2009 was the year of the Reebok Pump, after a slew of retros and collaborations a lesser-known silhouette has also been released, the Reebok Pump AXT Plus. Although not as popular as some other Pump models, the Reebok Pump AXT Plus is definitely a solid shoe with some nice retro design aspects. The upper features smooth black leather with some textured rubber details, as well as some gold accents on the midsole, tongue, lace holes and heel cuff. The predominantly white midsole gives some needed contrast along side the black upper. If you are interested in copping yourself a pair, they are available now through Caliroots.

Here are two new Nike Dunk High colorways for the upcoming Spring 2010 season. Both pairs feature Olympic-like color schemes. They both sport gold, navy blue and red, although one pair boasts an upper predominantly gold and the other gets totally reversed and is done up in a mostly navy blue upper. The midsoles have also been flipped, while one pair has a navy blue midsole and the other features gold. Aside from the obvious color scheme similarities, the red outsole and white side panels seems to be the major common ground between these two Nike Dunk Highs. If you want to cop either pair or even both, they are dropping February 2010 and are available for pre-order now through CT.
