Global sportswear company, Puma, recently released the Clyde Court #Reform sneakers which are more than just a basketball shoe, they are part of a movement. The new sneakers made their debut in Chicago at The Alpha Space, 2014 S. Michigan Ave., where Puma was able to collaborate with Dave Jeff, owner and founder of Chicago’s own PHLI brand, to host a Forum on Probation and Parole Reform.
Because it's ALWAYS been about more than sneakers for me, but only a few people actually get it!
Mad love to Dave Jeff @TheRealDaveJeff for seeing it, identifying it and using his talents to bring awareness to the school-to-prison pipeline, reform that needs to take place and using his gifts to bring awareness to his community and the world.

Global sportswear company, Puma, recently released the Clyde Court #Reform sneakers which are more than just a basketball shoe, they are part of a movement. The new sneakers made their debut in Chicago at The Alpha Space, 2014 S.

Puma has committed to donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the Clyde Court #Reform sneakers to the Reform Alliance which is a nonprofit organization that is committed to reforming the United States criminal justice system.
The purpose of the Reform Alliance is to drastically reduce the number of people who are cycling through the criminal justice system by focusing on reforming probation and parole procedures.
