Footpatrol x Hiking Patrol’s New Instapump Fury Is the Zip-Fastened Sneaker You Can’t Ignore

Heads up! has just released its latest collaboration with Norwegian imprint Hiking Patrol, reworking with a zip-fastened design that sees the brand double down on its Japanese-led ‘Frankenstein’ era of footwear innovation.

The sleek redesign enhances the model's armoured aesthetic, incorporating a smooth matte finish through off-white rubber overlays that solidify the outer structure. Beneath the rubber panels, a blend of cream and dark purple neoprene textiles subtly emerges, adding a soft yet durable layer to the silhouette. The soles, constructed with an exaggerated arch, are broken down into soft, neutral tones and feature a black bumper that extends upward to the exterior.

Each of the three collaborators is represented through bold placements: Footpatrol and Hiking Patrol logos are embossed just beneath the heel tabs, while the Reebok logo finds its home on the quarter panel. The purple insoles display a trio of logos and brand names on alternating sides, and the intricate version of the Reebok’s moniker can be found just beneath the toes.

It’s safe to say the Instapump Fury has undergone its fair share of transformations over the years. Evolving from its iconic 1994 debut into a canvas for some of the ‘Bok’s most experimental designs, the trio’s latest rework leans into that legacy and cementing the model's status as a shape-shifter in modern footwear.
