Noble New-Yorker and proud Asian-American, Jeff Staple<\/a><\/strong> brings Asian civil rights to the forefront with the new PUMA<\/a> x STAPLE<\/a> \u201cGidra\u201d Collection<\/strong>. Featuring both footwear and apparel, the collection is inspired by Gidra, an Asian-American student newspaper that was launched in response to the anti-Asian uproar during 1969.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in California, Gidra ran from 1969 to 1974 and was a powerful voice for Asian-American civil rights movements. Pieces from the collection honor Asian-American history as Staple combines bold colors with thoughtful graphics that incorporate dragons inspired by King Ghidorah and Chinese characters that translates to “Peace.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offered in Black and Yellow colorways, STAPLE selects the PUMA Slipstream<\/a><\/strong> as the silhouette of choice. Each iteration has seamless color contrasting, snakeskin leather on the upper and vamp, and a gloss finish on the Formstrip. The back heels have both the iconic Puma and Pigeon logos, coupled with a tonal Gidra graphic on the leather tongue label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PUMA x STAPLE \u201cGidra\u201d Collection<\/strong> is available now. To purchase, visit PUMA.com<\/a> and staplepigeon.com<\/a>, as well as the PUMA NYC flagship store and select PUMA stockists. Each sneaker is priced at $140. A second drop from collection is expected later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
