedo422]

Your Reebok videos is the reason why I subscribed to the channel. I love that Reebok gives you your money’s worth with the materials they use, even if they cut back on the tech 😭 Keep it up 👍

[@russellgray1917]

Dope video, It seems like Reebok is slowly opening up their catalog, and starting to retro a few shoes. Cool, I look forward to seeing more from them. They produced some great shoes back in the day. Thanks to Weartesters for taking the time to make another dope video.

[@adn2601]

Love it when you review retro shoes in general. Although I prefer Jordan retros, seeing retros from my era (90s) gives me that nostalgia hit. Keep it up!

[@georgenicholsonhart5133]

Love your coverage of Reebok - thank you!

[@WearTesters]

Thanks for watching!

[@smashville2897]

I’m 44 I love and miss all the old Reebok stuff. Wish converse would bring back the old tar maxx and react gel shoes.

[@petes.6844]

Honestly, I watch for the content... both of you are entertaining. Even if she's not on camera, we still see her influence. Reebok, Nike, Jordan, Adidas... doesn't matter🤷‍♂️ Watching you geek out about anything 90's is relatable, her reactions are actually relatable as well in my own relationships. Thanks to both of you, again, for another great review. Honestly has changed my opinion of the Answers.... Always looked narrow af, and I have really wide feet. 13 in Nike, or Reebok, but 14 in Jordan and Adidas

[@theduke821]

More people gotta show some love for Reebok! I wish they would get back in the sneaker game again outside of the retro models.

[@tdogg2029]

As a Bok boy, I usually watch your reviews when u review reeboks so thanks for this one.

[@MrMooie]

It’s cool to see Reebok put out some hybrids. The ones we’ve seen so far blend the models really well.

[@pfvision]

Maaaaan those hybrids look goooood they do have that 80-90s vibe. Also, Reeboks been killing it with the colorways and the retros, glad you show at least briefly so many pairs. Hats off to team weartesters for making the vid.

[@Wicked_Runs]

On sale for $99! These are sick. They remind me of a white and green Pump I had as a kid. Nice to see Reebok using quality materials (sometimes). They really need to stop neutering their tech though. Use real Hexalight. Use REAL DMX (Spend the $). Use quality insoles (They used to have the best).

[@Rangatology]

I love Reebok. Said it countless times, they need to do their version of a Protro - a Ree-mix? Modern midsole foams & some sorta cushioning other that the “new” Hexalite. I’m in my 40’s now, but I loved the Pump series like the Blacktops, Omni Lites, Shaq Attaq 1’s etc etc I still get Omni Lites if I can find my gigantic foot size (16) but haven’t seen an affordable Blacktops since their inception. I miss the old Reebok 3 on 3, when Dee Brown & Danny Manning visited Australia.

[@even_6026]

Man this color way is 🔥🔥🔥!!! I agree @Reebok needs to bring back original Hexalite! This shoe is a perfect blend of new with retro combined. I’m very glad you made this review and discussed the material details. Keep these Reebok reviews coming. Reebok is highlighting slept on these days.

[@jdmendez21]

Honestly, this is a shoe that I didn't realize existed, and it's killer. wouldn't have known about it without Nightwing and the WT crew. Appreciate y'all.

[@WearTesters]

Thanks for being here with us!

[@ghostgetsbusy]

😮😮😮😮 those look HARD....this is what Im talking about Reebok

[@NortromElf]

+respect for you making videos for all the non hyped shoes. You're the one who introduce me to shoes and I'll always watch every single uploads.

[@lerepjames4129]

Agree...OG hexalite over Air Max (comfort wise) all day!! Also OG DMX where you could feel the air move!!!

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Especially ultra hexalite from the mid 90s. That was mad comfortable.

[@mtlresources2658]

I'm so glad you guys decided to do a show on the new Reebok shoes. They have produced what I believe are several of the best Retros this years. The materials may not be the best from all of the companies but they are the ones that we wanted

[@nathaneilbaladad6246]

That Wolverine / Gambit tee is DOPE!

[@SomebodysGottaDye]

We NEED to know how put this together! THIS is storytelling at its best! This person(s) need their flowers for this!

[@derrickhizon8535]

the colour combination just SCREAMS 90s. I love it. Pump shoes are great for support and comfort. If my Shaq Attaq IV did not deteriorate, I'd still be playing in them.

