Successful persuasion often sandwiches a critique between two compliments.  First off, Solebox is clearly the winner in 2009′s collaboration count.  The problem is, their releases are often ridiculously limited (as this pair is at a scant 31 pairs).  It’s a problem made even worse because Hikmet’s design work is so excellent.  In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Reebok’s Pump, Berlin’s best known sneaker boutique put a premium touch on the classic basketball shoe.  Bungee cord laces, supple black leather, glow in the dark eyelets and memory foam on the tongue are all nice, but the light-up Pump takes this pair to a whole ‘nother level.  Anyone in central Europe around November 20th should mark the date and let us know if you can get an extra size 12.  Check out a video of the illuminated Pump in action after the jump.
