In December 2016, Reebok released a Grinch-inspired Instapump Fury inspired by the main antagonist in the popular Dr. Seuss film, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The jarring Red/Green colorway with bits of fur on the shoe is a fitting tribute to the malevolent character who turned out to have a heart of gold.

In 2015, Ted scored a commemorative sneaker of its own following the launch of the film’s sequel, Ted 2.
