I’ve got 2 pairs of those Command Force and they are so damn awesome man! I really love these Reebok pumps they’re bringing out again too. Early 90s basketball kicks were so good, they just had so much character and I love the colours

Yes, please, on the hybrids. And we are not bitching about the hybrids because the classic releases are so few and far between we are ok with anything that gives the 80s and 90s vibes. When we get spoiled for choice then we all start whining.

I was really hyped when I first saw these and doubled up right away. This shoe comes really close to my imaginary, non existing dream basketball sneaker. I'll wear them until they fall apart.

Please do the Shaq Hybrid Pumps!!! Reebok is my favorite brand and I rewatch your Question/Answer reviews all the time! Hope you do more Reebok Question reviews because that’s my favorite model and I’ve watched you review them forever. Also love Jodi’s commentary even though she hated on them lol. Keep up the good work y’all!

These are cool, it's good to see Reebok trying to get back to their roots. I still have a couple of pairs from the Pump line, including an old inflator from the Insta Pump series. Thanks for another entertaining video from Weartesters.

The one Reebok that I really wish they'd retro/release is the DMX Lite running shoe from 1999. Hands down the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned.

Been & always be a Reebok guy. Love that you reviewed them. Brings back GREAT memories. Do more reviews of Reebok when you get a chance. Thanks

I’ve just received these. They are without a doubt the most comfortable high tops I’ve ever owned!

Love the Reebok content. Keep up the good work brother. I was pleased to be able to find that you did this review.

The shaqs turned out great!! Would love a video of them! Specially because the materials look great in that shoe!

Very classic just bought another pair of these had them in the 90s definitely nostalgic feels great on the foot quality leather not bulky I love them so I own omni zone now have these back as well I'm old school so the high top version doesn't bother me I also own the nike command force n those are very high I'm glad these came back thank you humbly wear tester for reviewing them I rock with y'all keep the vids coming my brother

Reebok need to bring back the Pump Blacktop series ASAP!

I thought these looked awesome! Glad to see a review, I think these are just beautiful, something about really high shoes that I love as a sneaker head. I'm waiting for the question pumps to go on sell because those are super under the radar awesome also 🙌 and it'd be pretty cool so see a review on the blast, I'd love to see the history and your opinion on it also

Reebok also brought back The Blast alongside these; would love to see a video on those too! As a UK-based sneakerhead, I feel like I might be one of the few British people who appreciates both of these!

I remember that original leaflet in the box back in 1991!! With the bright Yellow Twilight Zones in the front. I had the Omni Zone ones in the back of the picture with the purple eye stays. I remember being gutted when the polyurethane midsoles turned to dust ☹☹

I have it, i love it!!! The Materials are so great! They need to bring back the blacktop line!!

Well that’s unexpected. Really cool that they did a hybrid…..totally didn’t catch that till you mentioned it.

love your channel man. love that ur a 90s sneakerhead. those pumps look sick, even though theyre not 100% OG …

On first sight I thought something looked off... the ERS bubble was missing on the heel of the outsole!!! If they ever release the OG twilight zone in the white/neon yellow-green (almost like volt) with ERS I would definitely grab them. Yes, the OGs had the bladder around the entire foot, I wore these in grade 9 in my first year of varsity HS basketball.

Part of me wants to pick these up, part of me doesn’t. I like what reeboks have been doing with retros as far as quality, but I’m just in the middle about these. Still a great looking shoe, great review and like that you pointed out the difference in leather on the shoe

Love the vids as always. As soon as I saw these they are a must cop. Shame about the ERS tooling, however not mad just look at them! 🇬🇧

I can't wait until the Reebok Pump Court Victory (citron/green). The Michael Changs were 🔥🔥🔥

I bought two pairs when they released. Twilight Zone pumps are amazing.

Great one and old skool

Love my pair. The White/Electric Red are coming soon. I can not wait for that colorway

Bok Boyz, shout to Full Size Run, brought me here. We need more Reebok and New Balance reviews 🔥

Oh snap! This is what I’ve been waiting for as a Reebok die hard. Fyi Bok is releasing the OG cherry colorway soon and theres a hemp version if these on Champs right now. I actually ordered the hemp model out of curiosity, should be in tomorrow.

