U guys should make a podcast
Gung i maybe in the future thanks for the tip 😎 -Nacho
Yo this is Bryan, yes we are launching a podcast in 2020 so be on the lookout
@@NachoAverageFinds soo hyped for those pod jahh bless y'all
@@NachoAverageFinds do a history on pumas racing shoes lol i want to know more
I can help if y'all need some
The Puma suede is actually pretty comfortable for being a classic
Duke It is! They feel amazing right out of the box. No breaking them in
A bit heavy but that was pretty normal for a classic
I can skate in these
@@adamismail2883 do you know how heavy it is compared to vans?

My gym teacher in middle school had a pair of green suedes with the white stripe. I couldn't imagine spending $22.50 (yes that was the price in 76-77) on a pair of green Pumas but that started it for me . My friends and I would bike to the local sporting goods store a town away just to look at them.I saved up $12 and my mother put in the rest (Pro Keds or Converse canvas were $10-12). I bought a pair in blue with white stripes. I didn't stop looking down at my feet for months. I couldn't believe I finally had a pair of my own. Super quality materials and workmanship. While in college, I worked in that sporting goods store and witnessed the whole industry explode through the years. Magical time to unpack those Jordan 1's from their master carton in the 80's.
Thank you for sharing!
Story time: Me growing up in Brooklyn...10-11 years old...family is on the poor end of the spectrum...with Mother shopping for upcoming school year...spotted a pair of these bad boys in my size...$30...$30 damn dollars...tia nothing but a large lunch these days but back then it was a King’s ransom...begged and pleaded with my Mother...I still can’t believe she said yes...I have never felt “fresher” then I did the following first day of school. You will always be #1 to me PUMA.
Pumas are Classics Real Hip Hop
Dee jose2480 They sure are!
I like the Puma’s, but I prefer shell toes
Troops were hip hop actually
Not to be mean but u sound like Garfield
Pineapple coke76 hahaha I love it
@@NachoAverageFinds "John, get Odie & my lasagna"😂💯
I'm wearing a pair, right now. I didn't get them until 2019. My first thought was, "What took me so long?" They are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn and I'm in my late 50's.
It’s all good brotha❤! Long as u feel good
Puma still rocks for me til this day. Got the Puma Roma too 🙌🏼
L . O . R Puma is so underrated!
I like the shoe. It just doesn't look good in a size 12.
Can you do a history of adidas sambas
Ian Garay Definitely plan on doing it
Please do Onitsuka tiger Mexico 66 if you can, may not be big america but its big in asia
James Gatz I love the Mexico 🇲🇽 66 we might do something like that 🤔🤔
NachoAverageFinds yes! I hope you can. There are so many Collabs and the nippon made line is insane. Could even be a general history of ASICS
Yes please!!! Tigers are sick
Nicocchi this man gets it!!!
A bit of sneaker history, why cant we learn about this in history class?
jaden yuki They should teach it in high schools man
there are many more important things to learn than learning about sneakers
@@blazeix6094 Cultural history is very important. It shouldn't ave priority over subjects like English, math, or science but would still be a good elective.
@@bloodycinephile True but Americans rank near the bottom of developed countries in education ,so you may as well teach about sneakers.
@@outkast40 I never said anything about sneaker education I said schools should teach cultural history.
Such a cool video. Puma has been way underrated for way too long. Love what they’ve been doing the last few years. I have the 68 Olympics track jacket, and found out a guy I work with was there when that moment happened!
Timberland history video?
AddTexture Ok if we ever do a boot video best believe that’s gonna be the first one 😎😎

Can we also appreciate that the Australian who was also on the podium was wearing a Badge in support of the black community. Who was then subsequently banned and looked over by the Australian olympic committee for doing what was right and was never given an apology before his death.
some australians still believe that what he did was wrong. sucks that people pretend that racism is a thing of the past
that's Peter Norman, Smith and Carlos were pallbearers at his funeral. if you look it up, there's pictures of them carrying his coffin 🥲✊🏿
I always think of the puma suede as the "other" classic skate shoe. I don't think it's really anybody's first choice these days, but it is really nice.
