Get Pumped For Pumps

Reebok Pump Victory II ($120)

Few kicks elicit the pure nostalgic euphoria of “pumping up” a pair of Reebok Pump Court Victory IIs until your thumb and feet are numb. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Pump—the greatest advance in inflation technology since the blowup doll—Reebok is reissuing the originals. It’s the same shoe tennis star Michael Chang wore in a 1989 ad, launching many a crime spree to nab the $170 shoes. Couldn’t afford the status symbols then? Now’s your second chance. Be quick: These bring-backs are a limited release. You don’t want to leave the store rocking L.A. Gear again, do you?
