    • Kehinde Wiley x Puma...
    Monday, November 30, 2009 13:39



    In anticipation for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Puma have teamed up with New York based painter, Kehinde Wiley, to create a limited edition version of the V1.10 soccer boot.
    Kehinde Wiley has gained worldwide acclaim for his unique style, in which he portrays African Americans in traditional poses placed upon boldly colored backgrounds.







    Wiley has an ability to blend traditional and contemporary painting styles that is unparalleled. His work has been described with words like, 'intensity' and 'passion', two words also synonymous with soccer players and their fans. Wiley has worked with Puma on a successful collection in the recent past, so it only seemed natural for Puma to call upon him again for this special edition boot.

    More after the jump...



    Puma players Samuel Eto’o, John Mensah and Emmanuel Eboué will all wear this limited edition boot throughout their Champions League matches. Look for them on the field starting December 9th and through the weekend of Decemember 19th/20th.



    Only 302 pairs of PUMA’s Limited Edition v1.10 Kehinde Wiley Boot will be made (to reflect the 302,00000 km2 African continent) and each will be individually numbered.





    Available on pre-order for £140, so if you've got the cash, splash out on this investment piece.
