Last year fashion mogul Dapper Dan and Puma teamed up to hit us with a collection that celebrated retro streetwear. That collaboration paid tribute to hip hop culture that was democratized by Dapper Dan in the ‘80s, which was the same time period when Puma became a staple in streetwear. For 2023, Dapper Dan and Puma link up again from Drop 2 of their collection.
Drop 2 Of The Dapper Dan x Puma Collection will be a limited five-piece collection that blends Puma’s sport heritage with Dapper Dan’s exquisite workmanship in both apparel and footwear pieces. This time around the collection was inspired by the idea of a pre-game runway, with a luxury upcycled aesthetic complemented by knitted materials and allover monogram designs. The collection puts the Puma Clyde model front and center and it is given a premium and luxurious makeover. Aside from the Puma Clyde, the collection also includes the T7 tracksuit with PUMA x Dap logo mania, two tees, and a reversible padded jacket featuring Dap’s powerful depiction of the PUMA, rhinestones, and the collaborator’s logo. Dapper Dan took inspiration from his Harlem roots for this second drop, reflecting on the importance of expression and what that has looked like for him through the years.
Pieces from Drop 2 Of The Dapper Dan x Puma Collection will release in limited quantities and will range from $70-$300. Look for the entire capsule collection to be available globally at Atmos, Extra Butter, Concepts, Bodega, Social Status, and other select retailers on January 14th.