[@derekcolpus2666]

I watch nearly every video you put out. Ironically enough I do actually prefer the Reebok ones. I get an absolute sick military discount from Reebok and enjoy your previews of stuff I’m pretty sure I’m already buying. Being an 80s & 90s basketball fan I go for all those Iversons, Shaqs, kamikazes… so thanks for doing what you do.

[@andrespena5944]

Just grabbed these and the Anuel Pump Omni 2 Collab and the Mich St Reebok Questions. Can't wait to have them in hand. Reebok been putting out some decent stuff lately imo. Its a nice change up from the Jordans and Nikes.

[@timmccaskill9461]

Hey love the reeboks My mate had a pair back in 1989 and I had pair of reeboks in the 1990. They were so cool back then and felt great when I walked even fixed my pigeon toe on my left foot. Hats off to you Chris and your cool partner Love from Brisbane Australia and not many kids had pumps at my school back in the late 80s and 90s Big props too reebok for bringing them back but still love my jordan 6 &8 and 95 air max Cheers for memories and thumbs up for the boks

[@leosburner627]

Copped these for $99 at Footlocker yesterday!

[@jonathandalynn1037]

I'm not going to lie. I've watched a lot of your videos, and this was by far the best pair I've ever seen on video, so I went straight to the brand to get it! Excellent stuff! More Reebok merchandise like this!

[@edmund25sports]

As a sneaker head you gotta appreciate ALL good sneakers, not just Nike & Jordan. And THIS is a good sneaker. This review influenced me, I bought a pair. Thank you

[@EastSideBlitz1337]

Man I really like the retro reebok shoes. Thanks for making reviews on them even though you said you don't get much views on them and don't get paid for editing. It's very much appreciated man.

I enjoy your Reebok reviews way more than your Jordan reviews. I know they are not as popular as the jordan ones but please try to keep these reebok reviews going. I really like them! Love from Austria

[@mcelf168]

Another great video, guys! I saw another reebok mashup in the mall last week. It was the question 1 and the omni pump dee brown. It's really dope. Waiting for it to go on sale! It's interesting to know that reebok is doing this with its classics!

[@DeeCeesTreehouse]

Bit of a Reebok overload at the end! Fun times! I definitely coveted the Reebok pumps like the Court Victory and Twilight Zone, but those kicks were expensive back in the day and parents only paid for one pair of shoes for the year. Hope they release more retro Reebok's true to original design in the future. I'm definitely a buyer now!

[@MrTjhayp]

Thanks Chris for reviewing Boks shoes.... Love them since high school esp the mobius collection...

[@bloodshot6]

More Reeboks and New Balance shoes 🎉. This pair looks great, going to get a pair for the personal rotation. Great review. Btw, those Dee Browns 🔥, no look dunk

[@OnlyJosephSanchez]

I love Reebok retros and those all look great; especially the Shaqs! Thanks for the reviews.

[@vanessaguerra8975]

Of all the recent Reebok retros and hybrids, these are probably one of my favorites. I loved the Pump Omni Zone ii and the Shaq Attack Superman colorway, but I can’t grab my size! I hope I find any one of these in my size so I can feel that nostalgia too. I do have a question Chris, when do you find the time to wear all of these beauties? I can’t find the time most days unfortunately my job requires dress shoes. I try to throw my pairs on even just to run a quick errand sometimes. Great video as always guys!

[@WearTesters]

I cycle through a handful of shoes for daily use and that’s about it. I’ll wear a pair not usually in rotation every once in a while, but I’ve found that I’m more comfortable wearing the same shoes daily - 1s, Air Ship, 3s, 4s and recent AM1 are all I really wear as of late. Luckily I work for myself so I don’t have a dress code 😅

Michigan St. wore the green toe Reeboks, when they were a Reebok school. Mateen Cleaves, Mo Pete, and the Flintstones team that beat Teddy Dupay and the Florida gators. I think Mateen was injured that game and still did work. If I’m not mistaken, it was one of the first PE models Reebok released of the Question.

[@matthewtom4685]

Appreciate the Reebok content! Mid-to-late 90's Reebok basketball stuff was fire and legitimately competed with Nike basketball stuff. Too bad about the fake hexalite stuff because that cushioning was so comfy. Still remember the OG Kamikaze II and how comfy they were

[@richl9623]

I bought these when they first dropped. Haven't regreted it one bit. Love the clunky shoes.

