To ring in its 15th anniversary, NYC Lower East Side streetwear brand ALIFE created and collaborated with footwear brand Puma to release a Spring 2015 apparel and footwear collection, bringing some of the ALIFE soul into the shoe brand’s lifestyle lines.

In addition to their earlier releases in February, the ALIFE X Puma Collaboration dropped (literally out of nowhere) four more pieces to the footwear line, two of which we were lucky enough to bear witness at their local launching in Sole Academy, Bonifacio High Street.

ALIFE X Puma Disc Blaze “Piranha”

Taken from key elements in the ALIFE store, this particular sneaker was inspired by the piranha tank display at the ALIFE store, which was created by the team from the Natural History Museum who actually make the dioramas in the museum.

ALIFE X Puma “Blaze of Glory”

Taking inspiration from the essence of ALIFE is not possible without taking something from the ALIFE Sessions, intimate courtyard parties thrown by the ALIFE crew, from which the Blaze of Glory was inspired by. With textured leather on the uppers and mesh inspired by vintage amps along with red, blue, and yellow pops of color that emulate audio cables.
