What is a Pump Shoe?
A court shoe or pump is a shoe with a low-cut front, or vamp, with either a shoe buckle or a black bow as ostensible fastening.
Deriving from the 17th and 18th-century dress shoes with shoe buckles, the vamped pump shape emerged in the late 18th century.

What shoe company made the pumps?
Reebok
The shoe made Reebok a force in the basketball world for the better part of the 1990s. The Pump, and its $170 pricetag, made a major statement on and off the court. Paul Litchfield, the man who invented the Pump, tells Bloomberg how it came to be.
