400ml is a graffiti group based in Beijing and it recently contributed to [Reebok's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-94) 3:AM collection with a captivating design of the [iconic Instapump Fury sneaker model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering). The duo work in collaboration to celebrate the graffiti group's heritage, specifically the traditional Chinese art of paper cutting.

The sneaker model's uppers are carefully constructed from a [nylon foundation in black](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1000-model) before being adorned in contrasting details. The graphics across the sneaker are inspired by graffiti work and decorates the Reebok Pump exoskeleton. It sits on top of a white midsole foundation with some speckled accents to round it all out. The 3:AM series is a content capsule that celebrates late-night lifestyles across a plethora of urban cities all across the world.
