Did you get a 30th Anniversary re-release pair of the Reebok Pump Omni Zone 2's, aka the "Dee Browns" yesterday at midnight? They sold out in about an hour, and I've seen listings all day on ebay for 2x-3x the selling price. Got me a pair of sz 12's after refreshing the page for about 10 minutes.

It's the most popular colorway of these shoes. And whether you know it or not, these are one of only a handful of all time elite sneakers you can refer to by just one word. Jordans, Dunks, Pumps. They're iconic, but if you're under, oh I don't know, like 36 years old I wouldn't expect you to realize their significance. Shaquille O'Neal's signature basketball shoe was a pump. Allen Iverson had a pump model. Tennis great Michael Chang had his own pump model.

And Reebok seems to like to reissue these on years with a "5". They had a reissue on their 20th anniversary, a reissue on their 25th anniversary, etc. I've never been able to cop a pair in the past because of money or life situations, but this time on their 30th I finally got one. It's arguably Reebok's most famous shoe they've ever made, of all time, and these black "Dee Brown's" are the most famous colorway.

Before the reissue was announced, I would periodically check to see if there were any of these on sale somewhere, and every time I would encounter ebay listings like "Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary reissues - $500". They are up there with Jordan's when it comes to evoking strong nostalgic feelings upon seeing them.

What are you, 12 years old? Well guess what, no one likes you. Everyone says you're ugly and weird.

They're sick, and also the Illini are one of the best bball teams in the country. Perfect time to release the Dee Browns.

I wish they would have rereleased the original pump. Atleast they didn't retro these as omni lites.

If I walked into the room and put a fedora and a baseball hat in front of you, and I turned my back, the fedora would be missing when I turned back around, yeah, I get it.
