Reebok Blast – Black – Blood Orange

The Reebok Blast arrived onto the basketball performance scene during that legendary 1995-96 red that saw releases like the Shaqnosis, Kamikaze II and Nike’s notable class match that red’s Chicago Bulls’ record-setting pace.  The Blast was until recently one of that year’s forgotten gems, but sneakerheads certainly have them on the radar this summer, thanks to all the orange-accented black/dark grey colorups that fit the heel-burst.  This is the third such Blast we’ve seen this summer, one that stands out from the pack thanks to its use of ribbed knit and chenille textures on the signature heel.  Click through to see how this latest style compares to notables like Marvel Comics’ Chamber collab Nike has altered this classic and renamed them the Shelta.
