80 :: Reebok Blast

I remember these came out as part of a big collection of black and white Reeboks in 1995. They were in the same pack with the Shaqnosis, the Frank Thomas Big Hurts and, of course, the first Kamikazes. I saw the ad and flipped out. My Mum took me all over west Sydney; Penrith Plaza, Westfield Parramatta and somewhere in Blacktown, but nobody had these beauties. I found them on eBay two years ago after a lifetime of searching and felt like a king.
