SUEDE CLASSIC x STAMPD ¥16,800+TAX

PUMA and Los Angeles-based STAMPD will release a collaboration item, "SUEDE CLASSIC x STAMPD," on August 4. This special model commemorates the 50th anniversary of "SUEDE CLASSIC", PUMA's iconic model created in 1968.

. in 1988, 20 years after Suede was born, I got the first Suede of my life. . I am fortunate now to be able to work with the different brands that I was obsessed with as a child, brands that made me who I am today. Suede is special to me, so it was important to me to create a special model, from the sole to the laces," said Chris Stamp, Creative Director of Stamped.

. Suede is an expression of who PUMA is as a brand. It is a standard, a must-have, a true icon," said Helmut Fischer, Puma's archivist.

The collaborative model, which is of interest, is a combination of two types of suede material, smooth suede on the top and rough suede on the bottom. The specifications on the side of the model are listed as "88'-18''," with the "88" being the first time "Stamped" designer Chris Stamp has used "suede" in a pair of shoes. The "88'-18'" represents the year 88 when Chris Stamp, the designer of "Stamped", first used "suede".
