Basketball Team-Inspired Sneakers

Reebok's New Instapump Fury OG References the Los Angeles Lakers

Reebok's signature sneaker model, the 'Instapump Fury OG' receives a new tonal makeover inspired by one of the NBA teams. The new colorway references the Los Angeles Lakers, adorning the silhouette in a blend of 'College Gold,' 'Team White,' and 'Team Purple.'

The sneaker originated in the 90s and the structural shape of the chunky shoe recalls the era. The uppers are constructed from a blend of neoprene and mesh materials in the mix of white and purple hues. There are some yellow accents across the under panels, the outsole tread, and the signature 'PUMP' air outlet. Much like the rest of the Instapump Fury sneakers, the bottom of the shoe sees a 'Graphlite' arch shank to deliver additional support for the foot.
