PUMA Gives the Ralph Sampson Mid and Low Furry Animal Print Detailing
Dubbed the “Wild Pack.”
Although both the Low and the Mid feature shaggy pony hair detailing, it’s utilized in a different fashion on each. The Low uses crisp white leather as a base, then applies a mix of bone and black pony hair on its Formstripe for a zebra-style print. Sampson’s signature appears directly above in gold foil. The Mid mixes murky black leathers and suedes, and relegates the pony hair to its collar, where it’s dressed in a brown and black leopard print. Gold PUMA branding on the midfoot adds extra flair.
Both pairs are then completed by a white midsole, gold leaping cat on the heels and white “Design Puma Germany” hits on their respective tongue tags. With their wild stylings, they’re certainly a fitting follow-up to Chinatown Market‘s duo of takes on the Ralph Sampson Low that released this past July.
Each is available now at retailers like atmos. The Low is priced at ¥12,000 JPY (approx. $110 USD), while the Mid retails for ¥14,800 JPY (approx. $136 USD).
Elsewhere, PUMA also recently teamed with New York-based Russian artist JAHNKOY for a full capsule collection of folk art-inspired shoes and apparel.
