Back in April we brought news that Reebok was bringing back their Blacktop series of sneakers designed for outdoor basketball by re-releasing the Boulevard and Blacktop II models from their archive.
Designed with current materials, the Reebok Retaliate takes the outsole durability that the Blacktop series has been known for and adds a modern twist. Being constructed with a ported upper and with a mesh underlay, the current-day Retaliate is by the the most breathable sneaker in the Reebok Blacktop series.

I am happy to see Reebok jump back into the performance basketball market after shutting down briefly in 2012 after the a failed launch of the Zig series. The Vector brand has such a deep roots in basketball sneakers which is why Reebok will always be welcome on the basketball court, especially the playground blacktop.
Just as Cam’Ron says in the spot above: all good players have to prove themselves outside before they could go inside. Indeed Killa, indeed.
Both colorways of the Reebok Blacktop Retaliate seen here are available now on the Reebok webstore for $125.
