Latest iteration of the GV Special sneaker from PUMA, the “Laundry Boys” edition, is a fresh take on the classic 1983 tennis shoe. Known for its connection to tennis legend Guillermo Vilas, the GV Special has been reimagined with a special resin-coated upper. This unique feature makes the shoe scuff and dirt-repellent, ensuring it stays pristine and clean with each wear. The shoe’s playful and spotless design invites creativity, serving as a perfect canvas for scribbling and tagging, which can easily be wiped clean, allowing for endless customization.

The “Laundry Boys” edition draws inspiration from a nostalgic anecdote about the Dassler brothers, founders of the brand, who ran a laundry service in their hometown of Herzogenaurach. This backstory gives the sneaker its unique name and concept. The special edition sneakers come with custom packaging that reflects the aesthetic of traditional laundry detergent brands.
Originally introduced as the PUMA California, the GV Special was loved for its adaptability, suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. Over time, the shoe became synonymous with both tennis and street style, embraced by football casuals and terrace subculture.
The latest release maintains the classic silhouette’s iconic features, including the ultra-cushioned sole and perforated toebox. The new edition of the GV Special is not just a tribute to the past but keeps up with contemporary street style. PUMA has incorporated elements like the shoe’s resin-coated upper, giving it a sleek, appealing look.
By emphasizing the dirt-repellent properties and customizable design of the PUMA GV Special “Laundry Boys” edition, the brand offers fans both practicality and the freedom to personalize their fashion choices. The GV Special “Laundry Boys” will be available starting September 7, 2024, at select retailers.
