As the Insta Pump Fury goes, this one is relatively toned down. No Tiger Camo, like the last Insta Pump we saw. That said, it still manages to incorporate the Insta Pump, Hexalite cushioning, 3M detailing, and a carbon fiber plate instep plate. This is the 20th anniversary edition of the Insta Pump Fury, so Reebok clearly wanted to stay true to the roots of it’s wild child hybrid trainer. Back in 1990, this was the height of technology; clearly, it still works 20 years later. Finished with a heavily ventilated upper, a super-flexible outsole, and a metal hang tag. via: The Good Will Out.

Freshness Magazine was on hand for a monumental event for North Jersey’s Packer Shoes release of their version of the Reebok Pump 20. Packer may have had the most exciting release of all the Pump 20 stores because of the presence of the man who was the inspiration for their design of their sneaker–Dominique Wilkins. After ‘Nique signed sneakers and posters, he said his goodbyes to fans who came out for the event and then sat down for a brief interview with Freshness Magazine. Here is the transcript from the interview:

Basketball and sneaker fans camped out for almost 24 hours in anticipation of the release of Packer Shoes’ version of the Pump20. Unlike many of the other versions of the Pump20 that were hand-crafted by retailers across the world, the Packer model is an homage to the heritage of the game and the man who inspired the design–Domique Wilkins. Mr. Wilkins was on hand to sign sneakers, boxes, and posters for the lucky 31 people who were able to get a pair. Packer also released 29 pairs of the original colorways of the pump in black and white and white and blue.

Some things are more fantastic super-sized, and U.K.’s sneaker retailer, size?, will pump in agreement. While the pictures may not look like anything out of the ordinary, one thing the detailed pictures don’t translate is the impressive proportions of these Reebok Pumps.
For Reebok’s Pump 20th Anniversary European releases, size? took a play on its own label and reworked itself into the original Pump colorways of black/white and white/navy. Rather than redesigning the shoe, size? amplified the Pumps to a whooping size 20. With one colorway on each foot, the mixed and matched pair is more of a collectible than something to wear on the streets. While these super-sized kicks will launch tonight promptly at 8PM at size? Neal Street, the retailer also participated in Reebok’s Pump N’ Seek hunt. Check out the last few clues to hop on the last chance for some exclusive Pumps and score invites to the exclusive Pump 20 Party in London. Clear out your closet for these gargantuan pumps– we are certain Morgan Spurlock will be proud your super-sized items are not fries from the golden arches. via: Sneaker Freaker

As previously shown, while New York City’s A.R.C kept their collaborative Reebok PUMP 20th Anniversary Edition Pump clean in an all-over off-white suede upper, the retailer down south on the east coast, Commonwealth, keeps things streamlined as well but in grey.
For Virginia’s Commonwealth’s contribution to Reebok’s global celebration of the 20th birthday of its iconic Pump basketball shoe, the retailer crafted their entry in tonal grey. Mixing different shades of the color on the upper with different materials (suede matched with a smooth reflective tongue and toe box), the only pops of color come from the multi-colored Commonwealth-branded laces (orange, purple, yellow, and of course, grey), and an embroidered “C’MON” rally in the heel. Looking on the inside, the kicks also feature a graphic footbed for the wearer’s personal acknowledgement and enjoyment. Subdued and thoughtful (those who are thinking about going super mellow can switch out to other laces), these kicks have an easy laid-back charm that is still well balanced with a tint of sophistication. No doubt Virginia is for lovers– sneaker lovers. via: Sneaker Freaker & Commonwealth

