Zig Zag Help ???

Anybody know where I can purchase a pair of Reebok Zig Energy Refs regular leather (not patent leather) online? I'm willing to preorder if it's necessary. I bought a pair of the patent leather Zigs toward the end of last season, wore them in a few Catholic middle school games, and found them to be a little too flashy for my style, plus they clashed with my non patent leather black belt. I'd love to get a non patent leather pair, and use the patent leathers for a my backups.

Adsz for at least a couple of places in the current RefMag -- Honigs was one, I think, and maybe Purchase Officals was the other (but both are from memory)

No luck with Honigs. Purchase was a winner.

Thank you very much. The matte finish will definitely match my matte finish black belt.

Sounds like good incentive to ditch the belt and get some new Sansabelts.

We should only be so fortunate........

Hey BM - They make two different types. You can get the patent leather for your patent belt and the non patent leather for your other belt.......

Sansabelts come in patent leather? That's just a little too "kinky" for me.

Sadly enough, Billy like to brag that he wears a belt when he officiates basketball. Apparently in his corner of the world, this doesn't brand him as a guy that has no clue how to dress for a game.

I don't see what the fuss is about. My state association has a master document full of uniform requirements for every sport. Under basketball it says "belt, if worn, must be black".

Acceptable and advisable are not always the same.
