These things are TALL. Like, as tall as my Blacktop Battleground 3s, and I love it! The pump seems to actually work as well, but I'll avoid playing with it too much to keep them functional. The last photo is my humble pump collection:

2023 Twilight Zone

Here's hoping more of Reeboks old pump catalog sees the light of day sooner than later. I would LOVE for the Battleground 2s to return and for a lot of the stuff that's been trapped in the archives to see re-releases in general.

They are the 2017 release, hence the shorter height and the ankle collar being painted leather instead of mesh. The 2025 release is $325+ in my size, so I opted for these instead. I'm super happy to have these and am now just waiting for my Pump TZ's to arrive.

Edit: I did not know there were two versions of this specific Omni Pump line. These are the Omni Lites, not the Omni Zone II's. Did not know when I bought them because they were listed as Omni Zones but it's whatever. I still love these regardless :)

Huge sneaker lover. I've mainly been into Nike/Jordan, but I always wanted to branch out and try other brands. As a kid, I grew up watching WWE and remembered John Cena pumping up his Omni Zone II's and always wanted a pair. Then I found out about the Blacktop Battleground's due to the photo on the right (from his RAW debut in 2005), and the rest is history. From the super tall height to the pump system, I love it all.

Scared 2 Look Down is top 5 though.
