Puma Clyde Staple Pigeon

Released as part of Puma's "Made in Japan" campaign in 2013, the Staple x Puma Suede "Pigeon Suede" dropped exclusively in-store only at Reed Space in New York on April 17th with a larger, worldwide release later in May. Retailing for $200, the Staple and Puma collaboration featured dual-branding on a tonal grey suede upper. Brought to fruition by famed designer, Jeff Staple, the Staple Suede created a wave of hype, like nearly all of his collaborations have done. With the signature Puma stripe in lighter grey suede striking through the monochrome upper, and mango-colored Staple branding below the traditional "Puma" on the mid-foot, the Pigeon Suede reflected the styles of many past Jeff Staple releases. The Pigeon Suedes also donned the cherished Staple Pigeons on the lateral sides of the rear panels. Finished off with a deeper grey midsole along with a mango outsole and sock liner, the Staple Pigeon Suedes brought an old classic back into the new millennium with an extremely wearable, yet provocative color scheme. With roughly 500 total pairs produced, the Staple Suede continues to be a highly regarded release by both Staple and footwear enthusiasts alike. Now, years later, the Staple x Puma Suede "Pigeon Suede" continues to be fashionably classic.
