Reebok The Pump Retro
Oct 16, 2009 | Comments 11 |
2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the Reebok Pump. A cutting edge technology at the time, despite the fact you would be hard pressed to find a Reebok Pump on the court anymore, the Pump system will forever be a part of Basketball/sneaker culture thanks in part to Dee Brown's memorable run in the NBA Dunk contest.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Pump, Reebok is bringing back the original Reebok The Pump high top. Different from the Pump sneakers like the Omni Light and Court Victory, which are still popular on the street today, the original Pump featured an extremely high cut, which was popular on the court at the time, and an air release valve on the heel, as opposed to on the tongue.
In addition to bringing back the Reebok The Pump, Reebok is working with 20 brands around the world to collaborate on their own Reebok Pump sneaker. The Pump20, as the campaign is called, will start to rollout soon at select retailers.

This is in the top five of Reebok's best design efforts. I've been wondering why they haven't retroed this classic. I'm a Nike/Jordan man, but if they release this in the white colorway they will be the first Reebok's on my feet in over twenty years.
i never had these shoes but my older cousin said durin his time these were on everyone's feet
these news just made my day.
cant wait for these.
and i hope they come out on limited release cus i dont want to see them everywhere
It's people like u that make me cringe with that limited release **** just so u can feel special. What's the matter, mommy & daddy ain't give u enough attention so gettin somethin limited makes up for it. Dude, it don't matter how many people have something, az long as you got what you want is all that should matter vs people not being able to have what they want.
QFT. Straight up. Besides, we all see how celebs rock the same gear .... it's how it's worn and put together like a painting. But who wears it better ... that's the deal.
why does it still have patent pending on the tounge
Finaly rbk should have done this years ago
beautiful. gotta drop a Knicks colourway.
Reebok is a day late & a Dollar Short! & Dem G-Men takin down the Saints this weekend!
But for real ... this is a retro I really really welcome onto my feet. I am delighted to see something that is not Supra/Jordan/Nike get some respect.
Any release date for this? They are dope! Would be my first Reebok ever
