Reebok Reveals a Cool New Line of GHOSTBUSTERS-Themed Sneakers
Reebok has unveiled a new sneaker collection inspired by the Ghostbusters. This is the second line of Ghostbusters sneakers that they released following the first drop in October 2020.
This new footwear collection draws inspiration from the original films while some others reference the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife film which is coming in November.
Reebok shared the following details of the new line of shoes:
The capsule features some of Reebok’s most coveted silhouettes – Instapump Fury, Answer IV and Zig Kinetica – as well as a model called the Ecto Boot, which is a modern take on Reebok’s OG Pump from the ‘80s and the iconic Ghostbusters franchise. That inspiration bleeds onto the footwear packaging with select pieces packaged in specialized shoeboxes that pay homage to characters and details from Ghostbusters films, new and old, as well as Reebok’s historic footwear models.
You can find photos of the sneakers with details for each one below:
Ecto Boot ($160, FY2447) – The Ecto Boot (seen above) is a modern take on Ghostbusters and Reebok's OG Pump shoe from the '80s. The shoe features a utilitarian theme and incorporates supportive, functional elements including the abrasion resistant medial side toe and TPU heel cap, neoprene heel collar and speed lacing system. Available in unisex sizing.
Zig Kinetica ($140, G58857) – All details on this Zig Kinetica are designed to emulate the new ghost – Muncher – that appears in the upcoming film. The silhouette is semi translucent and glows in the dark from the vamp and collar to the transparent mono mesh upper. Throughout the shoe are nods to Muncher's ravenous metallic appetite including the tongue with a bite taken out of it, the sockliner featuring various metal snacks and the silver hits throughout the shoe. Available in adult, gradeschool, preschool and toddler sizing.
Instapump Fury ($200, G58853) – If you need to prove a ghostly encounter, try this "slimed over" Instapump Fury. Based on the psycho-reactive slime that makes an appearance in Ghostbusters II, this Instapump Fury features a semi-translucent gel print across the upper to create the look of slime and the heel clip provides some extra street cred with the text "PROOF OF A GHOSTLY ENCOUNTER." Available in adult and toddler sizing.
Answer IV ($200, G58861) – This Answer IV marks the first time the Terror Dogs make their way onto footwear. Hidden details and upper materials – including nubuck and cracked leather – are all inspired by the grisly characters from the iconic franchise. The shoe also features glow in the dark outsole, slobber details and red eyelets, the latter of which represents the frightening dogs glowing red eyes. Available in adult sizing.
Zig Kinetica Kids ($85, G58860) – The Mini-Pufts, a group of little terrors, make an appearance on this kids silhouette which features the iconic white, red and black color scheme in addition to a pack of Mini-Pufts
