Packer Shoes has teamed with Reebok for two new colorways as part of their 20th anniversary of the iconic Reebok Instapump. The first colloboration is with street artist Stash with the Instapump Fury in Stash’s signature tonal blues. The second collaboration is with designer Frank the Butcher for a limited edition Reebok Instapump Fury in two different colorways, both of which are for men and women.
Stash’s Fury features a suede and synthetic upper in shades of that trademark blue. The midsole continues the blue theme with a navy base accented by light blue speckles and a royal blue Hexalite insert towards the heel. Look for this modern take on the blue suede shoe at Packer Shoes and Reebok Certified Network retailers starting March 15 for $1794.99.

Frank the Butcher has set out to create a limited edition Instapump Fury collection for both men and women. He said of the project, “Most special and limited edition shoe projects are made for men. When they are made for women, they come off as delicate and feminine. Sometimes girls just want what’s available for men in a flipped color.”
Frank challenged this standard by engaging the creative talent of his daughter in the design process for his Reebok Classic collaboration, resulting in a set of shoes “that both men and women would wear; either colorway.”
The Frank the Butcher x Reebok Instapump Fury 20th Anniversary features a woven jacquard splatter design across the upper, with reflective splatter print details on the Pump bladder. The understated primary backdrop is contrasted with standout colorblock accents of either nude or neon candy pink on the heels and toe to provide a highly impactful aesthetic.
The signature slogan from Frank’s Business As Usual collection pieces, “All Is Fair”, is embroidered over the toebox, whilst a lightning bolt graphic features on the iconic Pump mechanism, and a colorful BAU heel and inner lining is complemented by the fresh white Hexalite sole unit. A further design element linking to Frank’s Business As Usual street wear line is the coordinating BAU rubber handbags included with each shoe.
The Frank the Butcher x Reebok Instapump Fury 20th Anniversary collaboration will be dropping 3/15 at Frank the Butcher’s label BAU, followed by a global release on 3/15 at select retailers.
