Sick Pickleball Reeboks

So happy to see Reebok back onto tennis courts.
I can see the Court Victory colors being used here, only it looks too much like a gym shoe, to me. Bringing back Reebok Act 600 would be amazing and make me buy 2 pairs instantly.

Nice! What color did you go for?
The white/grey color. Was thinking of the highlighter color way, but it wasn’t available for sale. I don’t have high hopes for these. Maybe if they feel good on foot in the initial fitting, I’ll think about the brighter color for fun.

lol

Can you let us know the weight/size please? Not sure if you have access to a scale or not now
My pour over coffee scale should be sufficient. :-D

I should have them in hand later this week. Just got the shipping notification from the vendor. The highlighter color is definitely growing on me over the bland white/grey/black color way that I ordered.
 
Ha! Yeah, I plan on only using these for PB if they fit OK. I don’t know anything about the FloatRide cushioning from Reebok.
I think Floatride is a TPU foam so should be akin to Fuel Cell or Boost. Should at least be somewhat of a step up from a standard EVA foam. However the Reebok site indicates it only has Floatride in the heel and based on the design I bet that means it has a pretty thin EVA foam in the forefoot. The shoe's construction looks a lot like an Ubersonic to me.

Herringbone sole too, nice — I'm in for some of these if I can get them shipped to NZ at a sensible price.

Yup, I thought uber sonic, too. I wish/hope the forefoot is cushioned enough. I don't have that much heel impact in PB. I won't be wearing these for tennis.

Size 10, 659g or 12.67 oz.

I’m a 9.5 in this shoe. I’m not in love with the drop - very high in heel. And it’s not a gentle slope downward. Almost seems like A sudden drop around the arch area. Likely it’s better for those with high arches.

I’m not keeping them.

I’m guessing this is kind of a lightweight casual type shoe with not much support?

Gonna try these out if they go on a big clearance sale or see them in outlets. It’s fun seeing untraditional bigger brands come out with shoes. Waiting for the Lululemon shoes too haha

Never heard of these until now

Any idea if they are going for the minimalist or the maximalist style?
No clue. I heard about it in a different thread that Leylah Fernandez was gonna wear it. obviously didn’t happen yet, as she’s wearing Asics, On, and Puma.

I watched that - it sounds absolutely horrible. He kept using a metaphor like "an elephant trying to balance their feet in tight shoes." Completely unplayable - casual shoes only it appears, and wasn't clear from the review that they would even be good for that.
it's ok you don't have to move in pickleball (jk kinda)
