PF Flyers Sporting Life 2010 Preview

pf_opener1

Last night in New York City’s fashion district, PF Flyers held court with their Sporting Life 2010 collection preview. Many people remember PF Flyers from Benny the Jet Rodriguez’s famous fence jump from the ‘93 classic The Sandlot. PF Flyer’s has actually been in the game for over 70 years repping Posture and Foundation, hence the acronym PF. PF has also outfitted long time Celtics Great Bob Cousy with signature on court kicks throughout his illustrious career. They’ve even worked up a special Kelly Green Celtics colorway for Spring 2010.

The Sporting Life collection features kicks for both on and off the hardwood. From the reissue of the ‘43 classic, the Rambler Hi, to the newly designed sequin printed Glide. PF has produced an interesting take on materials from premium leather, to standard canvas, as they try to reclaim the position the brand once held in the ’40s and ’50s. Peruse the pictures of the collection after the jump, and decide for yourself whether you’ll be rocking some Posture and Foundation’s this spring.

A classic from generations past, many of us remember PF Flyers from The Sandlot. But long before that, all the way back in 1953, the PF Flyers Center Hi first released for basketball use. And while it may not be as suitable for the court as it once was, this silhouette is back for this 2009 Holiday season in three new color-ups.

These are coming in a textile material, with two being woven and one quilted. The tan and black pairs feature identical construction, utilizing leather along the laces, the logo patch and the toe cap. The tan pair also features work boot-style laces. The third pair is more unique, featuring a different textile material and a quilted pattern. This pair also uses a tan vulcanized sole with multicolor striping, while the other two use a white sole with the ribbed toe cap.

PF-Flyers Bob Cousy All American

PF-Flyers Bob Cousy All AmericanYou probably have heard this story before. A man born in New York, takes up basketball as a teenager, goes to college where he wins an NCAA Championship, turns around his new NBA team from awful to awesome, retires after grabbing 6 rings, and comes back when he is old enough to be the father of some of his teammates. Many of you may be thinking of Michael Jordan, but a generation before Mike was born, Bob Cousy was making history.

During Cousy’s pro career he had one shoe of choice, PF-Flyers.  Though details are a little scarce, it is said by some accounts that Cousy was the first NBA player to have a signature with the release of the PF-Flyers Cousy All American Lo in 1956.  (There is still debate whether his name was on the product back then.)

This fall PF-Flyers is reissuing the Bob Cousy All American in a number of tonal colorups.  Click here to see the entire lineup.

PF Flyers Wind Jammer Mid

PF Flyers Wind Jammer MidPF Flyers has released three basic colorways: magenta, brown, and sky blue in their Wind Jammer Mid model. The Wind Jammer Mid is PF Flyers’ take on the classic chukka and it appears that they have done it justice. Each make-up is comprised of a wholly suede upper anchored by a vulcanized sole. On each sneaker, the foxing and “P.F.” insignia identify themselves as the only attributes to deviate from the majority color dominating the upper. This facet allows for some contrast within the shoe thereby rising it above yet another banal minimalist silhouette.
