Reebok's classic Blacktop line of outdoor basketball sneakers is back with the Blacktop Retaliate this summer. The popular asphalt-ready hoops shoes from the early 90's were just resurrected with the return of the Battleground and Boulevard, and now Blacktop technology moves on into the modern age with the Retaliate, an all-new streetball shoe that's even more durable than the classics, featuring a rubberized upper, heavy-duty rubber outsole and Pump technology. Although it may be a modern silhouette, the Retaliate keeps the classic Blacktop flavor with design inspiration from the Battleground.
The Blacktop Retaliate will debut in the two colorways you see below, black/white and grey/blue/orange, on June 1st at select Reebok retailers and Reebok.com for $125.
