PUMA and Trapstar put their heads
together yet again to launch their latest S/S ‘17 collection. For their latest
collection, Trapstar presents a range with PUMA that transcends their previous
collections, taking cues from military references and utilitarian details all
inspired by the eclectic street style found around their Portbello neighborhood.
PUMA
x TRAPSTAR remix iconic silhouettes and street wear inspired pieces to give the
collection an authentic Trapstar feel. Forged amid an underground subculture,
the PUMA x TRAPSTAR collaboration looks to every decade and artistic discipline
in pursuit of inspiration that defies trends. Classic styles have been
reimagined with premium touches such as the PUMA x TRAPSTAR Clyde (R2 499) and
Clyde Bold (R2 599). Its classic court look is curated to give an authentic yet
street steez. Material play is A1 on both styles, with uppers of premium nubuck
and the other with buttery leather, both displaying Trapstar’s signature
branding details. Digging into PUMA’s archive running collection, Trapstar also
put its own twist on the Prevail OG (R2 399). The silhouette ties in street
fashion influences with rich materials and authentic Trapstar details. PUMA and
Trapstar have focused on neutral tones like Burnt Olive, White and Black for
this range.
The
collection’s apparel includes all of the essentials infused with Trapstar’s
underground subcultural influences, creating stand out pieces through
reinventing classics. The archive parka (R5 999) has been reworked with premium
utilitarian details, from the cut lines and stitching, to patch sleeve pockets.
The woven hood has a reversible panel to compliment or contrast the shell
however you feel like wearing it. A classic crew (R1 999) ups its game with an
authentic Trapstar edge. Reworked with premium military inspired details, such
as the outstanding sleeve pockets. The highlight design detail is the branded, removable
woven protection piece on the back inspired by the utilitarian parka hood
protection. Other pieces to note are the archive sweat pants (R2 299) with
pocket details to be complimented with a classic cotton tee (R799) featuring a
Trapstar motif written through a reflective PUMA cat.
The
collection is available at PUMA SELECT Bree Street, Cape Town and Braamfontein,
Johannesburg and selected retailers nationwide.
