Boston Streetballers Win Big At The Biv20 Basketball Classic
Yesterday the best and toughest streetballers from Boston and NYC competed on the blacktop in the 7th annual Biv20K Blacktop Classic, a rematch between the two cities from last year’s championship game. The outdoor battle took place at the legendary courts of Ramsay Park in Boston.
Michael “Biv” Bivins (of legendary groups New Edition and Bell Biv Devoe) grew up playing outdoor basketball on the courts of Boston and created this tournament to bring “one day of peace and positivity in the hood.” The tournament remains one of the most revered local community basketball events in the Boston area.
The tournament consisted of three different games for 14 and under at 5pm, the Legends at 6pm and the 7pm rematch of the Boston Streetballers and Entertainers Basketball Classic (NY) team. The Boston team started strong by winning the 14 and under game, while NY came back strong by winning the Legends game at 6pm.
However, with the hometown advantage, the Boston Streetballers team won the last championship game and won the $20K prize, donated by Reebok Basketball.
All teams played in Reebok Basketball apparel as well as shoes from the recently launched Blacktop Retaliate collections (available at Reebok.com for $125) specifically designed for the competitive and aggressive style of play outdoors.

Reebok Classic Celebrates Instapump Fury’s 20th Anniversary
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Instapump Fury, Reebok has partnered with Sneaker Freaker magazine to produce a short film that shines a light on one of the most intriguing and polarizing footwear designs of all time.
Our story starts in Fuzhou, China, where the Instapump Fury is currently being produced. As the striking citron yellow, red and black componentry passes through the production process, it seems incongruous that this sci-fi masterpiece is now two decades old.
The film reunites two veterans of the sneaker industry who revel some of the frustrations and challenges they faced turning the complex Instapump Fury design into a legitimate performance runner.
Steven Smith penned the first sketch of the Pump Fury in his notebook. A renowned free-thinker, Smith is still highly passionate about his time working on the Instapump Fury. As he recalls of the era, “It was a no-holds barred street fight between the companies on who could come up with the most radical product!”
Shot by Alister Robbie from The Post Project, the film was directed by Sneaker Freaker magazine founder and editor, Simon ‘Woody’ Wood. With more than a decade covering the sneaker industry from his base in Melbourne, Australia, Wood relished the chance to soak up the factory experience.
A feature article in Issue 30 of Sneaker Freaker was accompanied by Wood’s report from Fuzhou. “In more than a decade of covering the sneaker industry, this was my first ‘official’ factory visit with a big-time brand. To their immense credit, Reebok were very, very cool. There was no ulterior motive or red carpet roll-out – this was purely business as usual – real sneakers being made by real people in a real factory. Who could say no to an offer like that?”
