Puma Basket x Alex Albrandt | “A Fresh Combination”

Swedish graffiti artist Alex Albrandt has customized a pair of Puma Baskets. Here is what Albrandt had to say about his approach to creating the sneakers:

“I always like a good sneaker to be clean, not too much and not to little from a design aspect! I wanted to play to my strength… so I mixed the abstract sense to it, with a strong mix of dirtiness! I gave the tongues a heavy facelift, as the Puma Basket always looks good “Jailhouse Style” (No laces) …and shabang “A Fresh Combination”.

You can read the whole interview with him at soleheaven. And after the jump you´ll find some more pics.
