Overkill x Puma
"Ocean Drive"

Once again we teamed up with Puma to release a pack of two sneakers inspired by Miami Vice on September 18th.

Back to the pastel Miami of the 80s with the Overkill x Puma Slipstream Lo & Blaze of Glory Ocean Drive.

Neon lights, palm trees, and crime – the two cops Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs and their investigations in the crime scene of South Florida have left their mark on us and the Eighties. The US series Miami Vice and its protagonists were groundbreaking and style-setting in many ways. Hard cuts and fast sequences of images, combined with slow-motion shots and lighting that reflected Miami’s nightlife, made this series look like a music clip. It was a style of production that had not been seen before and inspired many series that followed. Plus the cool style that runs through all the episodes: Loafers without socks, blazers over T-shirts, everything in pastel shades. A look that left an impression on a whole generation.

Overkill x Puma Slipstream Lo Ocean Drive
For the Slipstream Lo, we chose a soft white premium leather for the upper, complemented by a smooth leather lining in pink. The formstripe is made of light blue suede and trimmed in pink. Details such as specially designed tongue labels and insoles, as well as printed co-brandings in Miami Vice style on the heels give the shoes that special something and additionally refer to the source of inspiration. Various co-branded lace jewels, an extra pair of laces, and a creamy white midsole complete the Slipstream Lo.

Overkill x Puma Blaze Of Glory Ocean Drive
The Blaze Of Glory shows more color compared to the Slipstream Lo. The upper, which consists of various materials such as smooth leather, suede, nylon, and pinstripe mesh, is kept in a light blue that could also be found in Sonny Crockett’s wardrobe. The color scheme is complemented by pink accents, for example on the side panels or the sock liner. We also find a lot of details on the Blaze Of Glory. We specially designed and co-branded tongue labels, gold logo embossing on the heels and the same inner soles as the Slipstream Lo speak a clear Overkill language. Plus branding on the heel tabs and midsole and an embossed palm tree graphic on the rear outsole. The Blaze Of Glory also features extra laces and various lace jewels.

Extras
Both shoes come in specially designed boxes, the Blaze Of Glory in a special triangular box – a special goodie for all collectors.