The thing I like about suede is,even tho they're iconic sneakers,they are not expensive..
Alshan Muhammed Exactly! You can easily find these anywhere for 30-40 bucks!
@@NachoAverageFinds The bullshit ones. Try on an OG pair, and you'll see the difference
@@randee4550 we are talking about OGs..It only cost about 2500rupees(about 40$)in puma outlets in India...
@@doughboy1869 90681's? Doubt it. Dudes still wear open toe sandals, in India. Never seen a pair of official pumas there
Ran Dee lol you just salty. Where are you viewing India from? 🤔
Puma Suedes hold a special place in my heart. I was a kid during the break dance era of the 80’s, and it was all about Shell Toe Adidas or Puma Suedes. At least in my neighborhood, Puma was the go to shoe. More color ways meant more options to make an outfit with another item that was just as essential to B-Boys….colored Lee Jeans. The standard B-Boy outfit of the time in my hood was a Windbreaker, Colored Lees, and fat laced Puma Suedes. With either the Pumas or the fat laces color matched the Lees. My mom didn’t have much money back then so she only bought me the white leather Pumas with the black stripe instead of the suedes. I did get black fat laces though. So I pretty much was stuck with black and white fits for that time, lol. Now as an adult with my own cash, if I find a shoe I like. I buy 3 or 4 of its color ways. My Puma Suedes were Black, Royal, and Red.
I swear i pull up with these to school and next week everyone else does too
Your a trend setter then
😂😂😂😂
Fr thooo
Thats my staple shoe. Goes with just about everything. As a matter of fact I have two pair.
Vern J I love them when they’re fresh out the box 📦
Y’all should do one on the Reebok Pump! Btw love this series
Daniel Quijano Of course man we love Reebok! Def going to do a Pump technology video
NachoAverageFinds Sick !! Can’t wait to see!!
Lol , I can do that for you right now. ....Reebok pumps had a LOT of hype but in the end us kids preferred Jordan's to....pumps. So kids who were fans of "new kids on the block & steve Urkell" wore them 😂
@@NachoAverageFinds Reebok classics are the only good sneakers they had. The ones from cir 1985 that ppl used to wear to do aerobics. No other Reebok has culture. Not where I'm from anyway.
@@NachoAverageFinds PLEASE do a video on the "top tens Adidas"....NOT the "top 10 Adidas shoes ever" but "THE ADIDAS TOP TENS". love those shoes.
When I was a kid growing up in the seventies, this was THE sneaker, there was nothing more coveted and if you had a pair you had it made in the shade.
I own a pair right now I love em
TotalwardenHD classic and iconic 🙌
Saya baru aja beli barusan
My favorite sneaker puma sued
the hunter of death One of the best out there 😎
Who are they suing
Puma fan since 1986 and my collection still growing !
The suede are timeless classics I've had countless pairs, the biggest issue is they fade out if you try to clean them... especially the black ones 😓
Any solution and should I buy?... Looks stunning Though
Do underarmour history or new balance history
Reaper new Balance video is coming forsure
This video brought back so many childhood memories growing up in East New York, Brooklyn! Rocking the blue suede Puma with the Fat untied laces was the ish in the mid/late 70’s early 80’s to school and the roller rink was just Classic!
Reginald Mackey Damn Reginald! I’m
Jealous you actually lived it! That’s amazing man. If I had a time machine...
People outside ny might not know that people were getting robbed for pumas back in the early/mid 80s..i was almost a vic!! Lol
If your feets size is more than 7 than don't buy this it wont suit over! . Go for another classic : puma caracal style .
Hahha good advice
Been wearing Pumas since 1978 when I was 15.Always wore the all white leather low and high tops.Have had almost every color suede. Classic and Clydes.At 59 yrs old, I currently have 17 pairs of Pumas, 14 of them suede.Growing up in the Bronx in the 70s and 80s, it was nothing but Pumas and Adidas for us.Pumas just had a stylish look and went perfect with our Lee jeans, mock necks and cardigans.
