For players who hoop in the gym, the footwear options are essentially limitless. But what about ballers who prefer to play the game outside on the blacktop? Thanks to Reebok, it looks like there’s hope.

For the first time in what seems like an eternity, a performance basketball shoe has been created specifically for outdoor hoops. The Reebok Blacktop Retaliate is built to meet the demands of streetballers, while staying true to the styling implemented by the original Reebok Blacktop of the ‘90s.

Look for the Blacktop Retaliate to hit retailers like Jimmy Jazz, City Gear, Expressions and Shoe City starting June 1, 2014. It will also be directly through Reebok. Price = $125.
