Sneaker Files co-owner Steve Kluback sat down with Paul Litchfield, the founding father of the Reebok Pump, to discuss the technology’s 20-year history. Originally released in 1989, Pump technology has been worn by sports legends such as Dominique Wilkins, Dee Brown, and Michael Chang, and continues to remain relevant and exciting in the modern sneaker industry. Recently, the Pump has stirred excitement with it’s 20th Anniversary Collection that released at select collaborative boutiques today.

Although UNDFTD hasn’t given us much to work with for their collaboration with Reebok on the Pump 2o project, UNDFTD will host a release party for the UNDFTD x Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary shoe. The party will take place November 20th at the Undefeated Silverlake location. From the minimal closeup of the collaborative shoe, the Pump dons a black/yellow colorway, using boot-like materials to give it a tough look. A detailed look is sure to release soon so stay tuned!

The latest to collaborate on Reebok’s 20th Anniversary Pump project is San Francisco’s very own Huf. The Huf x Reebok Pump 20 features a dark black and blue upper, contrasted by bright yellow laces and a white midsole. The speckled midsole gives the shoe some flavor, along with the yellow bubble panel. The bright yellow against the dark upper makes us speculate if Huf took some inspiration from the Lightning Nike Dunk Pro SBs. Whatever the case, these Pumps definitely do the two names justice. These will release November 21st at Huf on Hayes Street, limited to a quantity of 31, each individually numbered as usual.

To sort out the crazy demand for the 20th anniversary Reebok Pumps by Bodega, the Boston, MA, based store will hold a random lottery to give 31 lucky consumers a piece of Pump history. Saturday, November 21st, Bodega will release the Bodega x Reebok Pump 20 Outback for a retail of $2o0, each individually numbered and specially packaged in an army-style ammo box, complete with a matching shirt and dog tag. Tickets can be picked up at the store in Boston, or for those out-of-state, they can mail an envelope to Bodega by 6pm on November 21st. Be sure to remember not to camp out in front of the store, on pain of “smashed folding chairs and iPhones held for ransom.” Let’s hope lady luck grants you your very own pair of Bodega Pumps.

Just yesterday we brought you a look at what sneaker boutique Bodega could do with the Reebok Pump silhouette. Well, the iconic shoe’s 20th anniversary celebration continues with the pair pictured here, which was worked on by the Hanon squad, which is a shop located in the UK. The result is a sort of “cool grey” colorway that sports more than three shades of grey with red and white accents throughout. This Reebok Pump 20’s upper consists of a mix of suede and nubuck material, while the tongue is made primarily of mesh. These seem primed to release on November 19, 2009 from the overseas Hanon shop, but only 31 have been produced. How does this Reebok Pump 20 collaboration rank among the ones we’ve seen previously?

In Spring of 2008, we here at SneakerFiles brought you word of a collaboration between the sneaker boutique Bodega and the Reebok squad. Last year, that team-up resulted in an attractive Omni Lite Pump. Now, both sides are once again coming together, this time to celebrate the iconic Reebok Pump’s 20th anniversary. This “Outback” Reebok Pump will release from the Boston-located boutique on November 21, 2009 starting at 11am. Sporting military green and camouflage netting, each individual pair is numbered and comes with coded details. Let us know how you feel about this release after the jump, where you can also check out more pix.