DOPE REVIEW!! 👍🏾

I'm thinking about the Question pump hybrid. I think they look great!

Can’t wait to play in these I was so tempted I buying some off of eBay just to try it out. I might still buy it and see what the difference is, other than it being a older sneaker

Those are fire! 🔥🔥🔥... I just got the Reebok Blast Re-Release yesterday, Van Exels sneakers. It is gonna take some effort on my part and yours to convince the old lady I need these so soon after that $150 pocket check. Reebok needs to Re-Release some of their Eastbay Legends... The Reebok ATR Talking Crazy, the Reebok ES 22, the Reebok ATR Lock It Up, the Reebok ATR Pump Fly, the Reebok Preseason: The Big Hurt, the Reebok Burn & Run (Herman Moore), the Reebok Hostile Mid, Reebok Slingshot Dura, the Reebok Electrolyte 97, Reebok Preacher Mid, the Reebok Triple Deuce Mid, the Reebok Floorshow Mid, Reebok Icepick Mid, the Reebok Buty Riano (unreleased) Why they don't look at Eastbay magazines and see those 90s sneakers were fire and would do crazy numbers if promoted... Reebok, it's like the company has amnesia and forgot they were the top sneaker company during the 80s and a chunk of the 90s cause they didn't back down in design and advertising. I want the old Reebok back

Take me back to the summer of 1990!!!!

Nice vid!!

Yes I’ll watch a review on those other ones!

96 yilinda unirsite takiminda oynarken giymiştim hic sakatlanma dan cok uzun yillar giydim gecen gun sporthing magazadinda bir cift gorunce cok sevindim hemen aldim neon yeşil..

I still have a few pair's of the blacktop from when they brought it back in 2004. There's no difference between the retro and the OG. They were still using the same pump mechanisms in 04 and it was real hexalite too.

I completely agree with you on real Hexalite. I have the same feelings about React Juice and Fila 2A and adidas FYW, etc. its just not the same w/o it. it sucks that theres no incentive for any of these companies to bring back retro tech in real form. its a ton of added cost for a VERY niche customer base that knows the difference. every time a retro is released it makes me a little sad. I miss the days of incredible leather, suede, nubuck etc on all the kicks. late 80s and 90s was unmatched. every company was competing so hard with tech and materials to drool over. I know its never coming back but dang that stuff was amazing. it really was a different experience even picking up a shoe off the shelf and feeling the textures and the smell of the leather. obviously they cant do it anymore bc global demand is too high and its way cheaper to use synthetics/PU coated leathers for consistency. also the shoes would probably cost $300-400 for that level of material quality and innovation. I never had more than one new pair at a given time and could never get the most expensive models, but the pairs I did have were amazing and unforgettable.

These look amazing. Reebok is about to get wild again. We need all Shaqs back!!

Awesome review Chris and I hope you do more Reebok reviews. Definitely do a review on those hybrid Shaq’s! I heard the materials are insane!Nothing screams early 90s more than Reebok pumps man! I bought these as soon as I saw them and I’m so glad I did. I actually bought a pair of the Twilight Zones in the black, paprika and white years ago and a pair of the blacktops! Considering 80s/90s retro stuff is popular I’m not sure why peeps are sleeping a bit on Pumps. I feel if Reebok actually got a bit aggressive again with their marketing they would probably do quite well….. maybe Adidas owning them has something to do with it. Oh and Forum highs all day too!

Adidas sold them last year to an investment group, partly owned by Shaq. So, hopefully...🤞 they get back into basketball. In my opinion, they could use updated cushioning on the classics like the pumps. Floatride on a Twilight or Blacktop pump 🤔. Would be good to start

@@WhathehadasSole ohhhh I did not know that! Thanks for the update! I’m actually excited that Shaq is the part owner. Hopefully they push more of the retro stuff and even release some old late 80s/early 90s tee designs.

Ich würde gerne mehr von dem Zeug sehen!!! Ende der 80iger bis Ende 90iger (frühe 2000er) war die Qualität on top!!! Auch wenn früher alles aus top Materialien bestand ist reebok noch am nächsten dran!! Werd wohl wieder auf REEBOK switchen- WIE ALLES BEGANN 🤣(für mich zumindest). Anfang der 90igern hab ich nur gehört - hast du schon die neuen PUMP gesehen🤪. Der Duft der neuen sneaker hat mich gleich gehabt - heute riecht man was man bekommt - in den meisten Fällen GAR NICHTS - zumindest nicht viel im Vergleich zur Primetime ✌️

These are pretty damn nice. Struggling to find my size in my country. Story of my life.