Taking things off stateside and moving up further north, Toronto’s Stolen Riches is repping for Canada in Reebok’s global celebration of Reebok Pump’s 20th year in the sneaker game. As the only retailer in Canada to collaborate on this worldwide sneaker fanfare, the team brought the Canadian practicality (for weather) to the table and created a pair of Pumps that will withstand harsh winters of Toronto.
Crafted from a grey pinstripe Teflon treated upper, these shoes will be appreciated when treading through slush as they repel water and snow. The folks from Stolen Riches also put in black soles to match the black accents on the upper and named the soles a befitting “Black Ice”. Meanwhile, the tongue is crafted from black leather, keeping in line in terms of material with the special red leather lining that will keep the wearer’s feet snug. Join Stolen Riches in celebration of their first major sneaker collaboration, get some free food, drinks, and of course, fresh kicks, at their PUMP 20 “The Midnight Release” party that is going down tonight at the witching hour. via: Stolen Riches

Still staying on Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary’s North America campaign trail, after previous stops at New York City’s A.R.C, San Francisco’s HUF, Boston’s Bodega, Hawaii’s Kicks-Hi, New Jersey’s Packer Shoes and so forth, the fun sweeps by Chi-Town with the city’s fine footwear destination, Saint Alfred.
Paying tribute to the prevalent hard-working blue collar middle class that makes up Chi-Town, Saint Alfred’s Pumps feature material common in work wear such as canvas, wheat colored suede (similar to those on Timberland boots), and special insoles with Saint Alfred logo printed on them. The tonal sneakers also come with a special Saint Alfred tag with the store’s logo on one side and a tag line proclaiming the “LABOR OF LOVE” on the other. As expected, only 31 pairs of these pumps will be produced and released this Friday, Nov. 20 alongside Iron Works Tees (available in two colorways). So for those who are looking to cop a pair, keep you Friday open as the shoes will be sold on a first-come-first-serve basis. Meanwhile, check out the video interview on these collab kicks! via: Saint Alfred

If there’s an occasion that involves both “sneakers” and “the world”, you can count on New York City’s quintessential A.R.C to be a part of the global fanfare. A veteran of countless sneaker collaborations and also a retailer of exquisite taste in kicks, the store is a part of Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary collaboration releases in North America.

As Reebok’s iconic Pump model celebrates its 20th birthday, the collaborative kicks with retailers around the globe are pumping out both online and soon in stores. Other than an onslaught of previous collaborations we reported with retailers such as Amsterdam’s Patta and San Franciso’s HUF, atmos Tokyo is also a part of the celebration with their very own version of Reebok Pump.

For Reebok’s global celebration of its iconic Pump’s 20th birthday, the retailers in Asia invited to this pumped up fanfare include Japan’s atmos, Hong Kong’s JUICE, Australia’s Espionage and also Korea’s Kasina. For Korea’s premium retailer Kasina, the store decided to keep its Reebok Pump cool in a fiery red patent leather upper contrasted with black and right blue accents. The black front panel is an interesting reptilian patterened leather and features the label’s portrait logo embroidered in red on the side, playing off the blue “Reebok” and “the pump” logo. Due to drop tomorrow on Nov. 20, those in Korean who are looking to get their feet into some limited edition Pumps can keep an eye out for them at Kasina. Images via: Sneaker Freaker

We showed you a sneak preview of the Packer Shoes collaboration with Reebok for the release of the Pump20, which showcases the clean lines of the shoe and fuses some Atlanta Hawks uniform colors into what could have passed for an actual signature model from 20 years back. The inspiration for the shoe was a time during the days before the internet posted up pictures of a sneaker for months before its release and players would bring out their signature shoes for the Sunday afternoon N.B.A. All-Star game. Players like Jordan would wear their new sneakers during the game to give national audiences a chance to check out the new kicks.

Reebok continues to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the PUMP with yet another collaboration with one of the original sneaker boutiques, UNDFTD, based out of Los Angeles, California. The Reebok and UNDFTD PUMP 20th Anniversary Edition comes on the heels of various other collaborations such as Patta, HUF, KICKS/HI, and more. The UNDFTD collaboraton sneaker is being called the “Raincheck” and features a classic Navy and Yellow colorway that will be released at 8 PM this Friday, November 20th, at UNDFTD Silverlake. Following the release of the shoe an after party will be held at Hyde in Los Angeles.
