Roland Celebrates 808 Day with Some New Shoes



via Roland

"The PUMA x Roland RS-0 and RS-100 sneakers: two exclusive iterations in the colors of the 808’s iconic buttons.

Roland has been inventing and reinventing music culture since day one. Their iconic TR-808 Rhythm Composer inspired hip hop and other genres back in the ‘80s, and it’s gained a cult following in today’s remix culture. The PUMA x ROLAND RS-0 pays tribute to that ongoing reinvention of music and style, with an exclusive iteration appearing in the colors of the 808’s iconic buttons."

There are other designs there as well.

Update: video below featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff's funky fresh sneaks just came in.
The sneakers should have speakers for that deep bass beat while you walk down dat street!
