Imagine the perfect getaway from the city. The only real objective is to unwind and embrace the slow and mellow vibe of this escape from the busy daily life. This is the story of two friends, Olivia and Albert, who decided to trade the relentless pace of the city for a moment of peace and quite in their getaway trip to a charming summer house. A house that embodies warmth, timelessness with an underlying retro aesthetic, much like the Puma Super Team OG sneakers.
A brief dive into the history of Puma reveals how the Puma OG sneakers came to be. Rumors suggest that family ties may have been severed during their development. This was due to the Dassler brothers; Adolf Dassler combined his first name, "Adi," with the last three letters of his surname to form Adidas. Meanwhile, Rudolf followed by founding "Ruda," which later became Puma.

Arguably, this dispute led to one of the greatest sneakers of all time, which not only had a visually appealing look but was also used on pitches and courts for handball, as well as on the streets as part of the culture. The Super Team sneakers originally debuted in 1982, exclusively in Europe, but quickly gained
international attention, mainly due to what we today consider a classic gum
sole, which at the time was a novel feature. This meant that the shoe quickly became a part of youth culture worldwide!

A shoe that is 42 years old is like a time capsule, similar to a summerhouse, both filled with history and exuding a feeling of familiarity and quality. It's the kind of feeling that makes you want to forget everything about the routine of your daily life and just dance to enjoy the moment, and that's exactly what Olivia and Albert did.
Olivia wore the Puma OG in the Yellow Sizzle colorway, complemented by the Won Hundred Damian leather jacket, only to be offset by the lace tights, which are the only element that reminds us of city life. Meanwhile, Albert wore the vine colorway matched with the Aidan pants. Their slightly oversized fit just covers the shoe and gives a relaxed yet sophisticated look.

On the topic of history, the modern version of the Super Team OGs features a mesh upper as opposed to the original shoe, which was a full mesh version. This change was intended to add breathability. Additionally, the modern version also comes in multiple colorways including white, taupe, black, as well as the yellow and vine highlighted on Olivia and Albert.

The shoes are not just a testament to a historical brotherly dispute; they are also a testament to the importance of breaking away from the rhythm of everyday life, getting away from the city, spending time fooling around and dancing. Exploring the environment around you and doing it with a loved one. Olivia’s and Albert's trip to the summerhouse was a testament to this; more than just a temporary residence, it was an underlining of the power of a break from the mundane, a physical space that embodied the spirit of the Puma Super Team OGs.
