Reebok Instapump Fury 24 Kilates x 11 by BBS

The Reebok InstaPump Fury x 24 Kilates x 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi is a very simple yet incredibly striking look for this futuristic Reebok model from the mid-90s. Released in March of 2014 as part of Reebok's enormous celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Reebok InstaPump Fury, the shoe looks to luxury designer Boris Bidjan Saberi's $1400 "Bamba" high top sneaker and the Barcelona-based boutique for inspiration and a completely new take on the iconic silhouette. The result is a black and white graphic design that uses trompe l'oeil (optical illusion), subtle over-stitching, and geometric cuts to give the shoe totally new colorblocking. The Reebok InstaPump Fury was a project that began in 1992 and finally hit shelves in 1994. Bourne from a "blue sky" think tank for Reebok in the early 90s comprised of greats like Steve Burris, Peter Foley, and Paul Litchfield, the shoe was deisgned by Steven Smith. Smith is responsible for some of the greatest running shoes of all time including the New Balance 1500, 996, 997, 576, and Nike Air Max 2009. He also put the very first carbon fiber arch in a running shoe with the Reebok Graphlite Road. And thus, the Reebok InstaPump Fury sits atop a carbon fiber shank that actually holds most of the shoe together. The black stitching over the white stripes on the Reebok InstaPump Fury x 24 Kilates x 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi are sure to turn heads everywhere. Please Note: due to natural aging, deadstock pairs may come without a functioning pump unit.
