Puma Bluebird

Image
Originally released in 1982, the Puma Bluebird is the latest reissue from the impressively extensive Puma Archive to make an appearence at Fat Buddha Store . From it's conception, the Puma Bluebird's intention was to be a modern, lightweight running shoe. However the shoe and it's distinctive colourway were quickly adopted into the footballing culture of the 80's especially that of Cardiff City FC, nicknamed, The Bluebirds. The original silhouette was constructed of a suede upper on a natural colour injected/moulded PVC sole unit, and although the suede is very slightly lighter in colour on the reissue and the laces a little wider, we think Puma have hit the nail on the head with this one! The Puma Bluebird also comes in the Red Jester colourway which is seen above. Both shoes are available online and in store at Fat Buddha Store Now. Craig
