PUMA, ATMOS NYC and Mitsuaki Iwago have teamed up to bring you the PUMA x Atmos Endangered Species Collection, which includes six shoes featuring endangered animals. The collection is broken down into two different releases, the Polar Pack and the Asia Pack; both include three shoes inspired by the photography of highly-acclaimed National Geographic photographer, Mitsuaki Iwago.
Each shoe captures the unique characteristics of a specific animal and has a high quality image of Mr. Iwago’s prized photography printed on the removable insole. The name and habitat of each animal is on the reverse tongue and the outsole in both English and Japanese. The shoes were created in hopes of bringing attention to our impact on these endangered animals.
The PUMA x Atmos Harp Seal Clyde as part of the Polar Pack drops on Saturday, June 28th and draws its spotted upper from the fur of the Harp Seal and its blue ice sole from the animal’s natural habitat of the North Pole. The shoes come with three sets of colored laces and have the Atmos “A” on the heel. The Harp Seal was chosen due to its steady decrease in population.
The Polar Pack will be on sale only at Atmos NYC and Ubiq in Philadelphia beginning on June 28th, look for the Asia Pack later this summer.
