The Suede hit the scene in 1968 & has been changing the game ever since. While many sneakers have come & gone since then – leaving footprints of varying sizes – it's difficult to argue any shoe having as much of a deep-rooted impact on society & culture as the Suede. From Tommie Smith’s protest on the victory stand during the 1968 Olympic games to b-boy crews in NYC adopting the shoe in the 1980s. It’s been worn by the icons of every generation – & it’s stayed classic through it all. The PUMA Suede is an icon for everyone. With the Suede VTG, PUMA is keeping the model as close as possible to its original predecessors, including a shorter vamp, no SUEDE logo on the quarter & raw edge tongue construction. Never worn. Preserved for decades. Unseen product is the inspiration behind our latest collection. The Never Worn pack takes retro styles & brings them back for today’s consumers & collectors. Pieces feature a fresh fabric mix & retro-aged materials, plus glue stains & abrasions on footwear for an authentic vintage feel.
