<\/a><\/p>\nPUMA’s first collaboration with Ronnie Fieg dates back to the particularly successful launch of the Disc Blaze OG “Cove” in 2012. Last year, the duo presented two new versions of the ever-popular Disc Blaze revisited by Ronnie Fieg at Paris Fashion Week with the “Coat of Arms” project. Once again, Ronnie’s unique designs and biases aroused the enthusiasm of fashion professionals. For the third instalment of his collaboration with PUMA, Ronnie Fieg teamed up with fashion boutique Dover Street Market and chose PUMA’s iconic XT-2 model to create the Ronnie Fieg XT-2 “Achromatic”. <\/p>\n

The XT-2 remains one of PUMA’s most popular flagships, with its famous Trinomic cushioning system. Honeycomb cushioning first appeared in PUMA’s running shoe collections in the late 1980s, and evolved in the 1990s. The cushioning technology, integrated into the sole, reduces the impact of the stride while returning energy to the runner. This innovation explains the success in the early 90s of runners seeking a technological edge. <\/p>\n Inspired by Dover Street Market, Ronnie Fieg broke away from the traditional sporting influences of the XT-2 to create a shoe designed with aesthetics and quality in mind:<\/p>\n “The Achromatic collection was inspired by my favorite store, Dover Street Market. DSM serves a clientele above all looking for exclusivity and quality. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong>Achromatic means colorless. Available only in black and white, these sneakers are just that – sneakers. Any indication of brand name has disappeared from the product. I wanted to make a model that would be judged solely on its line, materials and workmanship. A project where quality takes precedence over brand or designer.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The PUMA x Ronnie Fieg XT-2 for Dover Street Market brings a seductive new aesthetic to 1990s sneaker favorites. Carefully thought-out pattern changes enabled the two collaborators to effortlessly replace the typical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) parts with thick, high-quality leather to create a high-end product. The XT-2 model is highly sophisticated, with an Italian glove leather upper, soft cowhide lining and precision quilting. <\/p>\n Unwavering attention to detail and quality goes beyond the manufacturing process. The XT-2 is presented in a high-quality cowhide cover with lace pocket and custom box, making the PUMA x Ronnie Fieg “Achromatic” for Dover Street Market one of the most accomplished sneakers ever offered to the public. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The PUMA x Ronnie Fieg XT-2 “Achromatic” for Dover Street Market will go on sale only at KITH and Dover Street Market stores on July 26 for US$180, \u00a3140 and \u00a522,000 .<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
