Basketball Contest-Themed Sneakers

Reebok Gives the Pump Omni Zone II Sneaker a Parquet Court Look

— April 14, 2022 — Lifestyle
Reebok unveils a new Parquet Court colorway that decorates its Pump Omni Zone II sneaker model. The palette is a direct celebration of the 1991 NBA Slam Dunk Contest and Dee Brown's famous no-look dunk. The palette is inspired by the athlete's time with the Boston Celtics during that season and the signature hues of the 19-time champions detail the basketball sneaker.

This can be seen in the green mesh that adorns the lace loops, the tongues, and the quarter sections. It is offset by the white side cages for a touch of contrast and black makes up most of the base foundation with leather paneling and the laces as well. The pump buttons are detailed in orange to resemble a basketball.
