As we came to a close in October we were presented with a preview of the Hanon x Reebok Pump part of the Pump20 campaign. We were left with a teaser image as well as quick video filmed in a horror movie fashion. Eventhough most of us were able to get a general idea of what the sneakers looked like in the preview video Hanon has provided us all with some detailed shots of the Pump. For their addition to the Reebok Pump20 campaign Hanon decided to go with a pretty much tonal mockup of the Pump. The upper sports a grey nubuck base with premium “shark” suede overlays and grey polypag nylon mesh on the tongue and toe-box. Alternative color accents on the upper come in the form Reebok red with a slight hit of black, both which happen to be colors used on the original Reebok Pumps 20years ago. Additional details include Reebok’s Playdry Technology applied to the inner lining (which also has an enlarged multi-color pixel/block design), a suede flocked midsole and plenty of Hanon and Pump 20 branding. Click here to check out all the detailed photos of the Hanon x Reebok Pump 20 and watch for the sneakers to be released in a limited availability of 31 pairs on November 19th, 2009.

These may not be as rugged as a real combat boot, but the “Dark Army” Nike Dynasty High QS use their dark green hue to give off a very intimidating look. Like the most previous Dynasty’s we saw, which were all grey , these use a single color for the entirety of their uppers. All leather, with the exception of the nylon padded tongue, the Dark Army green contrasts the white midsole and matches the outsole perfectly. Woven material is used for the high ankle strap and “ Nike ” appears near the ankle, also. These are available at select retailer now, but be sure to check with your local QS account holder.

Who doesn’t love options? I was approached by a sales associate at my local Saks outlet and was asked if I had seen their latest arrival, the two-in-one handbag (she must have barely spotted them). I was familiar with the style since a couple of tBFers proudly own the famous City Tote by Foley +

Yesterday Sneaker Freaker and New Balance released a viral video with Skippy the Kangaroo delivering a very important message, the release of the Sneaker Freaker x New Balance 850 which is also know as Skippy.
