Sorry for startinga new thread but I'm having a bit of a clear out and in the back of my stack I found a pair of Puma Suedes I'd totally forgotten about owning. I think they're pretty old but not too sure. Am I right in thinking the last two digits of the Art. No. are the year of manufacture? cheers

@shellshock putting up a pic of the shoe/label if possible might help, depends really the last two digits could also be the number of colourways eg.

ART NO :350734 05
MADE ON DATE :05/10

Cheers, I'll get some pics up later. Right now, I'd better get my ass to work!

Ok, here's the shoes. Sorry bout the shit photography



And here's the stamp on the tongue. They don't have a label anywhere, other than a small 'Made in Taiwan ROC' one.



I also remembered I have this navy/natural pair



But now I'm not so sure about the last two digits being the year of manufacture as there's no way these are from '88, I bought them about 11-12 years ago

@Shellshock the top (Red) pair look like they are PUMA States and the ART number looks like 90681

Forever Fresh

So the date might be 06/91

The Blue pair of Suede's have the same art number as these:

PUMA Suede

But your factory is different but i believe that is quite common.
These have a made on date of 02/02 so i would maybe say your made on date was 11/00

Hope that helps.

Cheers for the help, much appreciated.

Looks like a nice find there bro!

Cheers Sam. It only came about because a shelf litterally collapsed under the weight of all the kicks piled on it, forcing a much needed sort out of the entire room. Stashed them away again, next time I remember them they'll be proper vintage!
