1990's Reebok DMX still comfortable
DMX was Reebok's answer to Nike's Air and Air Max. Air pods under the outsole, all interconnected. I found them more comfortable than the Nike Air series, but I'm not sure how much the Reebok pods did, they remained comfortable after the pods went flat, and even after they wore away.
This pair was another from the liquidation sale haul I've discussed earlier. Another pair I began wearing regularly, as I liked the different styling and because, yes, they were comfortable.
But, like some other shoes of that era,, the outsoles hardened and crumbled away within months. The blue "pods" turned out to be very durable, staying inflated for about two years after the outsoles were gone. And even when they were flat, they still remained intact until a few years ago, when they finally crumbled away, leaving the remaining midsole. Still a very comfortable, serviceable shoe. None of the midsole "rot" like many Nikes.
I should note that every pair of this color DMX of that era, clear outsoles with a purple upper, crumbled like mine did, and most of the owners kept wearing them as is, like me. And I later bought a pair of Puma Mostros with the same clear outsole that also hardened and crumbled within months of their purchase. But again, they remained perfectly wearable.
