ZPump Rise Looks To Change The Shoe Game On The Court
We are almost ready for the start of the NBA season. Are you ready? Reebok is! They will be releasing a game changing shoe tomorrow. Reebok’s patented Pump technology takes 360-degree custom fit back to the court with a true performance basketball sneaker.
Just like the game has evolved since the 90’s, so has one of Reebok’s most iconic technologies in sport. The ZPump Rise is unlike any other basketball shoe because it uses only 3 key lightweight parts to deliver high performance features and wearable comfort.
The fusion compression sleeve offers a seamless and irritation-free upper to enhance any modern basketball player’s game, and an internal mesh bootie lends superior ankle support with that tailored personalized feel. But what makes this sneaker stand out from the rest is the fully customizable Pump Air-Cage that provides the foot with a locked-in custom fit and added support.
The ZPump Rise will drop in three different packs through the rest of the year and the first “Cloud Pack” is set to launch tomorrow on Thursday, October 15th, with 2 colorways of the ZPump Rise – Dark Royal/White and Black/White.
For $124.99, you can grab them at Reebok.com or Finish Line.

Russell Athletic Asks You To Fight Like Dylan
Last month Russell Athletic started up with their fifth annual “Fight Like Dylan Award” campaign that honors high school teams that have demonstrated inspiring determination and perseverance through sports. And who better to lead the panel of judges than former NFL Head Coach Tony Dungy.
Along with Dungy a group of judges will select one recipient to receive a $50,000 grant in athletic apparel and sports equipment for their school. If you know someone who deserves recognition go to FightLikeDylan.org.
Last year’s “Fight Like Dylan Award” recipient was Shoreham-Wading River High School in Shoreham, New York, which honored fallen teammate Tom Cutinella who embodied the spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship. Tom rallied the team around the idea of being the Long Island Champions. Through his inspiration, the Wildcats finished 10-0 and won the Long Island title.
“This is truly a program that is near and dear to my heart,” said program spokesperson Tony Dungy. “I am so proud to partner with Russell Athletic, Dylan’s family, and the previous recipients to celebrate these great stories of teams coming together to overcome tragedy and hardship.”
For those who don’t know of Dylan Rebeor’s story here is some background on the courageous young man. In 2010, he was diagnosed with cancer, but after becoming ill, his commitment to his team never wavered. His final wish was for his team to receive new uniforms for the upcoming season through the “Make A Wish Foundation”.
The “Fight Like Dylan Award” was established by Russell Athletic in conjunction with Dylan’s family and coaches to not only grant that wish, but to celebrate other teams facing adversity and turning it into a powerful story of success through teamwork.
“Dylan had an extraordinary life and always inspired others while dealing with difficult circumstances,” said Heather Rebeor, Dylan’s mother. “We’re so proud that Dylan’s memory and spirit will live on through the Russell Athletic ‘Fight Like Dylan Award.’”
