We’ve first announced the news of the collaboration between Sergio Rossi and PUMA back in September 2008, earlier today Freshness reported that the shoes are released and available at colette. The high heel sneakers retail for €450.00 (about US$575) and the sneakers retail for €150.00 (about US$192), I’m loving the high heel sneakers! In addition to the colorways available now, be on the lookout of a limited edition in the classic colette blue. Having made its debut back in 1973, the iconic “Clyde” sneaker was originally tailor made for all-star basketball legend Walt “Clyde” Frazier, whose apparent technique of “stealing” the ball from his opponents earned him the (Bonnie and) “Clyde” nickname. Over thirty years later, the classic continues its journey into the contemporary world of street wear in a candy-shaded array of satin-coverings as six of the season’s hottest colours; “Envy” Green, “Lolita” Pink, “Bullitt” Silver”, “Delovely” Lavender, “Fabulous” Bougainvillea and “Speedy” Black. Would you rock these? I’m debating to get a pair of these, the Mary Jane and Lace Up Bouganville? I’m leaning more towards the Lace Up, hmm… More pics after the jump…
Yesterday you’ve seen the first image of the Sergio Rossi for PUMA Mary Jane, this morning we just got the press release with more images and info! This is an exciting and fresh capsule collaboration of two internationally renowned brands that made it their mission to merge Italian luxury and Sport lifestyle together for a very special capsule collection of women’s footwear which will debut at Colette in Paris in January 2009. Having made its debut back in 1973, the iconic “Clyde” sneaker was originally tailor made for all-star basketball legend Walt “Clyde” Frazier, whose apparent technique of “stealing” the ball from his opponents earned him the (Bonnie and) “Clyde” nickname. Over thirty years later, the classic continues its journey into the contemporary world of street wear in a candy-shaded array of satin-coverings as six of the season’s hottest colours; “Envy” Green, “Lolita” Pink, “Bullitt” Silver”, “Delovely” Lavender, “Fabulous” Bougainvillea and “Speedy” Black. Now imagine the “Clyde” morphing itself into a more feminine and seductive shoe-sister and the result comes courtesy of “Chic-Sneak”, a master crafted high-heeled sneaker which combines the technological design and constructive know-how of PUMA with the all-important sex appeal that is unmistakably Sergio Rossi. I must get my hands on the Mary Jane and Lace Up Bouganville, super hotness and they look comfy too! More pics after the jump…
WWD reported that PUMA has partnered with Sergio Rossi to create a capsule collection that will be released in January at colette during couture week. “A design team at Sergio Rossi reinterpreted Puma’s iconic Clyde sneaker, which originally made its debut in 1973, including a high-heeled mary jane model with Velcro straps and a lace-up pump in a range of colors.” Whoa super cute, I anticipate to see the full collection! I def need to get my hands on this pair, hotness!
