Footpatrol works in collaboration with Hiking Patrol and Reebok on a three-way project with the newest iteration of the Instapump Fury model. It is set to launch on March 20th and the three create a special edition update of the model with new materials and a zipped enclosure.
The refined model has a clean matte coating which is done with an off-white tonal rubber overlay. This same component creates an reinforcement of the outer shell. The model is then finished with a duo of cream and dark purple in a neoprene material textile which is underlying and peaking from the rubber panels. This creates a comfortable textile to the overall composition and gives it a retro look.
