The anime “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders” collaborates with the sports culture brand “Reebok” to release an original design of the INSTAPUMP FURY 94. Pre-orders are currently accepted on Bandai’s character fashion website, “BANDAI FASHION COLLECTION.”
“JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” is a manga by Araki Hirohiko that started serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1987. The manga depicts the Joestar bloodline and their fate, beginning with the encounter of two boys: Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando. This epic of a manga takes a unique style, featuring a different protagonist in each part. The anime “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders” is the third anime series based on this manga and began airing in April 2014.
The resurrection of DIO, the Joestar family’s archnemesis, affects the protagonist, Kujo Jotaro, awakening his Stand. To save his mother, Holly, he embarks on a journey to defeat DIO alongside his grandfather, Joseph, and their allies. During their long journey, they fight off numerous assassins and finally reach Egypt, where DIO awaits. However, the shadows of bizarre and terrifying new enemies loom over them to hinder their progress.
The newly released sneakers are a collaboration between this iconic series and Reebok’s flagship product, INSTAPUMP FURY 94, which was released in 1994 and packed with cutting-edge technology of the time. The unique “Ora Ora” is designed all over the bladder parts, giving it the dynamic energy of using his stand and the anime’s distinctive color scheme.
Inspired by Jotaro’s school uniform, the shoes are mainly black with an accent of yellow. The heel pull tab features the iconic “To Be Continued” from the anime’s next episode previews. Two sets of sock liners come with the sneakers: one featuring only the character log and the other featuring a memorable scene from the opening animation. The left foot is adorned with characters, and the right foot is adorned with their respective stands, making the sneakers enjoyable even with the inner design.
“JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Reebok Collab Sneaker INSTAPUMP FURY 94” is priced at 27,500 JPY (tax included, shipping/handling fee not included).