[@markhimself44]

Love the question pumps.

[@sweejinsaw5960]

Nice pump review. I used to have pump back in the 1990s. 1995 to be precise. It’s so much easier to pump it compared to what I see you did. As for the Hexalite, I did cut off my shoes when it was worn out to see how the Hexalite looks like. It a small piece of TPU honeycomb structure. The size is about half size of a credit card.

[@mentazmic]

You're the only one showing love to Reebok and I thank you for that ❤

[@flat-out]

I had the Reebok Omni Zone Pump back then in 1990 when my dad bought it for me at a sports store it had the Hexalite cushioning. But the sales guy fitted me with exact fit so later on I outgrew it. It was my first every Reebok pump shoes which was hot then I picked it over the Air Max.

[@elduderino4579]

Haha! I love the Reebok dump at the end. Hey look at all these other ones too! Thanks so much Chris for including Reebok from time to time because when it comes to early 90s retro, let’s face it Reebok pumps are it! Along with Jordan’s of course and I also really loved your videos on the Nike air flight lite’s! Bought 2 pairs myself. We gotta give a little love to Pippen still 😊

Grabbed the black pair today for $80 at footlocker today. All questions and pumps on sale and quality is on fire. Way better than any nike or jordan I've bought in last year. The question asg is being very slept on right now. I sold off all my victory pumps and instapumps for a small fortune and regret it now. I'm buying up the reebok stuff and not buying jordans unless it's a must. Fear 4s are only ones I actually am excited for this year. Have the og so if this year's are terrible I'll start wearing the dogs and ice the new release.

Amazing shoe. In my opinion Reebok should be the prime brand in basketball. These really looks like basketball shoes!! Everybody now wants those Soccer-basketball shoes that Kobe introduce first. We love Kobe, I like soccer and I love old School high top basketball shoes!! That's why I love basketball, because of the old School dope shoes. 😅 Miss you Reebok, I miss you so much! Please, Mr. Weartester, don't stop believing. ❤

[@Tedbrick]

Very well done! Materials look really nice. I’ll definitely grab a pair once they go on sale.

[@rayordonez9014]

My knowledge of Reeboks Shoes are slim to none, so when you turned the the “Blast” pair the other way I was intrigued! Feel like Companies should use that 2 way look more often, believe Nike did with a colorway of the Kobe 5s. Always a good eye catcher imo specially on feet! Another entertaining video you two 👏🏼

[@BL4DEB0Y]

Nice vid! I bought a white pair of Question Pump and also a black pair. The Pump and release valve didn't work properly on the white ones so I sent them back. I was really disappointed as they just weren't as good as the Pumps I had in the 1990s. Reebok needs to up its game with the Pump and bladder systems. I'd love it if they released an Old Skool Blacktop Hexalite Pump - Black, Green and White!

[@julienansay2979]

Waw! I really love those kicks. They are so good looking and sooooo 90s. Such a pitty that Pump wasn' t mature enough. I hooped with the Pump Omnizone ERS; Although well performing for their time (1991), the shoes were hot - literally - like a hell because of the plastic.

It's funny. I was at a Foot Locker yesterday and they had these marked down to $99.99. They didn't have my size but I'll be on the lookout for them now. It's an interesting concept and the end result really is a decent looking pair of sneakers. Hopefully it gets marked down more because I don't believe it's worth full retail but definitely worth something in the $80 range for sure.

[@michaelsanford4891]

These are a 🔥 hybrid. I have a pair of the answer retros and the squeaking of the tongue limits the amount I wear them unfortunately. Those green toes remind me of when Michigan state was getting buckets in the tourney in those

I bought the Reebok Answer 1's last year (red and white pair and also the black and gold pair). I am disappointed that they are not as good as the originals were. I will still wear them but I owned the O.G's in 1997 and I know they aren't as good as the O.G's

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

I wish they would bring back the "above the rim" line, but if they did it would be without the branding. Reebok lost the rights to it in about 2009. I don't know if you got the last dee time retro, but it just had the Reebok pump basketball branding on the tongue. Big shame.

[@thesouthism]

@@TheRetroManRandySavage, yes, Reebok lost the rights to Above The Rim, but they are owned by Authentic Brands Group, which now owns Reebok. So that means they are back together. The logo is slightly redesigned, but in a good way and I think we will see the line back very soon. Within or outside Reebok range.
