PUMA is paying homage to the Windy City in anticipation of the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.

Arriving in a sleek red and black colorway, the Ralph Sampson Mid “Chicago” is crafted with a leather upper and perforated vamp and suede overlays. Hits of gold can be found on select branding like the panel and mustache’s PUMA logo, Ralph Sampson‘s signature on the mid-top and the sneaker number on the tongue. A padded collar and tongue with leather overlays wrap around the ankle for utmost comfortability, while the full lace closure and a mid-rise lacing option allows for ideal and desired fitting. Additional branding hits can be found on the contrasting PUMA forstrip overlay, the PUMA No.2 logo on the lateral and a woven label on the tongue, finally resting on a white shock wedge rubber sole for traction and grip.

The PUMA Ralph Sampson Mid “Chicago” will be available soon on the PUMA online store for $90 USD. Meanwhile, the 2020 NBA All-Star Game will be held on February 16.
