Puma Suede Bodega Where Sport Meets Street

Puma Suede Bodega Where Sport Meets Street — From the Asphalt to the Court

The Puma Suede has been an icon since 1968, when it became the first sneaker to use suede as its main material, which was considered a luxury at the time. Designed as a sporty alternative to the Puma Basket, it gained prominence that same year when Olympic athlete Tommie Smith left it on the podium during his historic protest gesture. This collaboration with Bodega, launched in August 2025 under the concept "Engineered for Expression", fuses street football culture with the aesthetic of the New York store.

Suede — The classic suede sneaker since 1968

The silhouette retains its iconic reinforced toe and heel, the lateral Puma Formstrip logo, and the thick rubber sole that made it indispensable for track athletes and, later, for breakdance and hip-hop culture. In this Where Sport Meets Street edition, shaggy suede in earthy tones is combined with a customizable lacing system, following the spirit of the collection.

Materials and technology

• Upper: shaggy suede in Dark Olive, Totally Taupe, and Brown Mushroom with a lateral Formstrip.
• Interior: soft textile lining with a cushioned insole for everyday wear.
• Sole: thick vulcanized rubber sole, a direct legacy of the original 1968 design.
