Toned up in a Houston Rockets-inspired patent red/white color scheme, this unique pair of Reebok Pump Showstoppers was manufactured for the exclusive in-game use of 7’6 Yao Ming. The shoe is distinguished by the brand’s Vector insignia along the middle panel and PUMP technology out back that allows for a customizable fit when playing. Yao’s first name and number, “Yao11” is inscribed on the heel overlay. You can bid on these size 18.5 skis on eBay here. Click after the jump for a variety of hi-resolution images.

Before Reebok signed Shanghai product Yao Ming to an exclusive contract that would allow for limitless marketing potential in densely populated China, the 7’6 center flirted with brands from across the industry, trying to find the perfect fit. Yao’s extensive negotiations led to Adidas fabricating a one-of-one look- see sample of the high-rising adidas Instinct with his name stitched across the ankle. The shoe is toned up in Houston Rockets poppyseed red and sunshine yellow and features the brand’s trefoil logo inscribed on the heel and mesh accents on the sneaker’s lateral side midpanel. This size 17 model is for sale on the ‘Bay for less than $200.

Despite seeing several Summer 2008 Olympic Games based sneakers coming from all the major sneaker companies, we get yet another look at the Reebok Omni Pump designed for Chinese superstar Yao Ming.

Of course following the traditional Chinese appearance, a red and gold color-way is complimented by a Chinese dragon design. However, getting your hands on these won’t be as easy as you think, only 5 shops will be offering the sneakers globally. Available now at Undefeated.
