Reebok Instapump Fury Crooked Tongues The Angry Bird

Although Crooked Tongues is no longer around, their collaborations remain some of the most collected sneakers, and this Crooked Tongues x Reebok Pump Fury "The Angry Bird" from 2014 is a prime example. The Angry Bird nickname comes from one of the inspirations for this Pump Fury OG, the macaw. The macaw parrot hails from South America and is one of the most colorful birds in the world. There’s no relation to the game Angry Birds, other than of course, the crazy strength of the macaw’s beak and apparent temperament. Another part of the inspiration for this design was the 1994 World Cup, which Brazil won, and Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos's self-designed 1994 goalie shirts. The CT x Reebok Pump Fury features a blue and green base with red, yellow and orange accents spread across the upper in the form of feather-like graphics. The original Reebok Insta Pump Fury design came from the mind of designer Steven Smith back in 1994, which ties the theme together nicely. This Crooked Tongues version released in 2014 as a part of a year long collaboration celebration for the Insta Pump’s 20th anniversary. The Crooked Tongues x Reebok Pump Fury OG "The Angry Bird" is an attention grabbing design and considering it is one of the last few Crooked Tongues collabs, is a collector’s choice for many of those with memories of the brand.
