Alexander McQueen x PUMA Black Tech KO

Alexander McQueen was one of the most important english Designers of his time, not only because of his famous and glamorous outfits for Lady GaGa. On February 11th he passed away at the age of only 41 years, but his designs will be unforgotten.

His crossover into sportswear was perhaps best exemplified with his ongoing relationship with PUMA with a seasonal collection bearing his name. The Black Tech KO is presented here as it features a sleek mixed material upper with a nod to the traditional boxing boot.

• Pre-test weight-in and urine collection.
• 30-min cycling session.
