Puma Suede Forever: Outdoor & Print

Working with seven artists, each assigned to an iconic moment in history and culture, we developed a timeline exploring the history of Puma and the direction it’s heading. Working on a canvas size of 24x36 inches, each artist worked in iconic styles relevant to their assigned decade.

The American graphic designer, David Carson, created the 1990s piece, a style done in the “grunge typography” that he defined in that era. Buff Monster, known for his hand-silkscreening techniques created a piece for the 2000s. The pieces were structured into a timeline. At the end of our timeline is the “Future,” represented in a white Puma Suede shoe on a white canvas to show that the future of the shoe is yet to be defined. It’s an invitation to create the next big moment.
