The adventures of Pontus Karlsson

The boys over at SNS in Stockholm has put together this beautiful Puma Clyde, inspired by Sami art and culture. For those not so familiar with the Samis - it’s an ethnic group living in the north of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia deriving most of their income from reindeer farming. The shoe is of course made of reindeer leather and has nice Sami inspired trimmings. Good job guys!

Rumor says it that actor Robert Gustafsson is wearing an early prototype in a sketch in Swedish 1996 TV-series Percy Tårar, dressed up as a sami arguing about where the Compton of Sweden really is located and about the Sami’s problem with drive by shooting of reindeers.

I have a pair waiting for me in Stockholm. Thanks Peter! Can’t wait to sport it!
