01: Reebok INSTAPUMP FURY 94
A masterpiece celebrating its 30th anniversary.
HOUYHNHNM: Let's start with Reebok. The Instapump Fury. It is a well-known historical masterpiece.
Kojima: This year is the 30th anniversary year since its birth, and we picked up a collaboration model with XLarge and the OG color Citron.
HOUYHNHNM: Wow. 30 years? What are the features of each model?
Kojima:The collaboration model with XLarge is a tie-dye patterned arrangement of the OG color tricolor tricolor, while the OG color citron is the iconic color scheme of this shoe. The box is also reproduced from the original at the time of its birth.
HOUYHNHNM: Both are nice. What are your memories of these shoes, Kojima-san?
Kojima: When these sneakers were released 30 years ago, Bjork appeared on the cover of a magazine wearing them. I have a strong image of that.
HOUYHNHNM: I miss it. That visual was vivid.
Kojima: At the time, I wanted to buy one but could not. They were expensive and there were only a small number of them. Now it has been reissued and is available for regular purchase. As a fan, I am very happy.
