Exclusive: The Re-Release Of The Reebok Pump Twilight Zone

A Sandy Dover Creative Exclusive

One of the most popular Pump basketball shoes of all time, the Reebok Pump Twilight Zone was made famous by the “Human Highlight Film” Dominique Wilkins. One of the best dunkers in NBA History, Wilkins and Reebok Classics have teamed up to bring back this legendary 90’s model in a limited way. Taking retro to a whole new level, some of the biggest names in music today have adopted this style including the Boss himself, Rick Ross.

Feature: Meet The Press – Reebok Classics at PROJECT

By Sandy Dover for CounterKicks

“PROJECT — a mysterious word that usually relates the construction of a product not yet finished. I had no idea what PROJECT meant in regards to its New York and Las Vegas connections, and I honestly wasn’t sure what I was being invited to, but as chance had it, I was given access to attend the event (with the gracious blessings of John Brilliant and Yale Schalk) and Reebok happened to be the company to send for me — boy, did they send a message.”

On Monday, Reebok Classics held a press conference at the Project Trade Show in Las Vegas to reintroduce just a few iconic golden era sneakers they have queued up to drop this year like the Pump Twilight Zone, Question, ES22, and Kamikaze II. Of course they had a little help from Dominique Wilkins, Allen Iverson, Swizz Beatz, Tyga and Rick Ross, who sat side by side on stage to field questions in front of a huge mosaic of Reebok ads from way back. Journalist and CounterKicks correspondent Sandy Dover was in the front row to take it all in, including candid shots of those Reebok retros you’ll be seeing soon enough. So cycle through all the pics he took for you below and make sure to follow him on Twitter @San_Dova for killer industry tweets.
