Mark Wahlberg is one of the biggest celebrity sneakerheads, so it makes sense that his right-hand-bear Ted gets in on the action too.

Known for bridging the gap between pop culture and sneaker culture, California-based shop BAIT is set to unveil a new Reebok Instapump Fury inspired by the foul-mouthed teddy bear and his hit sequel, Ted 2. Made to commemorate the upcoming holiday DVD/BLU-Ray release of the film, BAIT and Reebok will be unleashing a 'Happy Ted' capsule featuring matching apparel and collectibles to coincide with the footwear.

The sneaker itself is made up of the same material as the teddy bear, sporting a shearling upper with a nappy suede toe. An embroidered image of Ted's 'good side' is found on the back heel of the left shoe while BAIT branding is found on the right. Leather back heel and tongue pull straps with Ted branding along with a custom graphic of Ted in his happy state found on the sockliner finishes things off.

UPDATE 11/06: The release date for the Ted 2 x BAIT x Reebok Instapump Fury "Happy Ted" is set for Saturday, Nov. 14. The shoes will release in-store at all BAIT locations as well as online at baitme.com for $170 in sizes 3-13. Readers can enter the raffle for a chance to purchase a pair online here.
