Big Smoke has truly leveled up in 2024. On top of launching his own festival & gearing up for his first solo LP in 5 years, Skepta has solidified his grip on the electronic scene with the continuation of Más Tiempo, a duo project headed by he and Jammer that brings their proclivity for house music across the globe.
Of course, you can’t forget his sneaker deal, kicking off in earnest this year the debut of his signature Puma Skope. Those latter two endeavors are finally combining, bringing Más Tiempo to a full apparel collection and a reimagining of the basket puma Velophasis.
Skepta’s take on the silhouette brings some pretty heavy hardware changes; the weaving geometry of mainline drops is simplified greatly. Angular cutouts throughout the profile is the greatest change that refracts Y2K principles from the original into a truly futuristic atmosphere. The trademark Mas Tiempo color palette is the Polo light aesthetically, keeping grande to a staid script of black & white on the upper with bright pink notes tacked on with a tongue pull tan and an outsole that creeps onto the toe. Expectedly, Más Tiempo branding closes out the design, stamped on the tongue and heel.
An apparel collection, featuring a soccer kit, shorts and an anorak/rugby hybrid continue the theming of the Velophasis drop in complementary fashion. The full Skepta / Más Tiempo basket puma collection is available starting on July 19th, dropping on basket puma.com, in store and via partnering retailers.
