Hey guys

I can´t remember properly but if I´m not wrong... is there any RBM1 or RBM100.. thye janeses models produced in natural finish.. I mean OL finish with the natural wood like the Corean RBM10??'
I think only natural model apart from RBM400 and RBM2NT was the RBM10 Corean but just to be sure of it. I know that RBM1 was offered in black, blue and red finish, RBM100 only in black finish.

CheersĦĦ

All RBM1 + 2's were made in Japan at the factory. Far as I know everything else was made in China or Korea. Please correct me if im wrong on this. Thanks ...Guv

Hi Guv

Yes, all RBM1 (maded in Japan from 1991 to 1993) then in 1994 until 1995 appear the RBM100 in substitution of tyhe RBM1 also maded in Japan.. and in same years 94-95 comes the Korean one RBM10... I have this clear.. but I´m just asking about the natural wooden finish... I´m pretty sure apart from the RBM400 and RBM2NT the only ones in natural finish were the Korean RBM10.. but I just wanna be sure or if anybody has news about the japnese 1 or 100 in this finish.

Thanks for replying mate.

Javier

Sorry Javier, I cant help ya! I know nothing about the RBM100 or if there was a natural finish in that model. Thanks...Guv

Here's the catalogue scans if that helps:

Grey, you're missing the scan of the cat pages with the RBM400OL that included Reb holding the emerald green one.

Damn I forgot three scans actually. That's what happens when I'm trying to function on two hours of sleep. Gimme a sec and I'll fix that.

Here's the three:

1992:



1994:

LOL! I've never seen 2 of those 3! The one with Reb sitting holding the emerald green I have, the other 2, never seen? Where did they come from.

Zander

I also never knew there was a RBM100 LOL

Zander

One is from a poster book Ibanez put out the other is a supplemental to the normal catalogue. I can post a full scan later on if you want to see them. Lol

Man, that was great to see! Thanks! I loved those sneakers. I picked them out at the factory. Can you believe I actually had a nike endoresment?
Reb

Serious? That is epic. I would have died for free Nikes back in school. I was always either in Nikes or boots.

LOL! You da man Reb. You da man.

Damn it Reb! I never made it famous cause I never owned a pair of Reb Beach Nike's! lol

I blame my obsession for white high tops on you Reb. LOL! The nikes were always more expensive and around here never that cool looking for Nikey hightops. So I was usually wearing Reebok Hightops in your honor. LOL

I actaully wore my hightop sneakers to my prom. I don't think my girlfriend was entirely thrilled but I hated dress shoes back then. HATED them. So it was sneakers or I didn't go.

My sophomore prom I wore a big pink dress but my senior year Iwore my leather jacket and a short black dress. My family had a fit over it haha.

nice find, grey!

my rbm is exactly like one of those pictured in the second ad (blue w/ no funky fresh pickguard :'^(

i'm glad you dug that up because i was wondering exactly what pickups it came with.

for the record, reb's shoes were the bomb! and now that i know that he had a nike deal, it just reinforces the notion that all the cool people in the 80s and 90s had nike deals (jordan, agassi, reb!)!

Agassi!!! He so cool even my voice text recognized his name!!

dont'cha just luv it when Reb drops in like that out of the blue! :)

Hey Guv and guys thanks so much for all info and pics... there are great shots that I almost forget about old catalogs that are always cool to see again.

About the sneakers... odd thing indeed.. hahaha... a couple of days ago I was checking on the bay a pair of old L.A. Gear sneakers in black, white and red finish... but it was not my number..it was nice becuase it was the original NOS and are discontinued.. but well.. I heard something about L.A. Gear reissuing some old models.. did you have any notice??

CheersĦĦ
