With the recent introduction of Hexride and Smooth Fit into their athletic line-up, Reebok has made great advancements and improvements from a technological standpoint. (I think everyone was getting weary of standard EVA and IMEVA cushioning formats in the Iverson line.) RBK’s ’08 Team hoops line doles out an eclectic flavor from an aesthetics outlook, as the Dry Erase-inspired ATR Talkin’ Krazy , Flash Hexalite, and Omni Hexride all furnish a completely different set of design cues (Look forward to more news regarding the Omni in the coming weeks).
The Flash Hexalite is the budget buy from Reebok’s ’08 line, but, I’m happy to report the shoe plays and looks nothing like your standard K-Mart affair. The shoe offers a sturdy block of Hexalite in the heel (The hexagonal honeycombed structure made famous by the cultish Question 1.) and features a removable Poron sockliner so if you wear orthotics, the Flash will accommodate. The shoe is encased in an all patent upper, and provides a series of ventilation studs along the midfoot, and reinforced coverage along the ankle. Get yours at www.eastbay.com for a price of only $69.99.

The red color is my favorite. The look is sleek! for some crazy reason they remind me of boxing. maybe is the strong shiny colors. They look super comfortable. If I was a guy I would get them based on the comfort you posted about.
Cool post and cool shoes Jeremy!
