For this reimagined drop, Maison Margiela’s creative director John Galliano re-splices the properties of the Instapump Fury with the house code known as “the memory of.” What is “the memory of,” you might ask?
It’s the languished impression of a familiar motif still evident within a garment or an accessory, which echoes something that once was and evokes it within the creation of something new.

This recreation of the 96 shoes are a blend of the past and present in the sense that it’s based on Reebok’s classic design but reinterpreted through “the memory of.”
Here’s some of the shoe’s features: the back of the shoe is remodeled using the flexible bridges, a floaty design, the foam around the heel is exposed in its natural colour along with mesh applied to the toe, and mesh and fabric-covered TPU, along with an EVA sole with hexalite detailing and a TPU outsole. There’s also the flame-shaped mudguard around the toe box that is largely stripped of seams, seams, fuelling the three-dimensional relief impression.
