PUMA SUEDE VTG HAIRY SUEDE

PUMA SUEDE has been loved in various scenes for over 50 years since the original suede training shoes "CRACK" appeared in 1968. PUMA SUEDE took its current form after 1979, when Walt Frazier, one of PUMA's contracted athletes in the 1970s and signature player of "PUMA CLYDE", left his contract with PUMA. In the 1980s, it was loved by many famous artists and spread its name around the world as a must-have item in hip-hop culture and the skate scene.

The exclusive model PUMA SUEDE VTG HAIRY SUEDE, released by KICKS LAB., a premium sneaker boutique that spreads Japanese sneaker culture from Harajuku to the world, is a shoe made with the image of "90681 Puma*" produced in the former Yugoslavia from 1979 to the mid-1980s. It is produced using the same cement manufacturing method (a method of joining the upper and sole with only adhesive) as the "CLYDE" produced in the 1970s, and reproduces the initial specifications of "90681 Puma*" without the "Clyde" signature on the upper side. The color scheme, commonly known as "BLACK x GOLD", is also used in the original "CLYDE". It uses long, uneven hairy suede to express the texture faded by sunlight. The sole and shoelaces are also slightly cream-colored due to aging.

* 90681 Puma: This was the product name before the street name "SUEDE" became the product name. When the original was released, the product name was "Puma". The name "PUMA's Puma" was hard to understand, so some people on the street just called it "CLYDE" or "PUMA suede shoes". As time passed and the 1990s began, it became popular as a lifestyle shoe all over the world, and the product name was changed from "PUMA suede shoes" to "PUMA SUEDE". This truly shows the fact that "PUMA SUEDE" exists alongside the street.
