To suggest that the Nike Air Force 1 is to New York as the Puma Suede is to London is no great stretch, each city even offering a nickname for these classic basketball kicks turned casual standards. The AF1s are often called ‘Uptowns’, though the various Bronx editions are the closest we’ve gotten to that as an official name, but this new release from the Puma Shadow Society goes all the way and prints the British-born nickname on its side panels.

The Puma Shadow Society even uses a pyramid eye logo on the lacebags that accompany these lush pairs of Puma Suede lowtops, teal and beige editions set to hit select retailers this Friday, August 26th. This anonymous group of collaborators also renamed this release the Puma State in honor of the model’s nickname in the UK, and you can see this name printed on their sides among other details when you click on the jump below.
