24 Kilates x Reebok Pump
Day by day a different shop involved in the Reebok Pump20 project has released either some previews or a full on shot of the Pumps which they have designed. The latest to present the community with some images is 24 Kilates from Barcelona, Spain, the shop responsible for a pretty popular New Balance 1700 design that i was dying to get my hands on and never did.
24 Kilates opted to use one of the two original colorways debuted on the Reebok Pump 20years ago for their version, the black/white/orange color scheme. However, instead of using black leather for the construction of the upper 24 Kilates swapped in some buttery smooth black suede. That simple change was just not enough in itself though. From there some ideas were thrown around and the idea came about to show the world the innovation technology that makes up the Pump unit. Translucent paneling has been added into the upper and tongue to allowing consumer to see inside parts of the sneakers and actually view how the Reebok Pump Technology works.
The 24 Kilates x Reebok Pump will be released exclusively on November 20th, 2009 only at 24 Kilates. Click here to check out more pictures of the sneakers.
Espionage x Reebok Pump
We know a lot of you are patiently awaiting to see pictures of the rest of the Reebok Pumps designed in honor of the 20th Anniversary of the Pump. Out of the twenty shops taking part in this project we have so far taken a look at eight. Now we’re gonna follow up with number nine here, a Pump designed by the Sydney, Australia boutique Espionage.
The Espionage x Reebok Pump is dressed nicely with a combo of smooth black leather and glossy patent leather carbon fiber. To break the black up a bit accents of white were added in, along with a slight touch of red. According to reports from SneakerFreaker the white mid-sole includes a glow-in-the-dark speckle pattern in white which is invisible to the naked eye when its not in its glowing state. Wrapping up the sneakers, and making sure you know who is responsible for this design is a pair of Espionage lace locks, a small red Espionage tag on the upper, a keychain with the boutiques name and logo, and the name once again printed across the heel.
No official release date has been announced at this time for Espionage x Reebok Pump, however numerous shops involved in this project will be releasing their limited supply on November 20th, 2009, so you should be able to expect a release around then.

Reebok Pump Friends & Family Edition
Having all the right connections in the sneaker industry opens the door to many things that many people would die for. One of the many advantages of course is getting sneakers extremely early, or getting sneakers which will never be released to the general public. One such person who has connections like this, as you should all know by now is DJ Clark Kent.
One of the latest pickups which DJCK got is a Reebok Pump designed in honor of the Pump20 campaign which honors and celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the Reebok Pump. There is nothing all to special about the design compared to previous models we have seen. They use one of the OG colorways originally used on the Pump when it debuted, which is something we have seen on one of the Size? x Reebok Pump models.
However, what makes these sneakers rare and unique is the fact that the general public cant get them and on the back of the tongue theres a tag which states “Friends & Family Edition” and “You have received 00″. Limited releases like these are always a must have among collectors and with the sneakers clearly stating “Friends & Family Edition” you already know these bad boys could fetch some high figures on the bay.

Stolen Riches x Reebok Pump Preview
And the Reebok Pump previews continue, this time coming from the only Canada based boutique to take part in the Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary Collection, Stolen Riches holding it down in Toronto. Along with being the only shop in Canada to take part in the project this is also the first collaboration for Stolen Riches involving a major brand such as Reebok.
Due to the harsh winters Canada usually encounters Stolen Riches decided to design their version of the Reebok Pump with a style that could be worn in the mist of a cold and snowy winter. There will be no worries when wearing these during the rough elements of the winter as the grey pinstripe upper has been teflon treated to repeal water and snow, and the inner lining is constructed from red leather to ensure a snug and warm fit. Making sure your feet dont get to warm though and start to sweat is a black perforated leather tongue. Upon their release the sneakers will included three pairs of laces; black, red and yellow, and will come with two Reebok keychains, one which has Reebok branding with the Stolen Riches logo and another which resembles the yellow Reebok Pump unit with the area code of Toronto (416) printed on it along with a silhouette of the CN Tower.
At this time no official release date for the Stolen Riches x Reebok Pump have been announced, however the collection is set to start releasing on November 20th, 2009, so you should expect a releasing soon after that. Just like all the other Pumps in this collection this pair will be limited to 31 pairs.

Atmos x Reebok Pump Preview
Seeing as how we are now officially in November and the release of the Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary Collection is nearing more and more shops involved in the project are coming forward with previews or detailed photos of the Pumps they have designed. Offering us a little bit of a teaser for now when it comes to their Reebok Pump design is Atmos Japan.
From what we can see by the preview the Atmos x Reebok Pump sports a black leather base with plenty accents of purple and what appears to be a neon green speckle on certain portions. Knowing Atmos Japan, and how they love to included glow-in-the-dark features in a lot of their designs we are led to believe that those neon green speckles on the black base could possibly have a GITD effect to them. Until further details and pictures arise though we cant be to certain just yet so make sure you stay tuned for further details.
Watch for the Atmos x Reebok Pump to officially release on November 20th, 2009
Solebox x Reebok Pump – A Closer Look
Hikmet from Solebox, known as the “collaboration king” by us here at Sneaker Obsession has provided us with somewhat of a closer look at the extremely limited Solebox x Reebok Pump which will be releasing in the near feature. The shoes sport a black/grey/yellow color scheme with an upper constructed from soft gloving leather, a tongue made from neoprene, and a black memory foam inner lining. Although the sneakers may appear to be somewhat of a simple design there is actually more then what meets the eye at first glance. The Reebok Pump unit features the use of a light which can be turned on and off by a hidden switch incorporated into the tongue of the shoes. Theres also some glow-in-the-dark features included into the design with the yellow plastic pieces glowing at night.
