Reebok Zigs

[rekent]

Has anyone here had any luck finding the Zig Refs in an actual store (preferably a national chain)?

I was supposed to be getting a pair in before a tournament this weekend, but apparently they decided to delay the order so I am searching once again.

Not an "actual" store, but I just got mine. Took about a week. In stock. Good price.

I would love to get them without the patent leather. Too showy for my style. Doesn't go with my black belt, and noose lanyard. Any suggestions?

What's a store?

Oh geez! Just picked some up and these suckers are shiny, had never seen in person before! Comfortable though...

Wear them with a CCA jacket at your next AAU tournament.

Time to buy a pair. I got 2 seasons out of my first ones and I ripped out a piece of the insole in my second last game this year.

Maybe I'll get two and put a pair away like I used to do with the Converse Running Refs I bought in the 1990s.

No CCA here, just basic black. Are you implying I should have a more low-key pair of shoes for AAU? (Will do my first AAU this summer and don't want to be "that-guy"...)

I don't get the post, myself. I wear my Zigs for *everything*.

My Zigs are my most comfortable shoes. I wear them for my college games and up-tempo high school games. I will also wear them for my post-season HS games. I wear high top New Balance 889 for the rest of my HS games.

In the off-season I like to rotate my shoes, especially when working multiple games over a weekend. I do the same thing in camp.

I have a pair of low top New Balances that are also comfortable but not very stylish that I keep in my trunk. I wear them for scrimmages and low profile off-season stuff.

Because I don't work as many games as most folks and because I rotate my shoes I have 3 pair of serviceable shoes that I can wear anytime.

Tanger Outlet Mall, the Reebok store, Reebok zigtech non patent leather, used the patent leather for 2 years, going back to mesh, little lighter, 65.00. These are clearance items. Tanger malls in downstate Michigan.

I hate you and your normal sized feet. My duck feet can't fit into Zigs at all, so I'm stuck with NB plate shoes for a pro level shoe.

The way you mentioned the shoes with a CCA jacket after the conversation about some CCA jacket people big-timing their partners made me wonder if the shiny Zigs in an AAU setting would be sort of faux pax.

You would not be out of place wearing patent Zigs here. I've had partners at all levels wear them, they are a very popular shoe here. I wanted a pair until I tried them on.

Looked down in front of me tonight and saw Scott Foster apparently likes them too...
