The psychedelic world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure will come to life through some exclusive Reebok footwear. Soon, anime fans will be able to wear sneakers decorated in the style of Jotaro Kujo from Stardust Crusaders.
According to JoJo's Encyclopedia of Weirdness, the American footwear company is teaming up with popular Japanese franchise Hirohiko Araki to exclusively release anime-inspired sneakers. The Jotaro sneakers will be called Instapump Fury 94, the most popular product released by Reebok since 1994. Previously, Reebok collaborated with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to create nostalgic Instapump Fury 94 shoes based on the version Rita's classic Push Back.

The new Reebok x JoJo's Bizarre Adventure shoes are decorated in the signature colors of Jotaro's outfit. Additionally, “Ora Ora” (オラオラ) SFX is embedded into the shoe's exterior design. On top of that, the heel pull tab features the “To Be Continued” stamp from the anime episode preview. Previews of the distinct next episode of Stardust Crusaders, set to “Roundabout” by the late 60s British progressive rock band Yes, inspired a hilarious 2016 anime meme trend that continues for to this day.

Pre-orders for the Reebok x JoJo's Bizarre Adventure sneakers are now open through the Premium Japan website as well as the Reebok Japan website. However, unlike the Majin Buu belt, international fans can pre-order the Jotaro shoes at Hobby-Genki.
