Reebok's legacy in basketball footwear is primarily defined by its innovative use of the Pump technology during the 90s, bringing forth models that provided unparalleled performance and stood out with their bold design aesthetics. Among these iconic silhouettes, the ATR Pump Vertical emerges again, this time draped in a Core Black Bold Purple colorway that pays homage to its heyday's vibrant and experimental styles.
The sneaker boasts a construction that merges nubuck, suede, and leather, showcasing a dynamic interplay of textures. The Core Black Bold Purple theme contrasts with purple adorning the leather underlays and black dominating the nubuck overlays. Teal accents on the TPU eyelets near the collar inject a splash of vibrancy, harmoniously complementing the overall design.
White elements on the laces and branding, including the Above The Rim and Reebok logos, add a crisp finish. At the same time, the iconic Pump button on the tongue retains its basketball-inspired aesthetic. A white foam midsole, accented with hints of blue and teal, sits atop a gum outsole, completing the sneaker with a classic yet fresh look.
The Reebok ATR Pump Vertical Core Black Bold Purple will release on March 8, 2024, through Reebok and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the sneaker will retail for $160. Stay tuned to the Sole Retriever mobile app for the latest information on this release, along with other upcoming sneaker drops, raffles, and news from the sneaker and streetwear scenes.
