Reebok Instapump Fury 94 appears in two Gundam-inspired collaboration styles created with Japanese fashion label STRICT-G. The release includes a white, blue, and red version based on the RX-78-2 Gundam and a second red and black colorway based on the Red Gundam unit. Each pair features themed pump buttons, unit markings on the heel, printed graphics on the sock liner, and matching color accents across the upper. The models retain the inflatable internal air chamber system for an adjustable, lace-free fit.
Both versions use layered synthetic uppers with segmented panel construction and a sculpted polyurethane midsole. The outsole is molded for traction and impact absorption during wear. The collaboration is produced as a limited release and is scheduled for distribution through STRICT-G retail locations and select international sneaker retailers.
