REEBOK AND ADIDAS UNVEIL RELEASE DATES FOR ALL-NEW INSTAPUMP FURY BOOST™
MUMBAI: Following a monumental announcement last week, Reebok and adidas have unveiled additional details around the launch of the all-new Instapump Fury Boost™ sneaker.
The ultimate statement shoe, the Instapump Fury Boost™ is built for breaking free and creating the unexpected. The trailblazing Instapump Fury has long been the choice of influencers and iconoclasts. Now, with the unrivalled comfort of adidas Boost™ technology, it’s back to push the limits of design and performance.
The Instapump Fury Boost™ will be available in three exclusive release packs, “Prototype”, “OG Meets OG” and “Black & White”:
• “Prototype”: The “Prototype” model features the original colorway of Steven Smith’s ‘pullover’ Instapump Fury production sample. For the first time, this classic white, royal blue and solar orange Fury colorway will be released. In addition to celebrating Reebok's innovation legacy, the Instapump Fury Boost™ Prototype gives a subtle nod to adidas’ Boost™ revolution by incorporating the same mesh paneling used in the original UltraBOOST™.
• “OG Meets OG”: The “OG Meets OG” pack salutes the inaugural Instapump Fury and UltraBOOST™ colorways. The Instapump Fury’s striking high-tech silhouette set it apart from the conventional sneaker scene. However, it was shoe’s daring OG colorway that made it a style icon. Convinced that the Fury had to make a visual statement, Steven Smith struck on an incendiary citron yellow upper, glowing against crimson and black accents. It was a bold choice that perfectly captured the Fury’s relentlessly inventive and independent spirit.
• “Black & White”: The Black & White pack is made for the fashion-forward. Featuring immaculate monochrome uppers with a glimmer of metallic GraphLite, its bold futurism is offset by the organic warmth of raw gum outsoles. Clean and balanced, the black and white combination will complement any look and is set to become a street staple. A celebration of pure form, the Black & White pack stays true to Smith’s “no more than what you need” vision.
Infused with revolutionary adidas Boost™ technology, the all-new Instapump Fury Boost™ is created for a whole new generation, receiving numerous tweaks and upgrades since its inception. Built for breaking free and creating the unexpected, Instapump Fury Boost™ is perfect fusion of Reebok and adidas innovation.
The sneaker collection will be available for purchase at select Reebok stores, VegNonVeg, Superkicks, Flipkart and www.shop4reebok.com starting INR 18,999, November 15th onwards.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
