The Reebok Instapump Fury Got a Makeover for its 20th Anniversary

— April 4, 2014 — Fashion
Reebok's classic silhouette the Instapump Fury got a fresh makeover for its 20th anniversary. The Instapump Fury OG doesn't use laces, instead the Instapump Fury relies on CO2-charged lockdown cushioning.

The BAU x Reebok Instapump Fury OG is a collaboration between Reebok and Frank the Butcher. The sneaker features an inflatable neoprene and leather upper with a splatter pattern. The shoes are finished off with "All Is Fair" and "BAU" (Business As Usual) embroidered graphics. The colorway is called the "Father/Daughter" pack and is, "dedicated to the dads that handle their biz," according to Frank the Butcher.

The design makes for a head turning sneaker and the comfort of the Instapumps can't be matched. Look for a bunch more colorways to come out for the Instapump Fury's 20th anniversary year.
