PUMA x SANTA CRUZ
As part of the highly limited Puma List series, Puma have joined forces with Jim Phillips, who in 1987 designed one of the most iconic skate graphics ever, the Screaming Hand. Puma have encorporated this graphic and used it as the influence for this First Round Hi, which also appeared in 1987. The trainer is a tribute to Jim, who was a legendary rock poster artist & art director for Santa Cruz skateboards from 1975 - 1990. The First Round Hi features a blue nubuck upper with a glossy 3D screen-print highlighting the black line-work found on the Screaming Hand graphic. The heel has a molded silicon Screaming Hand graphic and the sock-liner sports an enlarged version of the graphic. Other features include a pearlized patent formstrip and collar, blood and veins leather lining, embroidered Santa Cruz logo on the tongue and 4 lace options (black, blue, white and vein red). ¶ 6:02 PM
