Reebok Omni Lite - Dee Brown


These Omni Lite's from Reebok were released in November 2008, so this isn't new news, however this pic from http://extrabutterny.com is the first time I've seen the Dee Brown innersole. The colourway was basically a reversal of the original black / white / orange, and was limited to 1991 pairs. Dee Brown gave the Omni Lite a lot of exposure during the 1991 dunk comp when he paused to pump up his shoes before a dunk. The shot on the innersole is taken from his final round 'no look' dunk. While this was a great dunk contest, I still think Shawn Kemp should have beaten Dee Brown. Back in high school I could do Dee Brown's no-look dunk myself, so have never found it that impressive. Decide for yourself by checking out each of their dunks here -
