The Social Status x Reebok Pump Fury "Hornets" takes a new design approach to the timeless running turned lifestyle sneaker. Social Status originated in North Carolina and like many people from Charlotte area, the NBA’s Hornets have come to represent the city to them. Considering the popularity of the purple and teal hues within the sneaker world, a Hornets inspired sneaker design is never a bad idea but how do you make your collab stand out? Social Status opted to take the Hornets inspiration to the next level by using photo-realistic prints across the upper of their 20th anniversary Reebok Pump Fury. The purple Pump cage lays over the top of honeycomb graphics but these aren’t the "Hex-a-lite" honeycombs you’re used to seeing on a pair of Reeboks. These honeycomb graphics are printed in a realistic looking way and then colored in that Charlotte Hornets aqua hue that many have come to love. The Hornets Pump Fury also features a teal and purple midsole and teal leather heel that proudly displays the Social Status logo. The Social Status x Reebok Insta Pump Fury OG "Hornets" released in July of 2014 and the timing could not have been better because the NBA’s Charlotte franchise officially changed their name from the Bobcats back to the Hornets in the season that started just a few months later.

Please Note: due to natural aging, deadstock pairs may come without a functioning pump unit.
