Rocked these today.

Actually I am lying my ass off, I did these like a month ago.  But shit got hectic in my life so my"Internet Balling" had to be put on pause.
These are the Reebok X Solebox E.R.S. 2000 "Cirtus"

Everyone who is a sneakerhead know about www.solebox.com I need not go into further detail about them.  And don't ask me to cuz I am lazy and trying to rush this so I can get some
I am chunky and have to keep my blood sugar level up.

Anyways.  I picked these up when they dropped around January 2009 or some time around then.  I was stocked that they were going to be scented like oranges in the  removable insoles.  They were also supposed to come with an air freshner, but those douchers never gave me one. I hope Hikmet trips over himself while eating a salad and stabs himself in the eye for jipping me(J/K).  When I got them I was sort of disappointed at how bland they looked.  I put them on with some shorts and I seriously felt like one of them old fucks you see in the mall with a polo on, tucked into their cargo shorts with knee high socks wandering around lost as hell looking for the old peoples sitting section.  But I gave them another chance( they were about to be put on www.solecollector.com.)  I rocked them with some jeans and they went really together.

The shoe itself is a combo of a suede upper with a mesh toebox. The heel is wrapped in a clear capping with the Solebox logo stamped into it.  The sole is a mixture of clear part with glitter( It reminds of those ugly ass jellie shoes girls used to wear when I was in elementary school) and a sherbert orange.  The shoes came with two sets of orange scented insoles, which lost their gimmicky smell in like two weeks.  It also came with some extra laces, grey and orange.

Overall I was not impressed with this collaboration that Solebox did.  They usually put out some fucking heat, but I figure even A.ROD strikes out every once in a while so all is forgiven. Don't get me wrong these are comfortable as hell, but if I am going to pay Euro prices I would have liked something with a little more effort out into it.

Anybody else get hyped over a sneaker and when you finally got it you were fucking supremely disappointed? Let me know in the comment section.
