Today we take a trip back to 2004. The premier edition Reebok Pump is a sneaker legend. Extra High top, 2004 was the first year this shoe saw a retro.Sales of the shoe were so stale in 2004 you wondered if Reebok would ever bring them back, and luckily for us they did. In late 2009, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the pump, Reebok brought this shoe back in all its original glory (even the original box design). The 20th anniversary edition is much more true to the original than the 2004 release in terms of all around shape although both are almost dead on. The toe box on the 2009 version resembles the original much more closer than the 2004 version. The 2004 version’s pump mechanism works better, and the 2009 version has more padding. Going a half size up is recommended. Below are pictures of the 2004 retro that was not re-issued in 2009. Pictures are from the DeFy. New York Photo Vault enjoy!
