Reebok x Alife "Ballout" Pump

The Reebok Brand has done some pretty dope collaborations. Everything from the RBK artist series to Voltron Collabs to special hook-ups with boutiques (Alife & Bodega). Needless to say, the good folks at Reebok have been busy cooking up special collaborations to stay on point with the geniuses over at the swoosh and our favorite jumping/dunking man; in all his countdown pack and retro glory.

I recently picked up a pair of the Alife Court Victory Pump's and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. Even though the actual "Pump" seems to have no functional purpose, I am pleased with this bright orange, felt-laced perplexity. Time and money permitting, I will try and complete the whole Alife x Reebok Court Victory Pump collection which includes the Felt Yellow colorway, Ball Black & Neon Yellow colorway, Ball White colorway & Electric Pink colorway, hoping not to pay an arm and leg for a pair. They all originally released on Alife's web-based pop-up store for $200 apiece, and foolishly I passed on all of them and now am forced to pay resell/rape prices. The original Felt Yellow colorway is fetching in the four-digit price range alone. Maybe I can find a little hook-up though. In the meantime, I also looking forward to the Undefeated Court Victory Pump in that ill purple colorway.

Here are a couple of pics the pair I recently acquired:
