Everyone has Jordans, but who has Dee Browns?

The 2009 NBA All Star weekend in Phoenix will have highlights on the court for hoop fans and off the court for sneaker heads. Reebok is releasing 360 pairs of the “Dee Brown” Pump Omni Lite to commemorate Dee Brown's Slam Dunk Contest win and is the model that Dee wore when he pumped up and won the slam dunk contest in 1991.

The shoe bears a striking resemblance to the original model but has some updated features as well. The inside of the tongue has the logo of the front and back of Brown’s Celtics jersey, around the collar there is a picture of the old Boston Garden and the sock liner mimics the hallowed Garden parquee floor.

The launch will take place on Valentine’s Day at Shiekh's Arizona Mills location and Dee Brown will be in the building.
