The Reebok Instapump Fury Interrupt Features the Sistine Chapel

— April 12, 2017 — Fashion
The Reebok InstaPump Fury Interrupt is a new style that boasts a colorful camouflage design that draws inspiration from an unlikely source—the Sistine Chapel.

On the side of the InstaPump sneakers is a colorful homage to the stained glass windows on the chapel in a "paint drip filter" effect. Other stylish details on the sneaker include a cracked leather upper and its low-cut design. As far as the features of the sneaker itself, it boasts a Hexalite midsole to cushion the foot and absorb shocks, a durable high-abrasion rubber outsole and a laceless design with The Pump technology for a custom fit.

Rather than consuming art itself, many young collectors are purchasing functional lifestyle pieces that reference art history as a means of immersing themselves in culture.
