Packer Shoes collaborates with Saucony and hip-hop producer Just Blaze on an homage to the street style of the early nineties. Done on the ever-popular Grid 9000, this collab zeroes in on a specific piece of clothing of the era: the blue, red and yellow Polo Ralph Lauren “Snow Beach” pullover. Hip-hop fans likely remember this exact jacket from the video for Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 track “Can It Be So Simple,” shown off by Raekwon as he delivers his verse.