Well done. My other favorite suede shoe from the 60s (1966) is the Adidas Gazelle. The 1991 version is still in production today and remains my favorite sneaker.
You forgot to mention Nipsey Hussles Puma collaboration!
These are so relaxing to watch, like damn I don’t even like the puma suede but I’ll still watch the video.
Ezra Gonzalez 😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed the video
burn
Does video about Pumas with an Adidas hat on. Love it!!!
Josh Hampton haha We are not loyal to any brands here man
I have a pair. I think it’s the 50th year edition or something
Clay Soggyfries Aw yeah those are dope. They have the rudolf logo on them
I have two pairs of 50 edition... tee and cap so iconic
Oi you can’t leave out that the white australian on the podium gave them the gloves and he was stripped for all his medals for supporting what the Americans were doing, that white australian was banned and disowned from his own country. At his death the Americans went to his funeral and even held the casket. The australia was ment to be the fastest man alive
Puma and the Suede will always be associated with jamiroquai and his sublime clips of the 90' for me.
Yes he wore puma states as they called them then, now we have to say suede lol
Why u guys more complex than a complex ! Hahahah i love ur channel dude
Bagas Maulana Y haha Thanks man! We homegrown 😎 Complex is lit but more corporate
Always respect a homie👏
Nobody called suede pumas, "Puma Suede". That's a 2010's thing. And the cheaply constructed "Puma Suede" are hideous. The OG's, from the streets of NYC, were the Puma Basket, Clyde, and the classic suede pumas (model 90681).
Appreciate the input 😎
@@NachoAverageFinds Yea, man. Other than the images from Beatv Street, Shabaz, and the vintage Puma adverts, you used new images, to speak about 70's/80's shoes
And if you own the new Puma with smooth soles and Puma on the side instead of the rear your a poser...LOL
sugashack74 😂😂😂
As always, great content, well researched, thanks for this treat guys, love it! Cheers! 😊
Shoe recommendations:
Nike air monarch, and the dad shoe trend
Reebok Classic
Reebok Pump
Jack Purcell
Real dope video but one tip, call it 'breaking' instead 'breakdancing' cuz some people are really sensitive about that. But great video tho, i'm a fan for sure 🔥🔥
Nice use of background music in this one guys, love the video!
Nick Walkenbach glad you enjoyed it
Growing up in the late 1960's-early 70's Converse revamped Chucks for Sears Roebuck & co calling them "the winner" they advertised in Boys life magazine and heavily in Sears stores. They were the biggest thing in style at that time, the golden yellow with black stripes jes' killed it. Then, it all changed overnight. Adidas introduced the gazelle in blue suede and Puma, the Clyde in midnight blue and it was all over for Converse by 1973. The guys started calling the winner shoes "fish heads" "don't yer' daddy have a job" they would catcall any boy that was'nt up to date. The die was cast. On ebay the gold/black "winner" low cuts can bring up to $3000.00 if they are clean. I'm 60 and still wear dark blue Puma Suedes.
A puma isn't a panther unless its black and the logo isn't black
I don't wear suede leather shoes but this Puma are beautiful. My favourite bands wore them. BYW, I don't usually follow sneakerheads YT channel, yours is classy.
When it says 20 seconds ago
haha
When it says 23 hours ago :c
i like you’re gonz hat
i saw it at zumiez but i couldn’t find that colorway😔
A Parra Aw I didn’t even know they had other colorways? It’s a sick hat dude! Grab whatever colorway you can 😎
These are only $24 at Costco (:
George Kirkland Gang 😎😎🙌
Ironically made by a former hitler youth
robert keenan that’s a whole different video
Puma#1
Francisco Gutierrez Orale!
PUMA is a COUGAR not a Black Panther completely different by far !
