Reebok Launches the Animal-Patterned Instapump Furry Sneaker

— December 9, 2020 — Fashion
Sportswear label Reebok introduces the new and playful Instapump Furry for the season, which takes the iconic Instapump Fury model and updates it with animal prints. Specifically, the shoe showcases leopard patterning throughout the upper. It starts with a shaggy base foundation overlayed with more details as the fuzzy looks can be found at the underlays, toe box, tongues, and more.

The tan look is enforced by brown and black cheetah rosettes that is constrated by the inflatable Pump bladder, the toe cap, and heel, which are all done in a stark black hue. The Pump valve system is also complete in black with more tonal branding found along the heel area. The midsoles are held by a carbon fiber midfoot plate complete with DMX cushioning.
