A new twist has been revealed for the Bodega x Puma Spy II Hi. A gray version references the mysterious gray spy which was seen in MAD Magazine’s popular comic between ‘62 and ‘65.

The regular version will release February 23rd at Bodega (Boston), Ubiq (Philadelphia), Huf (San Francisco), ALIFE (New York), Premium Goods (Houston), Undefeated (Los Angeles – La Brea location), Classic Kicks (New York), Livestock (Toronto), and Atmos (New York).

Each received a hand painted white Clyde with their names seen printed below the Puma logo on the side. Check back for more details on this interesting project.
