Wearing my two pair of Reebok Freestyles mismatched so you can observe the differences
As I commented earlier, the "new" black freestyles are different than the five year old (purchased new) white ones. The biggest differences to me are the obvious ones, the black ones size 4 are smaller by a half inch than the white ones, size 3. The Reebok logo on the sides are different. One is in color, the other a shadow print. One has the British flag in color.
By now, I had removed the heel counter in the new black ones so I could wear them for some hours without discomfort.
As I mentioned with the previous photos, the black ones have much more pliable leather, they stretched to fit my feet better once the heel counters (very hard plastic) were removed.
