Here’s Future Rider pair number 3. A bit more sedate than the others but still love them.

My mate was wearing a pair of original Pumps a few weeks ago. One has a leak. Every other step he made was a "pffffff"! laugh

When i think of Reebok Pumps i think of Robin hood men in tights.

It's beyond frustrating that Reebok are sitting on such a great back catalogue and doing nothing about it.

I can't for the life of me understand it.

Que?!

These were Hexalite Graphlite Pumps from early 90’s - I believe there was a reissue c. 2014 but I missed it

Jimi - I am so sorry to say Size? up to their usual patter of cancelling online orders:



Gutted for you man, still trying elsewhere.

To further compound your misery, I can confirm Mrs GF will be receiving the Easter Dunks which I just won from a Size? in-store raffle. As this isn’t an online order I’m confident it will be fulfilled - congrats GF and I’ll be in touch to make arrangements.

f*ck sake! That's some twist! I'm never gonna hear the end of this from bloody Gameface.

I've now heard from a few people that Size? have form for cancelling like this. Why? What on earth are they playing at?

As ever though, thanks for your efforts smile

Lightest and comfiest trainers I've ever owned.
RRP was £140, my parents went halves on them with me for my 14th birthday (though I think they were £90 in a sale), replacing some Reebok Money basketball boots (that everyone thought were pumps, but weren't).
I was the envy of my peers!

Looking for suggestions/recommendations for new type/style of trainers.

I've pretty much worn nothing but black Reebok Classics for years. Good price, comfortable, look fine with jeans, down the pub etc. Also have had various Sketchers in dark brown which also look good with blue jeans.

I'm a size 10.5 UK so tend to find that wearing lighter colours simply makes my feet look even bigger, like I've got canoes on my feet! Hence sticking with darker colours to date.

Any suggestions as to what else I could look at that are similar, but different and won't look out of place on a man of a certain age?



Be kind please...... lol

Puma Suede came to mind for me... head to a size? store and browse the shelves, pick them up and try them on...
