Autry took a trip to Miami this week to showcase its new sneaker collaboration with American artist Rob Pruitt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coinciding with Art Basel Miami, the footwear brand<\/a> transformed a gas station, customizing it for the occasion into the \u201cAutry Art Station.\u201d The company said in a release that the conceptual space was inspired by Pruitt\u2019s acclaimed chrome artworks including tire sculptures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The collaborative Rob Pruitt x Autry sneakers update the footwear brand\u2019s Medalist Low shoe model in a mirror-effect chrome leather and feature puffy silver laces, echoing the artist’s “chromed project” series of works. Pruitt\u2019s signature is also prominently displayed on the shoe side and outsole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pruitt said in a statement that he is drawn to outsider materials like tape, sprayed paint, glitter, and found objects.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMy language is direct, simple, minimal, and universal while tackling topics ranging from the light-hearted to the controversial,\u201d the artist said. \u201cThere is nothing more beautiful and excellent than the classic Autry sneaker<\/a>, which floods me with the impulse to chrome it, to put it on a pedestal, to celebrate its nostalgia and envision it moving into the future. The ephemeral reflective effect of the mirror finished leather turns every expectation around.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Only 2,500 pairs will be made available for the release and come in transparent dust bags and a plexiglass box decorated with the artist\u2019s signature smiley, Autry added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Autry is no stranger to big events like this new project in Miami. In September, the footwear company staged a 1960s inspired drive-in experience in the Marais district<\/a> of Paris where attendees enjoyed an open-air cinema, vintage cars, and classic American fare like burgers and milkshakes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The event marked the global debut of the Autry Windspin sneakers, a flat style crafted from soft and destressed suede. Its tapered silhouette is a nod to the trainers that were popular in 1960s and will be available in 30 variations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new Autry Art Station and exclusive sneaker collaboration debuts tonight during Art Basel at an event located at 331 23rd St. in Miami Beach from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Rob Pruitt x Autry sneakers, which retail for $380, are now available exclusively online at autry-usa.com.<\/p>\n
