This month the Reebok Pump renaissance is in full swing with the many collaborative releases honoring the 20th anniversary of the original Pump.
The most famous player to sport the Pump was Dee Brown of the Boston Celtics who won the 1991 NBA Slam Dunk contest with a no-look Dunk wearing the Pumps.

The interesting thing about gathering 20 sneaker entities to create their own version of of a single sneaker is the diversity of ideas.
Thus far we have seen several additions to the Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary collection. Every sneaker has had its own unique flavor, making the project very interesting to follow.
Barcelona based 24 Kilates entry to the project has an interesting twist. The shop has chosen to pay respect to the original colorway, giving the sneaker a black suede base with orange accents.
The sneaker’s uniqueness is the inclusion of transparent panels on the tongue and side of the sneaker. 24 Kilates wanted to pay homage to the revolutionary design of the Pump, and thus wanted to show it in action.
The kicks will be available in very limited numbers in Barcelona on the 20th of November.
The Reebok Classic runner is the latest Reebok sneaker to get the Jean-Michel Basquiat treatment.

The kicks are expected to release before the end of the fourth quarter of 2009.

The next Reebok The Pump 20 Anniversary Edition we would like to introduce to you is the Espionage design.
The Sydney based shop put the sneaker in a more futuristic yet contemporary design by making the top shine with a carbon-like material held in black. White components and red laces make the contrast.
Subtle highlights include the speckled black/white midsole and laces.
Again all we can say is:
If these Reebok Pumps follow the trend of other sneakers from the collection, expect them to release in late november with no more than 31 pairs available.
