If there was a starting five for basketball kicks, the Reebok Pumps would be the perfect power forward. Sleek enough to run the floor but eye-catchingly powerful, like a body-to-body banger on some unworthy opponent.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Pump, Reebok teamed up with Sneaker giants like A-Life, Bodega and atmos, to release new designs for the iconic classics on November 20th.

Puerto Rico endured a loss against Brazil in the 2009 FIBA Americas Championship title match last Sunday, yet still qualified for the 2010 FIBA World Tournament with the Silver Medal finish. PR’s Guillermo Diaz showcased his true abilities during the game. From shooting threes outside of the perimeter or showing his vertical from alley-oops by teammates, Guillermo made his presence known. The former Miami Hurricane led that school in scoring as a sophomore and junior, earning him the opportunity to be drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Stephane Ashpool, owner of Pigalle and member of the Pain O choKolat crew, was given the honor to artistically design a court located around the same place he spent his childhood. He commissioned Yué “NYNO” Wu to draw figures such as special guest Lebron James, Michael Jordan, Spike Lee, and Jay-Z. Ashpool chose the Venice Beach inspired turquoise, salmon, and burgundy color scheme. The court has wooden and copper backboards, metal nets hanging off silver hoops, and paint splatters in the d. Stephane Ashpool has certainly outdone himself with this one of a kind court.
