UNDFTD x Reebok Pump 20 – More Previews
Eddie Cruz from Undefeated has blessed us all with some more previews of the Reebok Pumps which he has designed as part of the Reebok Pump 20 campaign. As we previously reported the UNDFTD x Reebok Pump 20 features a navy blue upper dubbed “Rain Check” due to its navy blue waterproof nylon upper. Place nicely throughout the sneakers are accents of yellow. The whole blue/yellow color scheme makes me think of the older Golden State Warriors jerseys, back during the days when Chris Webber first started playing for them.
The UNDFTD x Reebok Pump 20 will officially be releasing on November 20th, 2009 so a full shot of the sneakers should be surfacing soon so stay tuned for further updates and click here to peep the rest of the preview photos.

Today has so far brought us a preview of the UNDFTD x Reebok Pump and a shot of the Patta x Reebok Pump which we literally just took a look at. Keeping things moving with the Pumps we now have a look at the ones designed by Keith Hufnagel from HUF.
The HUF x Reebok Pump 20 features a colorway consist of navy blue and a dark teal green on an upper made from leather and patent leather. Wrapping around the ankle is what appears to be some sort of fleece material in black/grey with various patterns printed on it. Slighting highlighting the upper is a hit of neon yellow on the laces, contrast stitching along the frontal and as a single pinstripe within the fleece material. Adding a little bit more of an accent color is a white midsole which a black outsole including the use of a well spaced speckle pattern.

With only a few days left until their official release UNDFTD has supplied us with a preview up their upcoming Reebok Pumps part of the Pump 20 campaign. For their edition of the Reebok Pump UNDFTD put together a pair which they have dubbed “Rain Check” in honor of the navy blue waterproof nylon base used throughout the upper.

Reebok Omni Lite Pump ‘Lumberjack’
“Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack, with the hat to match…” That line from the 1994 hit single Juice by the late great Notorious B.I.G. always comes to mind when i see a red and black lumberjack (plaid) pattern, such as the one used throughout this Reebok Omni Lite Pump which we have personally dubbed the Lumberjack. The Omni Lite consists of an army green patent leather upper with a red/black plaid pattern on the toebox, portions of the side panels and around the ankle. Im not quite sure at this time but i believe the plaid is constructed from nylon, as is the the red tongue. To offset the design a white midsole was slapped on and black was added to the plastic pieces used on the upper.
The sneakers were officially released about two weeks and you should be able to find them at most Reebok distributors. If not pick a pair up at Karmaloop where you can save 20% off your order price by entering rep code JH17345 during checkout.
Packer Shoes x Reebok Pump 20 – Preview Pt. 2
Yesterday we got our first preview of the Packer Shoes x Reebok Pump 20 and within a few hours since then we have learned a little bit more about the sneakers and the inspiration behind them.
Dee Brown may be famous throughout the world for his no-look dunk and his “pump it up” gestures in the 1991 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, however, Dominique Wilkins was one of the very first NBA players to endorse the Pump when it was introduced in 1989. Dominique not only wore the sneakers on the court but he also appeared in Reebok Pump Commercials.
The younger crowd may not remember or may not have been old enough to remember the days when Dominique ran the courts in the Pumps so Packer Shoes has designed their Pumps in a nod to Dominique Wilkins. Only a few more preview images are being shown at this time thanks to SN but atleast we now have a better idea of what the sneakers will sort of look like color wise and the theme behind them. ‘85 and ‘90 are embroidered onto the heel of the shoes to represent the years Dominique Wilkins won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and on the backside of on of the tongues is a tag reading “Human Highlight Film”, a nickname which Dominique Wilkins received during his days on the hardwood.
Stay tuned for further detailed photos of the sneakers coming soon and click here now to check out a shot of the tongue tags on the backside of each tongue.
