Pump technology — a fit-altering system that inflates the shoes to provide wearers with a more comfortable fit — is one of the most advanced innovations to ever spring from the Reebok design team. One way that the Boston sportswear imprint celebrates this invention is by lending it to other models. We’ve seen it appear on the Question Mid and get incorporated into Reebok’s running line with models like the ZPump Fusion, and now it’s being embedded into the classic Club C 85.This latest lifestyle amalgamation is crafted with a “Cloud White” leather base and features notes of “Vector Blue” accents that are sprinkled towards a the collars in the form of a curvy strip and the interior sides of the tongues, both of which are dressed up with diamond patterns. The tongues are remixed with a heftier build and feature the iconic Pump button the center that wearers can use to adjust their fit. If you pop over to the heels, you’ll notice that they’ve been styled with “Reebok Pump” spell-outs to formerly nod to its fit-enhancing capabilities.These are currently available via Reebok retailers in Asia, but sit tight to see when these will be dropping stateside.Elsewhere in sneaker news, JJJJound officially announces its third Reebok Club C collaboration.

adidas and Yohji Yamamoto have just unveiled an all-new Water Slide silhouette — and the model is soon to be available in two colorways of black and white.The trend of slip-on styles is continuously growing. From the leisure-focused adiFOM Superstar and Adilette Clogs to the more technically-inclined designs of the HYPERTURF Adventure and ULTRABOOST DNA, adidas is always looking for fresh ways to make its footwear mainline more comfortable, convenient, and innovative.This has been encapsulated perfectly in Y-3’s latest Water Slides. Coming with a handcrafted and minimal design, the silhouette takes an overall nod to adidas’ classic Adilette slides, while the EVA footbed is also crafted with intentional irregularities on top. What’s more, is that the sole is hit with Yohji’s signature and hand-stitched thread is attached to the polyurethane upper and cushioned footbed.You can take a closer look at the new adidas Y-3 Water Slides above and they will be available to shop via the official adidas website from April 7 for £160 GBP (approx. $200 USD).In other footwear news, take a look at New Balance’s latest 991 pack.

New Balance is continuing to push fresh iterations of its 991 silhouette and now the sneaker is available in two new colorways of “Bruschetta” and “Ponderosa Pine.”Recently, New Balance’s 991 has been short of collaborative efforts. And while the shoe has been complemented with an impressive take from JJJJound, the silhouette is rarely reinterpreted by external parties, in comparison to the 2002R and 550 silhouettes.However, with this being said, the latest 991 release sees New Balance apply its Made in UK quality to the new iterations. Crafted with hairy suede exteriors, both sneaker designs also feature a “White/Tan” sole. Additionally, the “Bruschetta” colorway has been hit with firey overlays, with the “Ponderosa Pine” version taking on a deep green color scheme, reminiscent of the natural greenery that surrounds New Balance’s Made In UK Flimby-based hub.Rounding off the designs, both sneakers feature navy blue New Balance branding on the tongues, heel tabs, and customary “N” logo on the lateral walls, while both insoles take on a clean white hue.You can take a closer look at the latest New Balance 991 pack above and it is available to shop via the official New Balance website now.In other footwear news, take a look at the latest New Balance 650 iteration.
