Reebok EX-O-FIT HI High Top Basketball Shoes for Men, Retro Men's Sneakers

How can I describe the perfect shoe? Well it's the shoes that I bought. The one you're reading a review about. These shoes are what I feel are the perfect shoes. They're lightweight makes it feel like you're running like dash from The Incredibles. Not only that but you feel protected with the thick sole. Which has a pretty chunky heel which makes it perfect to step in deep puddles of water. Makes it feel like you can step on nails. And adds a little placebo height, that people will recognize but not find the shoe as an excuse. With all this protection on my feet. I was extremely satisfied to find that it does not add any weight to the shoe. It's simply feels like armor. Lightweight hard as steel armor. I feel like I can run, jog, trot, hike, trek, ramble, lope, sprint, dash, race, march, gallop, bolt, dart, hurry, canter, rush, scurry, and crawl. Yes crawl, the toe area has so much flexibility yet sturdiness. The ankle support makes me feel like I can play basketball whenever I need to. With the extreme grip on the souls with the upside down triangle pattern. Is genius to me. I constantly find myself bragging to my brothers about how I have a significant advantage because my upside down triangle shoe design. It pierces the ground and gives you a little boost. With a beautiful Reebok logo on the bottom sole of the heel sleeping there. Which only comes second to my first favorite branding, the tongue. The nice thick tongue which is snuggled under the velcro lacing. Is my favorite sleek, and subtle flash. With a hint of red in all this white it makes you feel so saucy. And snuggled underneath the tongue, would be your ankle. As long as you have this shoe your ankle would be hugged constantly from all sides making sure you have supreme grip on anything. When I outgrow these shoes (I hope never) I would only come back to this review to buy another pair. These shoes belong in the museum with all of my life artifacts. The shoes that I would choose to run away from the cops in. The shoes that I would choose to go to a four day music festival in. The shoes that I would take with me if I can only take three objects in the wilderness. These shoes don't only protect my feet, they make it possible for me to keep going. Anyways 10/10, would buy again.

I've been wearing the Reebok EX‑O‑FIT HI for months now, and these vintage-inspired high-tops absolutely deliver. From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the plush comfort of the removable Ortholite foam sockliner and EVA-cushioned midsole—yet they stay lightweight enough for both casual wear and all-day activity . The soft full-grain leather upper looks and feels premium, molding to your feet over time and providing solid ankle support, especially when secured with the adjustable strap. The abrasion-resistant rubber outsole grips well across surfaces and indicates strong durability—even after daily wear on pavement. Stylishly, the clean retro lines and iconic hook-and-loop strap give off robust 80s–90s basketball vibes. In black or white, they pair effortlessly with jeans or athleisure, earning compliments daily. Great bang for your buck!

Good sneakers

Have been wearing this shoe since 1987. Have always worn size 12. When these shoes disappeared from the US market, I continued to order them from the UK and Germany until they were re-introduced back to the US market. They were gone for about 5 years and then several years ago, they came back to the US. I use this shoe for everything and usually have about 4 pairs on rotation at a time. The newest pairs are for work and business and then moved down the line for casual outings, then hiking, and then finally yard duty and projects. I literally use them for everything. Finally after I've destroyed them doing yard work and outside projects, they get tossed. The last pair of 12s I ordered are different. These are the 822 series of the 3478. Their sole is smaller and the inside is 5 mm shorter than the very last 12s I bought which are series 619 (previous to that, 615). Not sure if there was a 7 series, since that the pair I bought last year was a 619 and they're not on 822. So I ordered a size 12.5 and amazingly (came as a series 422), even this 12.5 sole is 5 mm shorter than the old 622 series 3478 size 12 sole but the inside of the new 12.5 is the same length as the old 12 because the rear of the heel bulges out over the rear of the rubber sole more than the old 12 622 series did. So the 12.5 fits but has a slightly smaller footprint than the old 12.5. Amazon had a used pair of 12.5s from their Wearhouse for only $28, so I ordered those too. These came as series 322 which and are larger inside and out than the current 422 series 12.5 shoes. Their interior is exactly the same as the new size 13 but the exterior is identical to the new size 13, again, due to this bulging thing they did on the rear to allow the heel of the foot to slightly overhang the rear of the sole. Attached is an image of a brand new 12.5 322 and a brand new 12.5 422 (on the right) and the two labels. This explains why there are so many complaints of the this shoe suddenly not fitting long time wearers.

Laced these up and got instant retro-cool vibes. The leather is sturdy but breaks in fast, the ankle strap keeps everything locked without rubbing, and the collar padding hits the sweet spot. Grip is solid on slick floors, and the cushioning has that walk-all-day comfort. Perfect for errands, concerts, or cruising the mall like it’s 1985. Fit was true to size for me, with a roomy (not bulky) toe box. After a couple of weeks they still look crisp with minimal creasing and a quick wipe keeps them clean. If you want a clean high-top that blends classic style with real comfort, these deliver. Five stars, no hesitation.

Perfect if you're looking for a classic, retro look. True to size, and super comfortable!

Everything is perfect. They are the Reeboks I have always wanted, but something strange is happening. I'm someone who has never had sweaty feet. I don't suffer from that, but when I wear them for my daily activities, when I take them off, my feet are excessively damp. I have cowboy boots, ankle boots, shoes of all kinds, and only my Reeboks make my feet sweat. It makes me question the material they're made of. I hope they're really genuine leather, as the product description says. I can't deny that they're really comfortable.

Fits perfect, very soft, love the the ankle support, and it was the perfect color for school
