The PUMA 917 Lo Su-Pa lifestyle shoe is a retro-styled sneaker inspired by an unconventional combination: video games, motorsports, and the Porsche 917 race car. The low top, rubber-soled shoe displays a Black/White canvas upper covered by a black/white/burnt orange/light blue screen print design intended to resemble the 8-bit video game graphics of the 1980s. This lifestyle shoe colorway also reflects the paint scheme of the Porsche 917. The mildly pixelated print substitutes for a standard eye-stay, as well as for Puma's medial/lateral sidebar logo, toe cap, and leaping Puma logo at the heel. A game graphic brick wall print fabric serves as the sock liner. Underfoot, a racing-influenced tire tread rubber provides low profile traction.
