After seeing numerous releases and promotions for Reebok's Kamikaze and Pump model sneakers, it's refreshing to see the Reebok Blast come from the sports brand.
The Reebok Blast has a subtle flair that's pleasing to the eye. The premium leather upper certainly brings swagger to the shoe, and the red, white and black theme is a combination that always works well. But perhaps the highlight is the explosive design on the side that looks like the layout that serves as Batman's punches in the 60s live-action show. This design extends all the way to the heel and even appears on the tongue of the shoe as well. The shoe also utilizes Hexalite technology for proper cushioning.
The Reebok Blast will be available in two colors.
