Break into the shoe that has them dancing in the streets. Definitely the
most well-known and popular of all Puma shoes, this design classic rightly
deserves its place in public affection and in every Hall of Fame. Equally
loved by various trainer faithfuls, the Suede has even been involved in
historical matters on a global scale. At the 1968 Olympics, the shoe
(released the same year) was worn by Tommy Smith, the prominent
equal-rights activist athlete, when he made his famous "Black Power"
salute. In cultural terms the Suede can be credited as the first shoe of "BBoyism".
The shoe was made famous by Hip-Hop crews, such as New
York City Breakers and the Rock Steady Crew, who wore them constantly
at early Hip-Hop jams in New-York City. This execution features the first
Suede slip-on with a 'fat lace' resembling the formstripe.
