Throughout the past couple of weeks we have been featuring all sorts of previews and pictures of the Pumps part of Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary Collection, also known simply as Pump20. Each of the 20 Pumps in the collection all feature some very unique and stylish designs and do to the hype surrounding them a few other Pump styles have released other the radar, such as this Reebok Pump Omni Lite designed in collaboration with X-LARGE.

The sneakers are not part of the Pump20 collection, however they are still another tribute to the 20years since the Pump technology has been introduced. For the collaboration with X-LARGE on the Pump Omni Lite the duo went with a white and black colorway which features mostly white leather on the front half and lace area of the sneakers with black leather and black nubuck holding down the mid section and heel area. The plastic pieces on the upper have a gradient effect which goes from white to black making the sneakers appear as if the whole upper has a gradient design. XL and Reebok branding on both included on the heel section of the shoes with XL in a dark shade of blue and Reebok in an eye catching light blue.

If your a true Pump fanatic, such as DJ Senatore, the worlds largest Reebok Pump collector with over 160+ pairs, and your not just caught up in the hype of the whole Pump20 campaign, you can pick up these Pumps now through X-LARGE.

Within the coming weeks Nike will be dropping two brand new colorways of the Court Force as part of their Holiday 2009 collection. Each of the two sneakers use three-tone colorways with one pair in grey/black/red and the other in white/black/blue. A grid pattern which has been included into the Court Force in the past is seen around the ankle of shoes. The grey/black/red pair in my opinion is pretty dope, i could do without the grid pattern but the general color scheme reminds me of the Yeti Nike Dunks.

How ironic is this. I just so happen to be wearing a Commonwealth fitted, at the time in which im presenting to you some photos of the Commonwealth x Reebok Pumps.

These buttery soft Pumps feature a suede upper in light grey with silver 3M on the tongue and tongue box. A darker shade of grey appears on the heel cap and a portion of the mid-sole with the rest of the sole unit in white. As for accent colors there really are now within the upper besides for the various shades of greys and silver creating bit of a contrast. The accenting colors actually come in the form of 4 pairs of shoe laces which allow you to mix and match to your desired color choice. Finishing off the shoes is a C’MON hit on the release value and a Commonwealth Pump keychain tag.

As you may have heard LeBron James has been mentioning that he plans to retire his #23 next year in honor of Michael Jordan. LeBron personally feels that Jordan’s number should of been retired due to the fact he believes MJ is the greatest athlete the NBA has ever seen. Since the NBA didn’t retire Jordan’s number, even after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this year, LeBron has been saying he’s going to retire his own number 23 and do something the NBA should of done from the get go. If he sticks to his guns LeBron will take the court next year in wearing #6, the number he wore during the 2008 Olympics.

The other day on All-Access MJ gave Ahmad Rashad a call to wish him a happy birthday and during their brief conversation Ahmad asked Jordan what his opinion was about LeBron James saying he is going to retire his number in Michael honor.

Out of the 20 boutiques part of the Reebok Pump 20 campaign there was one which many of us were not all to familiar with, and that would be Kasina which is based in Korea. Although not as popular internationally at some of the other shops we are told Kasina is the premium retailer in Korea for sneakers, clothing, accessories and much more, so it no wonder Reebok reached out to the team at Kasina to have them get down on this exclusive project to honor the 20th Anniversary of the Pumps.

The Kasina x Reebok Pump 20 features a cherry red patent leather upper, black croc material wrapping around the toe with further use of black accents on the Pump release value and on a portion of the heel. Light blue accents appear on the actual Pump unit itself, on the shoelaces, part of the outsole, on the included keychain tag and the the Reebok branding on the plastic heel piece. Sitting on top of the black croc material is the Kasina logo embroidered in red.

The Kasina x Reebok Pump 20 is set to drop on November 20th, 2009 in a limited run of 31 pairs. Click here now to check out a few more shots of the sneakers at the same angle just in different locations.
