Spike-Studded Sneakers

Reebok's 'Instapump Fury OG' Was Remodeled with a Punk Influence in Mind

One of Reebok's most celebrated recent designs, the 'Instapump Fury OG,' was transformed by the brand for a studded sneaker that was made with leather-wearing head-banging consumers in mind.

The brand accomplishes this by adding silver spikes to key areas on the sneakers, making for a look that speaks to one's inner rebel without exposing it in an obnoxious way. These spikes are therefore only shown on the heel and tongue, with the rest of the studded sneakers overtaken by a sleek black colorway. An exception to this is a metallic accent on the toe however, which aids in incorporating the silver spikes with the rest of the design.

In addition to being aesthetically appealing, the remodeled Instapump Fury OG is incredibly comfortable to wear, a functionality that's ensured by its cushioned supportive sole, as well as the cut-out design that makes it more breathable in warm weather.
