On February 18th, Reebok has confirmed the official rerelease of its Pump Omni Zone II basketball sneaker notably adorned in ’91 by rookie high-flyer Dee Brown as he soared to a dunk contest title with his iconic “No Look” dunk, effectively catapulting “Pump” into the mainstream. Pump Omni Zone II is available from Foot Locker, Champs Sports and Reebok.com among other select local retailers beginning March 5.

On February 9, 1991, rookie point guard Dee Brown stepped onto the hardwood in front of a buzzing crowd. Approaching half court and sizing up the rim with a ball in hand and the attention of fans all over the world, what he did next would galvanize an industry-wide innovation race that forever changed the trajectory of sneaker history.

“I always planned on pumping them up before my first dunk,” commented the 12-year basketball veteran. “Not only did the “Pump” fit the shoes to my feet, but it was such a cool idea that I wanted to see how the crowd would react when I brought it to life.”

Brown set the ball on the playing surface, reached down with both hands and primed the “Pumps” on his Pump Omni Zone II sneakers, turning his head up to the crowd with a grin as he locked in his custom fit and prepared for takeoff. In that moment, as fans expressed shock and awe throughout the venue and around television sets across the globe, the unprecedented “Pump” technology became a cultural phenomenon. Brown would repeat the act prior to each of his seven dunk tries that night, including his final attempt, a signature “No Look” dunk in which he blindly jammed the ball through the basket with one arm covering his eyes. The dunk solidified Brown as only the second rookie in history (at the time) to win the contest.

Reebok’s “Pump” system was introduced on “The Pump” basketball shoe in the late ‘80s by the “Reebok Advanced Concepts” (RAC) team. Marking the brand’s true foray into basketball, “Pump” technology was the first of its kind, integrating within the shoe an inflatable chamber that enabled wearers to create their own custom fit. With the help of Dee Brown on that historic night in 1991, “Pump” would propel Reebok to the forefront of an industry-wide technology race as it gained international allure and quickly became the go-to for pro athletes the world over.

30 years later, Reebok is bringing back Pump Omni Zone II for the first time in its true high-cut design worn by Dee Brown. The silhouette is headlined by its highly-recognizable orange dimpled “Pump” button and custom-fit air bladder extending downward from a futuristic rubberized tongue. Seated atop its retro multicolor outsole is the classic black/white/orange layered upper built from the ‘90s blacktop with the game’s physicality in mind. TPU overlays advance the wearer’s quickness, while adding durability and style to the gritty design.

In honor of its enduring nostalgia and functional capabilities, in FW21, Reebok will look to reimagine “Pump” for the next generation.

Reebok’s Pump Omni Zone II (G57539, $140) is available from Foot Locker, Champs Sports and Reebok.com among other select local retailers beginning March 5.

Now in its 9th year, SCAD aTVfest 2021 was a virtual experience, bringing together professionals from all aspects of content production, including broadcast, cable, web, social media, and advertising to discuss current industry trends and showcase the best work on the small screen.

On Friday January 29th I was able to speak with the cast of A Million Little Things currently this is one of my favorite shows out right now. I discovered this amazing show last year when I was trying to find some quality TV to watch. The premise of the show is that it's set in Boston, a tight-knit circle of friends is shocked after a member of the group unexpectedly dies by suicide. The friends realize that they need to finally start living life as they cope with their loss. The title is a reference to the saying "Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things" DJ Nash does an exceptional job with the writing and casting. Add this show to your list and you have time to catch up because A Million Little Things will come back to ABC on Thursday, March 11, 2021 at 10 p.m. ET.

Check out my interview with the cast below it was definitely a good time!

Carol’s Daughter, first brought you the revolutionary Water-To-Foam shampoo last year and is now putting a spin on wash day with three NEW additions to the Wash Day Delight line. To complement the original Water-To-Foam shampoo, Carol’s Daughter released yet another first of its kind formula: the Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner. Like the shampoo, the conditioner is also blended with Aloe + Glycerin, for 5x more moisture and 10x easier detangling. Plus, now you can experience the Water-To-Foam Shampoo and Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with the original Aloe or with Rose Water. These transformative formulas cut down time on wash day so it really is love at first wash!

Since its introduction, the Wash Day Delight Water-To-Foam Shampoo has changed the game and quickly became a cult favorite with dedicated fans looking for more ways to love their wash day. Never one to hold back, Carol’s Daughter has delivered the Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with Aloe for instant moisture and tangle melting technology AND the full regimen with Rose Water for petal-soft hydration, hair blooming with shine and gentle scalp care.

“This time in quarantine has taught us a few things, like how important it is to REALLY care for our hair in between salon visits and also, how valuable time is,” explains Carol’s Daughter Founder Lisa Price. “For African-American women, when it comes to our hair, less tangles, and more moisture, shine and softness are a must. Not only do these products provide that, but they truly cut down on time during wash day so you can get back to the things that truly matter. Trust me, one wash changes everything!”

Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with Aloe + Glycerin

The jelly-to-cream formula, infused with Aloe and Glycerin transforms into a nourishing cream to envelop the hair from roots to ends, deeply condition with intense moisture and melt away tangles instantly. It easily spreads through hair, providing perfect slip so curls glide past each other, minimizing tangles, and untying knots, so you can detangle in less time. (20 fl oz)

Wash Day Delight Water-To-Foam Shampoo + Wash Day Delight Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner with Rose Water

The revolutionary Water-To-Foam Shampoo and Jelly-To-Cream Conditioner are now also available with Rose Water for a delicate cleanse and weightless hydration. Just like the original that started it all, the shampoo’s targeted applicator helps the liquid formula instantly flow through hair providing easy scalp access. It quickly rinses clean and the rose water adds a layer of hydration for happy, clean hair. (16.9 fl oz/20 fl oz)

The Wash Day Delight line is made with everything your hair will love---it’s vegan and contains no parabens or artificial colors. The new innovations are available at CarolsDaughter.com, Amazon.com, Target.com and retailers nationwide starting at $10.99.
