First Look: Reebok Sermon - 2012 Release

Is Reebok's Sermon a modern interpretation of Shaq's 1996 signature shoe, the Preacher Ice?

Maybe, just maybe, there's some truth to that whole deal about Reebok being back. Here's a teaser look at an upcoming RBK release tentatively being called the Sermon courtesy of Counter Kicks. If you're an avid Shaq Reebok sneaker fan like myself, you'll immediately notice similarities in the silhouette and design of the Sermon and Shaq's 1996 Reebok sig, the Preacher Ice. Tooling on the shoe is almost a direct pull from the Swizz Beatz designed Kamikaze III, but there's an additional section of Hexalite cushioning that "crawls" up the heel - somewhat like the Preacher. Other Preacher-like features (didn't do that on purpose, swear) include the hidden lace system and reinforced toe ran.

No release information on the Reebok Sermon yet, but stick with Sole Collector for new developments.
