With all this talk about missing the pump mechanism on a certain 180 Nike shoe, its the perfect time to take a look at another non Reebok shoe from the past that had a pump mechanism. While the name of the shoe is currently unknown, it was released under the now defunct footwear brand Aero Shoe Corporation. The company was founded in 1983 and dissolved in 1988 (according to businessprofiles.com). This running shoe featured a pump in the midsole where the user could adjust the air pressure according to his or her weight. While not as “cool” looking as the Reebok Pump instapump inflators , the Aero Shoe Corporations pump running shoe pre-dates the Reebok Pump by 6 years. Take a trip back to a time where your pumpinflator looked like a bloodpressure inflator above!
