Lang and Russ are unraveling the wild rollercoaster ride of the Reebok Pump. Now, we're talking serious bucks – this shoe hit the market with a bang, sporting a price tag that towered a whole $100 above its competitors. These kicks weren't just a heavy pricetag; they were bulky beasts on your feet.
