Tron Legacy may be out of the theaters, but that didn't stop the Reebok Insta Pump Fury Tron-inspired sneaker from release.
According to Streething, the Reebok Insta Pump Fury Tron-themed shoe isn't actually associated with the movie. Instead, it's more of the design inspiration that ties it in with the popular flick. The sneaker is a low-top style with an aqua overlay and cutouts that reveal basic black accents underneath. The graphics shows off layers of dark circuitry outlines that are reminiscent of the film's main visual theme. Then of course, there's the pump itself, which is located right at the tongue of the shoe.
It may not be an actual official Tron shoe, but one can't help but notice that the design concept is so closely tied into the sci-fi flick.
