To celebrate Hip-Hop’s 50th birthday, PUMA, Roc-Nation Co-Founder Emory Jones, and footwear designer Alexander John came together for a Mixtape Collection. The apparel and footwear pay homage to the mixtape and its impact on hip-hop culture and beyond. Three colorways of the PUMA RS-XL were created based on different mixtape formats: cassettes, CDs, and playlists.

Each shoe features an “LGT Tag,” an NFC-powered chip from Legitimate, that unlocks exclusive content, weekly mixtape drops, and access to life behind the scenes as a Roc Nation artist. To unlock the exclusive, unreleased music and more from Roc Nation, tap your phone to the tongue of the RS-XL sneaker. The PUMA Mixtape Collection retails for $35-$130 and is available on Friday, July 14, exclusively online and in-store at Foot Locker, Champs Sports, and Champs Sports Canada.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
