The Reebok Pump Omni Zone II Returns for 30th Anniversary

There are only a handful of identifiable moments in NBA history that directly influenced the success of a sneaker release. What Vince Carter’s monster Olympic dunk did for the Shox, Dee Brown did for the Reebok Omni Zone II.

During the 1991 NBA Dunk Contest, the Boston rookie stole the show from the get-go and never looked back – and it wasn’t even an actual dunk that wowed the crowd. Prior to his first dunk, Dee prepared for take-off by pausing after his warm-up, bending over to his feet, and pumping up his shoes – the Pump Omni Zone II. The stunt immediately amused the audience, while the actual dunk – a self-lobbed alley-oop reverse jam – was just the icing on the cake. Naturally, the exposure lead to a hefty on-flow of sales for Reebok, which once again cemented them as the then-premier footwear provider on the NBA hardwood.

There was, of course, another colorway, too, an alternate white option for the more traditional hooper. Now, for the silhouette’s 30th anniversary, both options will be returning starting from next month. Dee’s infamous black pairing will be available from March 5th, while the alternate white edition is yet to receive a release date.
