Product Description
Jumping on the opportunity to create one of his long-standing ideas, an unbranded and nameless shoe, Ronnie Fieg offered the Ronnie Fieg x Puma XT-2 "Achromatic-Black" in the summer of 2014. Using the best materials that had ever donned a Puma, the Black Achromatic XT2 featured an incredibly soft and luscious upper and sock liner composed exclusively of Italian leathers. Attempting to do what many brands would find unthinkable, RF did not want consumers to be influenced by a brand and to only be influenced by the styling and materials of the Achromatic Black Pumas. Provided in a custom Puma box with additional pig leather dust and lace bags, the RF Black Achromatic also came with two sets of tonal laces, one round and one flat, each finished with metal aglets. The Black RF Achromatic have a pure black upper with solid white mid and outsoles. Able to be worn with nearly anything, the rich materials and wearable set this Black Puma XT-2 apart. Somehow able to retail at $180 dollars, even with Italian leathers, the Black XT2 were available as part of a pack with an all-white pair via Kith pop-up shop in New York, both Kith NYC locations, and online. A limited number were also available from Dover Street Market and their DSM e-shop. Diverting from his historic color palettes and signature ways, the Ronnie Fieg x Puma XT-2 "Achromatic-Black" marked an incredibly successful mark in sneakers where materials and design out-shined branding.
