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 27 year old artistic genius, Jean-Michel Basquiat, gained popularity as an artist by doing graffiti in the Subway as well as the ghetto ares of New York. Unfortunately, Basquiat is no longer with us but his art continues to influence modern day artists as well as products such as this Basquiat x Reebok NPC UK Basquiat sneaker. Reebok has commissioned the art of Basquiat and has transformed the NPC UK sneaker into a piece of wearable art. These shoes are available starting February 5th at Atmos Tokyo.
Once again playing into the age old stereotype of China and dragons, Reebok’s latest Hexride design for this years 2008 Olympics is emblazoned with a huge dragon motif. Predictable colors can be seen in white with red and gold highlights. This particular model destined for the feet of Yao Ming is living proof that huge dragon tattoos were never cool let alone pasted on your feet.

The Pump Fury from Reebok is coming out in droves including this recent collaboration release designed by retailer Karmaloop.

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.

A few days ago we saw the spawning of a Kool-Aid x Reebok collabo in the works which involved Kool-Aid scented soles. Here’s the full pictures here, I can already see the kids wearing a different color on each foot and telling their friends to smell their sweat x Kool-Aid feet.
New York based sneaker store Michael K. took inspirations from some classic comic book characters in this latest pack of themed Reebok Insta Pump Furys. Stepping away from the all too familiar mainstay comic book superheroes, Michael K. looked towards Green Goblin (Spiderman), Sinestro (Green Goblin), Harley Quinn (Batman) and Galactus (Fantastic Four). 60 pairs of each colorway are available at Michael K. and Active Warehouse.

Click through any sneaker forum and check to see the deranged effect sneakers have had on some as people profess their hardcore affection to sneakers as they lick the soles of their sneakers. On that note, beware of lead poisoning or some other medical illness as Reebok has a Kool Aid collaboration in the works which offers scented soles to the neon colored sneakers. SpongeBob Square Pants x Bape has a new competitor for best collabo of the year and we’re only days into 2008.

Set to release soon are series of retro offerings from Reebok in some old school colorways. Aside from the lone ERS Racer, the other models are from Reebok’s back catalog of Pump running and court styles. Within the last year we’ve seen a huge push from Reebok to bring to light their older Pump styles. Be on the look out for these early next year as they hit select Reebok dealers.
