Alexander McQueen x PUMA AW2007 Zip Contour Sneakers
From the fourth collection of McQueen’s collaboration with PUMA that began in Spring/Summer 2006.
Titled “London Running Chain” sneakers, they featured in the AW2007 collaborative launch video.
The essence of the collaboration was “mixing the theatrical world of McQueen and the rigidity of PUMA’s Performance engineering,” according to then PUMA creative director, Darryl Matthews.
For McQueen, the partnership focused on creating a “totally unique product”; and making fashionable sportswear, rather than trying to turn sportswear into something fashionable
Early designs were inspired by human anatomy and were renowned for their futuristic, highly technical construction.
Similar pointed toe footwear appeared on the runway that season, in McQueen’s ‘In Memory of Elizabeth Howe, Salem, 1692’ collection.