PJFROMTHEPJS 😂😂😂
I am very surprised that you didn't mentioned Nipsey Hussle. He is by far the most prolific celebrity to endorse the puma suede. Nipsey's multiple puma suedes is still going strong posthumously. Even his girl Lauren London is apart of this puma suede partnership too. 🏁🏁🏁
He’s why I’m here
back in 79 i saved my allowance $3 a week to get the black/white puma leather .price was $29.99 after tax $32 and change you couldn't tell i wasn't the man i felt like was 8 feet tall. the puma and adidas shell toe are the most comfortable sneakers i have ever wore. There better than the yeezys
PAUL H That’s an amazing story Paul!
Had a navy blue pair with white stripe in the early 90's
Where is the shopping videos nacho??
Great video!
K R Y Z H A L I D We post those strictly on TikTok now since most people seem to like the history videos more. Thanks for watching G!
I dig the history videos on these sneakers. How about a vid on the sneaker wars of the mid to late 80’s? BK’s, Reebok, Nike, Adidas, Troop, Lotto, Cons, LA Gear, Fila, Ellesse etc.... that would be a great vid.
LUIS AGUILAR That would be an amazing episode! Finding archival footage would be a challenge
First ever shoes I remember having when I was 2 years old in New York was black Puma suedes with a red stripe 😎👍
d fernandez Ohhh those sound so sick lol Red and Black would go nice on that shoe
Interesting. But here’s a question.. where do Puma States fit into this story please?
Mattie Dixon What’s up Mattie, off the top of my head, I’m not sure. I need to do more research!
Wow I'm a white girl and my go to shoes have Always been Puma suede.. I've had almost every color throughout the years... always got compliments from people.. never knew any of this.. thanks for the history lesson..
Adidas Continental 80 video
Beckham Ntike I’m starting to realize a lot of people want that video 😂 I’m going to research the history
Y’all should do the Jordan 1
Elijah Beach Very very soon my friend. Probably in February
I grabbed a pair of a Puma Suede cuz of this vid. I now view Puma different way, like it's so underrated
Everytime you guys talk about a sneaker model , just made me really want to buy one
KIDREAM 052 same here haha every time I make a video I want to buy one during the process
Love me a pair of puma suedes. I mostly wear work boots these days, but when I buy sneakers it’s always 1 pair of black on black chuck taylors, 1 pair of white on white AF 1s and a pair of the tan on black puma suedes.
how about a video about the reebok classics ?
Jose M. I love Reebok it will definitely get its own video
The logo isn't a panther it's a puma
Loved the shoutouts to Tommie Smith and breakdancing culture! I got 3 pairs, probably one of my all time favorites. Great video as always!
Fred Funkledunk Nice! I’ve owned so many pairs in my lifetime too. Thanks for watching Fred 🙏
Reebok classic nylon black/white
Soliaire Yee yee some Reebok videos coming in 2020
Imma tell you what. There are new Puma baskets that have this smooth section under the Puma stamp in the sole. That in itself took away from the original Puma Sole I knew. The Clydes kept that original rough sole all around.
this is DOPE. here.. hold this sub, bro.
Mr. Blonde Thanks for that bro! Appreciate it
I love my Puma Suede. :)
By talking suede, the sho a new balance made in USA, best suede on sport shoes in the market.
New Balance 990 video in the works
Amazing channel and killer content! Thank you so much for this excellent presentation. I learned so much about one of my all-time favorite shoes.
One of my favorite sneakers along with Adidas superstar n Stan Smith 😊
Even though these sneakers retail any where from $60 - $70, these sneakers can be caught on sale or clearance from $30 - $50 making them more affordable than ever for a sneaker under $100.
Damn yall picked the best skate clips! Daewon, Kareem, stevie!!!
Yall know what time it is!
Keep up the good work. Props from New Zealand
Imma tell you what. Puma needs to re launch that Puma Basket that you showed that is half leather half suede.
sugashack74 I love the basket they bring em out from time to time
Love these videos dude, thank you for another one
Nick Walkenbach thanks for watching 😎😎😎🙌🙌
Paul walker use it on fast 4
who got Puma Suede Sakura version ?
