There was a time a long long ago…actually it was just the 90s which for teenagers was a lifetime before yours but for me it was my high school days. When Jay-Z was just a tag along not ever mentioned in even top 10 rappers around and the idea that people preferred Reebok and their dunking crew of Shaq, Kemp & Nique over Nike wasn’t as crazy as it sounds nowadays. BUT, with soon to be superstar John Wall rocking with Reebok we might see some return to glory for the creators of the Pump. Let’s look back at my favorite Reebok ads.