These & the iverson’s the only bulky retros that shall remain 🔥💯

I had them & AJ V my senior year in HS. The Pumps Definitely had a air bladder around your ankle as well as the tongue. From what I remember anyway 😂

That's a hit of high school memories right there. Next do Nike Air Force Command! 😊

They should have done the original tooling. We need the ERS back. Awesome review as always.

Dope retro reebok kicks

Yo, what about doing a review on the Question Pumps, now that would be a dope review!!

1990. These made me care about shoes in general. Wouldn't even dare asking parents to buy them back then.. I think I'll buy these.

I bought these, quite like them. I did replace the insole though, other than that, happy enough with them for what they are.

Love them. i thought I heard they were going to retro the cherry red OG colorway too.

Love seing TopShelf get some love from across the country

I'm REALLY hoping that Reebok retroes the Court Victory's. Seeing as they made that Shaq x Court Vic hybrid.

My pair should be here day after tomorrow, can’t wait to put them with their high top family in my room.

As someone who doesn't wear high tops casually anymore, it makes me sad to know I shouldn't buy these. These look awesome!

Im here not cuz im a reebok fan, but a weartesters fan.

Man those r so clean love reebok

Reebok is doing great with their pumps. I may get these.

Paul from the diamond center.. lol.. nice edit 👌🏾

I skipped these for the Blasts but I really wish I had the budget to get these as well. So clean

Best shoes ever. These will be my 3rd pair of pumps.

Yes, that would be epic. If they would bring back thae hexalite. That stuff was amazing on foot and super durable

My dream shoe back then until now..never got the chance to have them...

I'm 44 years old. I had the original Reebok Reverse Jams (2 pairs), Blacktops, Kamikaze II, Reebok hikers with Hexalite, all from back in the 90's and Hexalite was always trash. It would come apart inside the shoe, it would seperate from the upper and lower clear plastic membrane, it was too thin to ever provide any real cushioning. The best would have to have been the Kamikaze II's as they made Ultra Hexalite at that time and moved it from the very bottom of the sole where it did no good at all to directly under the heel where it provided some squish. It also had forefoot hexalite in it but that seperated inside the shoe. I would dissect my shoes back in the day (like most idiots back then) to see what the technology was like. Excluding the Kamikaze II's the hexalite was always this tiny square that didn't even cover the majority of the heel. The Kamikaze II's provided a rather large square which covered more area. All in all I was always disappointed with Hexalite it was pure propaganda and when it was out of the shoe you couldn't even tell it was gone (excluding the Kamikaze II's again). Just my own personal experience having grown up with Hexalite and having several pairs over the years. The pump was great though!

Chris I would love to have the OG blacktop pump 🔥🔥🔥

Pumps are always fun

I really like these, but absolutely agree on how high these are.

I like them. Sold my white omni pumps, instantly regretted it.

The originals came out when I was in 5th grade and the ERS was so interesting to me. I know it was a reaction to Nike and visible air so I was like.... what is that thing? how does it work? what is it made up of? Ended up getting the Bo Jacksons that year for school.

I knew as soon as your video on these dropped everyone was gonna jump on the bandwagon n buy these 🤣 ppl can’t think for themselves. Good review tho 👍🏼

I want a pair now

Always thought the pumps were some of the coolest shoes

They look cool

Please review those Shaq Courts! Love hybrid models

I hope to see more pumps, such a classic that is just getting slept on. The Reebok site has had some terrible colorway selection for Omnizone 2's, idk if it's changed but they had two white/blue/red models, just that one also hard orange accents... Then they add this really cool and 90's looking but kinda niche one with like gray, purple and teal, I appreciate that but where the hell are the basics?

It's great seeing those again but just like back in the day, I'm too broke to ever cop one.

Reebok is very underappreciated but I honestly do wish they did true justice on their archives with their Reebok Pump retros bringback ERS & Hexalite

Love the nostalgia of them but it’s a pass for me and as always great video 👍🏾
