If you’re familiar with the Cheech Wizard cartoon, then this sneaker would not only be a resurrection, but will be a great buy for you, considering that it is a tribute to one of the characters that made people laugh years ago.

Created by artists Vaughn Bode’, the Cheech Wizard is a cartoon character that made it to the National Lampoon and the Syracuse University pamphlet. The Wizard was known for his large yellow hat and his red leotards—the same design you will see on the Puma Clyde Vaughn Bode “Cheech Wizard” sneaker.

The Puma Clyde Vaughn Bode “Cheech Wizard” sneaker is a tribute to the life, albeit short-lived, of Vaugh Bode’. The fact that his creation is still being appreciated by today’s generation is proof that Bode’ is much ahead of his time.

This sneaker upper shows the influence of Cheech Wizard’s yellow hat, while the stars all over the upper symbolize the Wizard’s red leotards. If you do not think that is enough representation of this cartoon character then you need to look closer.

And if you’re observant, then you would still be able to see the influences of Bode’s work in some of today’s graffiti art.
