Projects: Puma x Marcus Troy Digital Collaboration

Fashion has always inspired, especially people’s street style. Before the blogs, before the Internet, I was interested in people-watching and dissecting what people wore and how they wore their outfits. My earliest reference points of “street style” were my dad’s old hip-hop flyers and the cats in New York subways posing for pictures in the freshest clothes and sneakers. Later on, books from Jamel Shabazz and Martha Cooper popped up, capturing the true essence of personal style. The one noticeable thing to me were the sneakers these guys and girls were wearing: the Puma Clydes as well as The Suedes. Their choice of footwear always completed the outfit and made it stand out.

When I sat down with Puma to talk about our digital collaboration, I wanted to reimagine what that would look like today, capturing people in their personal street style only wearing Puma Suedes. Growing up, the Puma Suedes meant so much to my friends and peers. Whether you were a B-Boy, Skateboarder or just a dude who’s into looking fly. Since Puma decided to have this shoe make a comeback, I wanted to create a street style site dedicated to the iconic shoe.

With all that being said, take the time to sign up for the chance to win one of 150 pairs of Puma Suedes. If you are a lucky winner, a pair of Suedes will be shipped right to your home. All you have to do is send me back a picture of how you rock your Puma Suedes and your street style photos will populate the site!

Don’t worry if you already have a nice picture of you rocking suedes you can submit your picture here.
