Curio of the week: BBxxxx / Commitment Mid variation ?
Thought these curio’s would be worth posting, as sent to Retroboks’ Facebook page by Aamon in the US. Read on for more pics. Read the rest of this entry
Pro Legacy Mid Vintage
More superb retro releases from Reebok Classics, both running the accurate mid-80’s ‘stretch logo’ as suggested by Retrobok. The Pro Legacy uses the BB 4600 mid and outsole, with a largely similiar upper — but it’s the oversized Reebok logo on the heel counter, and bold wraparounds on the upper that give the Legacy a much much bolder appearance.
Available now from Reebok UK. —BokOne
BB 4600 Vintage
I haven’t heard much fanfare about the release of these Vintage BB 4600‘s, which is a real shame for a number of reasons. Firstly they were one of Reeboks’ earliest succesfull Basketball shoes born back in 1986 ; 3—4 years before the arrival of The Pump.
Secondly, Reebok Classics have done their on-point Vintage treatment on these with off-white midsoles, yellowed glue, and the accurate ‘stretched’ Reebok logo in the side window (non-OG colourways of the BB 4600 don’t get this treatment please note, a nice touch by Reebok Classics). Also, modern-day accoutrements such as ‘Reebok Classics’ on the tongue label have been removed, to heighten that OG authentic feel. And I absolutely love them, especially the Red/White — so 80’s they hurt!
The BB 4600 Vintage — a ‘quiet’ Classic then. Available now from Reebok UK.
