In 1968, one of the most iconic images of the complicated times that are known as the Civil Rights Movement, was Tommie Smith raising his clenched fist, covered by a black glove, while receiving his gold medal in the Mexico City Olympics. 40 years later, Puma pays tribute to Tommie Smith with a pair of Puma Suedes. Each colorway of the Suede receives a subtle all over print of the clenched fist image that made such a huge statement forty years ago. The heel tab also features the a gold colored “Mexico 1968” which pays tribute to the athletic accomplishments of Tommie Smith in those Olympic games. A well executed and appropriate tribute to one of the most memorable statements made, in the name of human rights. These are available now at Mita. |
