Reebok Question Mid cold grey 2023 retro -some of the worst shoes I have ever bought

            Here's why I think they do never sell well now:

This silhouette may be one of those most important shoe silhouettes from Reebok, I am not sure. But I had the OG pair back in 1996 and I loved the shoes.  I remember those were very comfy back then and felt really good, supportive and durable, but the current pairs did not feel as good as the OG ones.  So, I returned these, these run very small and very short, literally my big toes were touching the edge of the toebox inside and I think my right big toe got really hurt after wearing them in my office for a several hours.  

That said, the silhouette was still nice, the leather upper was very soft and of very high quality one, the cushion unit Hexlite felt still very comfortable even compared to the latest midsole techs like the Zoom X, the Fresh Foam X or the Fuel Cell.  Just the fit was so odd now.  I am still very positive about these as I believe ABG will definitely fix the fit issue of these that Adidas has neglected for many years. 

I think Adidas has really effectively destroyed Reebok brand name and value, now not many people see them as one of the mainstream big sneaker brands like Nike, Adidas, NB, Hoka and Puma.   Reebok is about 1/5th of the size of Puma and about 1/13th of Adidas now.  Adidas has successfully made the Reebok brand image like the lower tier line to their main Adidas line, and so no one now wants to pay much money for any of Reebok dope shoes even for the Instapump Fury 95, which is still considered to be some of the most futuristic and iconic sneaker silhouettes of all time.  Hope ABG really fix that issue, or Reebok brand may not be able to survive for many more years. 

I think they sell their iconic silhouettes too cheap; I mean I just got their super cool all black Instapump Fury 95 Special Edition and Red and Blue colorway which was originally released for Paris collection in 2001 for just under 100 US.  

So, I want Reebok to stay super affordable just like now, but I also want to them to stay profitable as I really like their Instapump Fury line and Nano line shoes.  I also find their track pants or fleece pants more comfortable than most other brands' similar pants.  So, I am wondering if they are making any money on their LS shoes?  Or they are losing some big money on each release?
