Suede Basketball Nostalgia Sneakers

PRODUCT STORY

The Suede hit the scene in 1968 and has been changing the game ever since. While many sneakers have come and gone since then – leaving footprints of varying sizes – it's difficult to argue any shoe having as much of a deep-rooted impact on society and culture as the Suede. From Tommie Smith’s protest on the victory stand during the 1968 games to b-boy crews in NYC adopting the shoe in the 1980s, the Suede is constantly evolving since its birth in 1968. This version of the sneaker dives into '70s hoops nostalgia, driven by sartorial detailing like subtle colour-blocking. It features an aged-looking suede upper.
