A completely new model design, the Ronnie Fieg x Puma RF698 Mid "Sakura" was released as part of the Sakura pack also featuring an R698 design. The Sakura RF698 represented the later stages of the cherry blossoms that bloom for only 7-10 days in Japan. Fieg found his inspiration after a trip to Tokyo where he was able to experience the blooming of the cherry blossoms that later inspired his Puma Sakura collection. Not only was RF inspired by the beauty of the trees themselves, but he was also inspired by the people who gave thanks and offered much respect for nature during that time. After the beginning of the bloom, the cherry blossom eventually transitions from a deep cherry color into a darkly-hued blue. Composed of premium microperforated pigskin suede, with a beautiful navy nubuck toe box, the Cherry Blossom Pumas featured a gradient midsole that faded from the toe back to the mid-foot from the navy to cherry. Not only was this a new model from Ronnie Fieg and Puma that extended the original Puma R698 upwards into a mid, it was also that the first time that Ronnie Fieg had ever used a gradient midsole on one of his projects. Available at both Kith locations and online during the Spring of 2015 as part of the Tokyo Sakura Collection, the Ronnie Fieg x Puma RF698 Mid "Sakura" is a shoe that Ronnie himself considers to be one of his greatest accomplishments. - Style 359619-01 - Colorway Peacoat/Beet-Red - Retail Price 165 - Release Date 2015-03-28 - Featured false