Kevin Hoang Those are clean, I use to see them at Ross
i've been buying puma suede's for years. today i got a new pair and when the package came i wasn't pleased to find that the tongue wasn't the original leather and overall the shoe was softer. i got them from zappos, so they're definitely not fake. i'm just wondering if these are the new edition or something ?
g Hmm usually the shoes feel pretty high quality whenever I hold them. Maybe reach out to Zappos. They have amazing customer service
Puma's material quality has fallen over the years.
@@TheJoe89jan quite honestly these new ones feel pretty shit on my feet compared to my other ones. they should bring back the original build for these as they are classics. the other ones are whatever
They're nice trainers and some good history in video. Some pretty cool and inspirational people in video. I love your video - it's excellent and very cool - just like the trainers featured. 🍻👌
Jon Clark Thanks for watching Jon!
Do a show about the canvas Ivan Lendl adidas, that was iconic but what happened to them and why are they impossible to get now? Almost like they never existed.
Omar Little that’s such a great ideas for a video. Thanks Omar! We want to start making more Adidas videos this year
Can I share this video ?
I wanna see new balance 997,998 . With the big guy no offense.
Imricksboss hahaha it’s coming
It was in the Sonic movie
Swirl AndTwirl Powerful moment in history
big fan of puma here, thanks for the video, very informational. I actually never owned a Suede, but had plenty of Clydes and Basket
They're basically the same shoe lol slight differences. Thanks for watching!
I like the subject, but I feel your videos are not long enough for the topic you present 😉!
I'm not hating just a observation your channel has good potential to be something good!
Nah I appreciate you! I agree actually that they are too short lol If I made them longer I would only be uploading once a month though cause these vids take forever to make lol I'm hoping to increase the length of the videos in the future when we have a bigger budget. Thanks for watching!
now i know, puma suede, puma basket and puma clyde is from the same blood. thanks man.
gakbrenti No worries man! Thanks for watching!!
I like the Puma Suede, although I think the sole on the Adidas Campus is more durable. The Dassler rivalry strikes again?
Hey guys I like the channel very informative. Do you have any history on LOTTO sneakers. Growing up I used to see stylish dudes wearing them?
Danny Espinal I had to look that up right now lol that’s interesting. I need to research them more
Great I’m looking forward to you guys findings? Like I said they were very popular in the mid 80 to early 90s. All the stylish and hip dudes were rocking them here in NYC hoods, I never got a pair. Then they just disappeared.
Looking forward to the Jordan 1 episode!
Ac Benny It’s coming! Most likely February
I barely have any Pumas in my collection and in Zambia it's hard to find them outside of major retailers like TotalSport and Studio88 who tend to sell them at resale price equivalent to the USD. I usually have plugs who do the job and sell at thrift prices which is how my collection grew except for Vans and chucks which are very much affordable here at retail price. Zambia's sneaker community has grown massively through the years and your videos have helped my passions grow further. Hoping a sneakerhead from my side of the world also sees what you guys have done!! Definitely need to cop more pumas especially the suede. I'd love to see a video on the Adidas Gazelles or DCs maybe even the rise and fall of Supra that would be epic!!!
Jay Mazyopa What up Jay!? Thanks for the thoughtful comment man. The rise and fall of Supra is a good idea! I think we will definitely being that one soon thanks to you haha good luck finding PUMA out there man. Appreciate the support
Puma Suedes and Hip Hop - you mention the weeknd, Big Sean and Rihanna and manage to leave out the entire line from Yo! MTV Raps and you fail to mention the Suede 50th anniversary B-Boy special editions?
Research, Jack.
Tradecraft Audio 😂😂😂 easy killer I try keep the videos short and to the point
finally yall uploaded😭😭😭i LOVE these videos!
sophie we was in the lab 🔬😂😂
What country treats blacks better? Which country has more black millionaires? How come nobody gives countries like Japan shit for not having black people in their government?
Puma did make some skate shoes they were your typical big and chunky shoe
GamerShovv Yeah I should gone more in depth on that part. Was really trying to put this video out there ASAP though! Happy New Year!
