Solid black. And I hope the tongue is shorter than my current rbk plate shoes. Sticks up too high and bugs me.

The Reebok tongue is designed to fit underneath your leg guard

I actually like that feature.

I do too .... it allows you to drop you leg-guard down nice and tight on your shoe with no issues :nod:

I actually like the new all black ones, I have the older all black low tops that I got on sale for like $60 and next season will be my 2nd in them so they should last at-least another year.

Wondering how "customizeable" the "logo stripe" is on the all-black version?! :shrug:

why couldn't they have done this?

Then the public wouldn't notice the "Zig" soles on TV, which is the whole purpose of this deal. Brand recognition, not by umpires, which is such small market, but by the general public.

because some umpires will only wear black. So reebok wants them available. But they are banking that most will get the white.

i've said it once and i'll say it again, i like the white on em, looks professional, and don't EVER USE SCUBBING BUBBLES OR MEAN GREEN ON YOUR SHOES!!! It eats at the stitching and they will fall apart. Just use some degreasing agent such as purple power mixed in a very very weak solution with water, it may take a couple minutes longer to clean but you will save money in the long run only buying shoes once a couple of years.

100% disagree. I used scrubbing bubbles on my shoes for years. And when I retired them after their 3rd season, they looked as good as my new ones. The instep and arch support was gone, but the shoes looked great. I now use murphy's and H2O mix for the shine it gives them. But I wouldn't hesitate to use Scrubbing Bubbles.

I can tell you these are very comfy, they shine up nice and they aren't very hard to clean. As for the whole I don't like all the white. Well that's your own personal choice they come in all black, or you can take some goof off and polish and make them more black and just leave the white you want. More pics to come for those interested. But I love these shoes!
