Graffiti-Themed Suede Sneakers

Alexander John and Puma Launch a Suede G-Tag Sneaker Model

— September 16, 2021 — Fashion
Artist and designer Alexander-John joins forces with PUMA to work in collaboration and create a G-Tag design iteration of the iconic Suede sneaker model. The shoe is dipped in rubber to showcase a unique midsole foundation and the upper is detailed with notes of graffiti artwork.

It is designed to be reminiscent of the artist's own creative journey, translating it through design cues. The upper is made from navy blue suede materials and detailed with bold hues of white, gold, and red with hand style tags as well. The tongue features a stamped golden badge and more branding is hanging off the eye stays at the lateral side of the shoe. The aforementioned dipped midsole is done in red for a stark finish.
