Reebok Pump20 Anniversary Collection – Europe

Aaron Hope — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:00:49 +0000

Last but certainly not least (right in the middle, actually, with six entries) in our extensive look at Reebok’s 20th Anniversary Pump collaborations is Europe. We’ll start with the most recent revelation, Patta’s khaki-coloured gumdrop that might be the truest expression of this shoe’s basketball roots. 24 Kilates goes with a simple black and white design that stays close to its roots and maximizes the signature orange pump.

Another (goofy) nod to the golden days of The Pump is a pair of OGs only available in size 20. Solebox’s version evokes another popular shoe from that time with its light-up Pump, while colette uses a grey jersey that reminds us of Reebok’s aerobics gear. Completing the group is another grey drop, the pixelated Hanon design. Only 31 pairs of each when they drop, so you better get your EuroRail passes in order. via SF

Nike Air Max 90 – Black – Grey – Yellow @ JD Sports

Aaron Hope — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:00:45 +0000

LIVESTRONG releases from Nike this year have put a vicegrip on black/yellow just like ‘Chicago’ did with white/black/red or how most things you see in purple/gold remind you of ‘Lakers’. While this effect is undoubtedly a benefit to the cause of crushing cancer, it might lead to some confusion over these latest Nike Air Max 90s. While they’re not endorsed by Lance Armstrong or his charitable organization, they do look fresh with a mix of black, greys and yellow. You can grab a pair of these today, only from JD Sports.

SneakersnStuff x Reebok Pump – 20th Anniversary Collection – New Images

Aaron Hope — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:00:58 +0000

SneakersNStuff has been as busy as anybody in Europe lately, collaborating with adidas and Reebok on two pairs of fuzzy grey kicks. This is the latter, of course, their contribution to the 20th Anniversary of The Pump. Their teasers showed us a bunch of grey shades, and now we get a sense of how the wool and suede design comes together. No fewer than five shades of grey give way to an explosion of orange on the tongue and laces, including one pair that looks to have a grey ‘SNS’ geometrical pattern. The infuriating part about these is that there are only 31 pairs, but if you’re first in line on November 20th, feel free to grab an extra size 12 for yours truly. via HB

Nike x Patta – Air Max 1 Premium TZ – White/Purple

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:00:52 +0000

Nike and Patta seem to be collaborating on not one but two different Air Max 1 Premium sneakers that are hitting retailers this month. The first we showed you was the White and Chlorophyll colorway that is a Quickstrike release at select Nike Sportswear accounts worldwide. This second colorway is similar to the Chlorophyll in that the materials used are almost identical however instead of Chlorophyll, Purple is used as a replacement. The team at Patta wanted to pay homage to the original Air Max sneaker from Nike that was released in 1987 and designed by the infamous Tinker Hatfield but make it more “street-friendly”, thus Purple Denim, canvas, and nubuck was used while keeping the color blocking similar to the original Air Max 1. These White and Purple Nike x Patta Air Max 1 Premium TZ sneakers are available now exclusively at Patta in the Netherlands.

180g x Nike Sportswear Paris – Tonal Dye Pack

Aaron Hope — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:30:51 +0000

Paris is widely regarded as the fashion capital of the world, so as part of their opening at the ‘Librarie’, Nike Sportswear employed local dyemakers 180g to freshen up some of their lifestyle models. Tonal editions of the Flytop, Tennis Classic, and newcomer Nike Flash look quite sophisticated. Meanwhile, what looks to be a nylon Dunk High in bright turquoise compliments a range of electrically-hewn NSW garb and implies we’ll see a brighter side of this collection, possibly come spring. As for now, the more conservative joints will be dropping next Thursday, November 5th at 180g, with additional pairs to sell at NikeParis.

Nike Classic Rival EU – Black – Pink – Red

Aaron Hope — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:30:55 +0000

With all this Rivalry Pack stuff in the air, it’s easy to forget about the Nike Classic Rival EU. It has the look of several classic Swoosh runners, and maybe even the Nike SB Zoom Tre AD. Air Max 95 inspiration is clear the moment you see ‘r’ and ‘m’ combined on the ‘airmax’-emblazoned toe, but then again on the outer heel in a quadrilateral that screams ‘Air Max 90′. Meanwhile, Air 180 makes an appearance with its distinctive all-the-way-down Air bubble. Typically an European exclusive, who cares about national heritage when you can cop these black beauties from NikeStore. via SF

Nike Air Max Light – Dark Grey – Metallic Silver – Orange

Aaron Hope — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:00:01 +0000

Were it not for the internet, many sneakerheads wouldn’t even know what the Nike Air Max Light looks like. You could also argue that the sub-culture wouldn’t be as big without the ‘net, but that’s another argument. What is clear is that this latest pair looks dope in greys, silver and orange. It’s sort of like a washed out version of the black and infrared palette we just saw on an Air Max 90 Current, and is currently available from England’s Size?
