Here we go, another MITA exclusive and one of the few hot models from Reebok’s retro running line. The Insta-Pump Fury is the running version of the “Pump” technology models that were so popular in the early 90s. Perforated leather, grainy grey fabric, a Gucci red and green colorway in addition to the shiny black upper, is a wide ranged combination more suited to two separate models. The original Fury’s colorway were fluorescent raver colors and were ahead of their time in the 90’s. Here is an update that’s trying to stay current by being retro.
