Vaughn Bode
Honoring the Bodé family legacy.
The worldwide launch of the second generation of Vaughn Bode x Puma products are just days away. The three pack of Puma Baskets are a little more subdued relative to the original pieces of the collection yet still a worthwhile homage to the influential artist, Vaughn Bode. Canadian sneaker store Livestock and homie Virus put together a special tribute at Livestock’s most recently opened location. The artwork will also be seen in t-shirt form. The Vaughn Bode x Puma Cheech Wizard Baskets will drop exclusively in Canada at Livestock on May 24th.
In association with the worldwide release of the Vaughn Bode x Puma “Cheech Wizard” Basket II, sneaker boutique Overkill will present a special showcase to launch the latest installment of the Cheech Wizard campaign. Vaughn Bode’s son, Mark will be available on Saturday, May 17th for a day of signings and a night time event that will include a live painting and musical performances. For more information including dates and times check out Overkill.
The newest installment to the Vaughn Bode x Puma collection has hit select retailers. Originally conceived on the Clyde, this latest design inspired by legendary cartoonist Vaughn Bode is now transfered to the Puma Basket II. As well unlike its predecessors, these Basket IIs feature much more understated Cheech Wizard star references. Three colorways are available including black, red and white.

The success of previous Puma x Vaughn Bode releases has translated into this new updated collaboration on the Puma Basket. While previous years have seen the Clyde hold most of the spot light, we’ve seen a strong push in recent memory by Puma as they look to give the Basket more air play. The Basket features more subdued styling then in the past with solid black/black and white/white styles seen. Available May of this year.
