Check out these PUMA shoes that just came out on Sat May 16th. They’re crazy!

With the success the Cheech Wizard PUMA Clydes had back in 2007, PUMA once again called out to Mark Bodé to design a pair of sneakers to honor the artwork of his father, Vaughn Bodé. Mark and PUMA this time put together two pairs of the PUMA Mid in what is called ‘Da Lizard Pack’, a pack paying tribute to a lizard character named ‘Da Lizard’ that Vaughn Bodé created in the 1950’s.

They also made a high quality jersey hooded sweatshirt with attention to detail in the hood. Check out Da Lizard head on that!

Vaughn Bodé is one of the most influential American cartoonists of our time. Much of graffiti art itself comes from the work of Vaughn Bodé. Rendering his characters, lettering and cartoon semiotics is a rite of passage for graffiti art crews.


Here’s an animated short by Nigel Hendrickson, with input from Mark Bodé.
