Over the years, I’ve slowly been getting tired of Reebok. Some people may gasp in shock at that, but I don’t care – I said it. Reebok are becoming boring and repetitive. When Pharrell teamed up with ‘em and brought us the Ice cream line, I was happy; they finally tried something new. Let’s face it though – everything else they make lately has been done before, or is just a tweaked version of another shoe in their huge line.
So today I got an email from Amazon recommending me a few new Reebok products; my instant thought? Oh no. Not again. What have they came up with now? A red version of an old green sneaker they brought out three years ago? Well, imagine my shock when the first thing in the email was actually not that bad.
I quickly headed over to Amazon to inspect the new shoes. The line I am talking about at the moment is the Reebok Men’s Derrty One Sneaker, currently selling for anywhere between 20 and 60 bucks depending on the size and colour chosen. They feature a nice flag (which somewhat resembles the UK) and a Jackson Pollock style paint spalt graphic; surprisingly, they go together really well. There is also another variation featuring a brown coffee like colour, where the paint splats have simply been replaced with a solid black colour – this looks nice too. All in all, I like these shoes. I haven’t liked Reebok for a while now, but maybe – just maybe – they can come back hard.
