Even with the so called recession of “sneaker collecting” we have upon us, Reebok has done very well with awesome release after release. Here is their latest release which is the Reebok Pump Omni Light. This particular model was worn by Dee Brown of the Celtics during the 1991 Slam Dunk Contest. On the inside of the shoe, we can see that these will be limited to only 1991 pairs worldwide. The sneaker boutique Undefeated will have a exclusive early release this Saturday February 9th. Pick them up before they’re all gone!
One of the sneakers that sneakerheads in Japan collected (when sneaker collecting was still popular) was the Reebok Insta Pump Fury. Looking like its going to transform into a robot, this sneaker when it was first released had some cutting edge technology but looked good at the same time. Now, Reebok will be releasing a new collection based on the Insta Pump Fury. Three Insta Pump Furies will be released all pimped out with purple, red or blue snakeskin. You can pick these up startin February 6th at Atmos Tokyo.
The Pump Fury from Reebok is coming out in droves including this recent collaboration release designed by retailer Karmaloop. The sneaker features a smörgåsbord of materials for the upper including cement colored suede, 3M, snakeskin and mesh. The heel features Karma and loop respectively on the left and right. 60 pairs are available exclusively through Karmaloop.
Reebok’s been working hard on their latest retro releases which in our opinion represent a better direction for its lifestyle market, a far cry from certain misguided collaborations they have in their planners. Although this Pump Omni has a different theme in mind, I can’t help but think of Michael Chang’s OG colorway of the Court Victory.
