This month PUMA kicks off this milestone by giving some love to the man who started it all – founder and number one cat, Rudolf Dassler.
Dassler stepped out on his own to start PUMA in 1948 and went on to create the Suede, an upgrade to the canvas-and-leather sneaker game with its timeless design, from the fine fabric to the grippy sole and the classic Formstrip.
In honour of the top cat, PUMA drops the Rudolf Dassler Suede pack, a power combo featuring a pair of plush Suedes and a luxe backpack made of black leather and cream suede.
This classy rendition keeps it G with black laces on black suede and cream accents with a textured outsole to set it off. A sleek nod to Dassler and PUMA’s earliest logo is etched on the side of the heel – a cat crawling through the letter “D” – make it a must for any PUMA collector.
Look out for the Rudolf Dassler Suede pack to release on Thursday, 16 November 2017 at PUMA SELECT (Joburg & Cape Town) and X-Trend stores.
The kicks are served in a special edition Suede 50 shoebox with metallic gold details and branding.
