Ralph Sampson MC

The Ralph Sampson Mid was the signature basketball shoe of Hall-of-Famer Ralph Sampson. The new Ralph Sampson MC is PUMA’s contemporary update on the archive classic while keeping design elements of the original. Details like Ralph Sampson’s signature and the tongue construction reference its older counterpart, while the rest of the shoe received a more minimalist and cleaner, yet refined update. This execution references the toned down and minimal aesthetic of Scandinavian design with neutral colors and a leather upper with suede overlays.
