The atmos x Ghost in the Shell x Reebok Instapump Fury 94 is a limited-edition sneaker created to coincide with the Ghost in the Shell exhibition at TOKYO NODE. The shoe uses a predominantly black upper covered in an all-over cable motif that references the franchise’s cybernetic visual language. Turquoise accents appear across the branding and on the Instapump adjustment valves, which also carry Ghost in the Shell text. A custom insole graphic depicts Motoko Kusanagi connected to multiple cables, mirroring the exterior pattern and reinforcing the collaboration theme.
The atmos x Ghost in the Shell x Reebok Instapump Fury 94 is scheduled to release on January 30, 2026 and will be sold exclusively at the exhibition venue. The exhibition runs through April 5, 2026, and the sneaker is priced at ¥29,700 JPY.
