Bodega x Reebok Pump 20 – Detailed Photos
Following up on the preview photos of the Bodega x Reebok Pump 20 posted a couple weeks ago we now have some detailed photos of the sneakers giving us an all around look. Bodega has dubbed their version of the Reebok Pump the “Outback” and dressed them up with an buttery smooth suede upper in olive green with accents of black and touches of grey and purple. BDGA is printed across the back of the heel on each sneaker in a grungy green font. The bottom half of the tongue is constructed from green mesh and the top appears to be white leather. The sole unit consists of a gum outsole with a midsole that uses a grey and black combo with the grey porition having a black speckle pattern included on it.
Upon their release the sneakers will come in a screen printed ammo case with army netting replacing the usual issue paper found within sneaker boxes. Bodega has also designed a special t-shirt to release alongside the Pumps including a graphic of a wolf wearing an eye patch and a beret. This same graphic can be seen on the ammo case.
Watch for the Bodega x Reebok Pump 20 to release on November 21st, 2009. Click here to check out plenty of detailed photos of the shoes.
Hanon x Reebok Pump 20 – Detailed Photos
As we came to a close in October we were presented with a preview of the Hanon x Reebok Pump part of the Pump20 campaign. We were left with a teaser image as well as quick video filmed in a horror movie fashion. Eventhough most of us were able to get a general idea of what the sneakers looked like in the preview video Hanon has provided us all with some detailed shots of the Pump.
For their addition to the Reebok Pump20 campaign Hanon decided to go with a pretty much tonal mockup of the Pump. The upper sports a grey nubuck base with premium “shark” suede overlays and grey polypag nylon mesh on the tongue and toe-box. Alternative color accents on the upper come in the form Reebok red with a slight hit of black, both which happen to be colors used on the original Reebok Pumps 20years ago. Additional details include Reebok’s Playdry Technology applied to the inner lining (which also has an enlarged multi-color pixel/block design), a suede flocked midsole and plenty of Hanon and Pump 20 branding.

Sneakersnstuff x Reebok Pump
A couple weeks ago we provided you with a few details and a few preview images of the Sneakersnstuff x Reebok Pump part of the much talked about Reebok Pump20 campaign. A lot of you have been expressing a great detail of interest in the Reebok Pumps being released as part of the 20th Anniversary Collection so without further adue we would like to present you with some detailed images of the Reebok Pump designed by Sneakersnstuff.
As we previously reported Sneakersnstuff wanted to designed a pair of Pumps which could actually be worn and maintain the harsh winter elements that their home country of Sweden endures. The upper on the Pump features a combination of nubuck and wool with hiking-style lace hooks which would normal appear on boots. Slightly accenting upper without taking away from the quality craftsmanship of the upper are hits of orange. Keeping your feet warm and dry is a Thinsulate lining with the addition of Reebok Play Dry moisture technology. The pattern included on the liner is a repeating SNS logo. Across the tongue of the sneakers alongside the Pump theres orange text which reads Alltid Redo which translates to Always Ready, the Swedish Scout motto.
The Sneakersnstuff x Reebok Pump will release on November 20th, 2009 exclusively at Sneakersnstuff with a limited availability of 31 pairs. The shoes will come with four sets of laces; dark grey, light grey, orange and an orange pair with a grey SNS pattern on it just like the inner lining has.

Reebok Pump Omni Lite ‘Dee Brown’ Re-Release
In 1991, Dee Brown of the Boston Celtics was announced as the NBA Slam Dunk Contest Winner with a stunning no-look dunk that simply amazed spectators, judges and competitors. Not only did this put Dee Brown’s name in the spotlight but it also gave Reebok a little bit of a boost when it comes to promotion due to the fact Dee won the contest wearing the Reebok Pump Omni Lite, his choice of signature sneakers and would “pump up” the sneakers before driving the lane in each round for his Dunks. That slight gesture, along with Dee winning it all at the end, was just enough for fans to instantly take a liking to the Dee Brown Pump Omni Lite.
Back in 1991 Reebok released the Pump Omni Lite ‘Dee Brown’ in a limited run of 1991 pairs in honor of Dee taking home the Slam Dunk Contest Award. Each pair was individually numbered on the back of the tongue. Fans scrambled in hopes of getting a pair but many were unlucky to snatch a pair up. Many who did get a pair when they originally released were not looking to sell them and not many popped up for sale from resellers. However, a few have started to make their way to consignment shops and online markets since sneaker collecting has become a lot more of a hobby today.
17 years later in 2008 Reebok re-released the sneakers as retro, again in a limited run. Just as they did back in 1991 the sneakers became a popular seller and sold out at retailers nationwide. Due to this being the second round of the sneakers, and there were more resellers around in ‘08 then ‘91 numerous pairs ended up for sale on eBay for slightly higher prices then retail.
Here we stand now, 18 years later, and Reebok has once again re-issued the Dee Brown Reebok Pumps. No word on exactly how many pairs have been produced but UBIQ has the black and white colorways in stock now and ready to ship for a price of $100. If you never had a chance to cop these, or are looking to pick up another pair cause yours are beat jump on this quick cause once the word gets out they will go like hot cakes.

Each of the 20 shops involved in the Pump20 project will be releasing special Reebok Pumps which the shops have personally designed, most of which use unique colorways or elements not found on the original Reebok Pump released 20 years ago. These models will be limited to a total of 31 pairs which each pair indivually numbered.
Alongside those each of the 20 boutiques will also get the Reebok Pump Bringback Edition.
