Let’s start with 24 Kilates. Located in Barcelona, Spain, 24 Kilates took an innovative approach to their Pump 20. They didn’t venture too far from the OG black Pump colorway. Instead, they mixed it up by removing the leather from the tongue and side panels and replacing it with translucent plastic. That made the Pump’s air bladder almost completely visible. Thus, the wearer could actually watch the air bladder fill up as they pumped. Awesome.
The 24 Kilates x Reebok Pump 20 dropped on November 20, 2009. SneakerFreaker interviewed Pol of 24 Kilates and covered their release party. Click here to check that out.
