A new Black Fives x Puma collaboration has surfaced. For those who may not know, the Black Fives Foundation is a nonprofit whose mission is to research, preserve, showcase, teach and honor the pre-NBA history of African Americans in basketball.
The latest Black Fives x Puma collaboration includes a limited-edition version of the Puma Suede. The sneaker pays
homage to its timeless style while amplifying the history of the Black Fives Era through thoughtful retro-inspired design details. Details include natural dyes, a sapphire blue suede upper, a chenille fabric Formstrip and the
Foundation?s trademarked slogan, ?Make History Now.? Also part of the collection will be a co-branded T-shirts, in which one can be seen above.
The limited edition Black Fives x Puma Suede will drop on June 18th for the retail price of $80.
