Where do you begin to start with such a classic shoe?

In the early 90's Reebok had its 'Pump' and Nike had its 'Air' and locked horns to corner the basketball and cross-trainer market. There were few kids who didn't want a pair of Pumps!

The Reebok Omni Zone II was released by Reebok in 1991. This was the shoe that people may recall that the Boston Celtic rookie at the time, Dee Brown wore when he won his Slam Dunk title. He wore the Black/White-Orange colorway and pumped them up right before he commenced his winning jam! Upon completing his winning dunk, he bent forward (the crowd went silent) to deflate his shoes (to the crowd's delight!)... a magic moment for the Reebok Pump.

A rich, full-grain leather upper with its distinctive orange Basketball 'Pump' on the tongue gave a unique look to this shoe, as with most Reebok Pumps at the time. The Omni Zone contains a 'Full System' inflatable lining inside the shoes so to support the ankle, midfoot and heel, whilst the Hexalite gives added cushioning to the heel and sole areas of the foot.

According to Reebok, "The Pump System lets you surround your foot with just the right support where you need it most. Squeeze The Pump to inflate the lining inside your shoes. The more you squeeze, the better the fit. You determine what feels right. The release valve gives you complete control for a perfect fit every time."

This colorway is by far on of the rarest of the Reebok basketball Pumps released in the early 90's. It comes as if it were bought from a shop. The box is in excellent condition and the shoes are still wrapped in their original tissue paper, along with the Reebok promo booklet showcasing other Reebok Pumps for you to drool over. The shoes show absolutely NO yellowing at all despite their age.

We are proud to finally have this shoe on our website and bring it to you, we hope you enjoy this real true sneaker rarity!
