Clyde Banksy 'Turf War' Promo Sample

These exceptionally rare Banksy-designed trainers were created for the artist’s seminal Turf War exhibition in London in 2003, produced as part of the show’s sponsorship with Puma — one of the only instances in which Banksy collaborated with an outside brand. Believed to exist in a run of only 10–20 pairs, they were never made available commercially and were issued exclusively in connection with the exhibition, which famously featured live animals alongside Banksy’s paintings in a disused warehouse on Kingsland Road in London’s East End. Rendered in Banksy’s chosen Coffee / Sesame / Metallic Gold / White colorway, each pair features the Banksy tag in gold needle-stitched detail at the inner heel and the show title "Turf War" embroidered across the outer heel.

Offered here in perfectly preserved condition, the sneakers remain complete with their original promotional stickers on the insoles, and the original Puma cardboard box labeled for the exhibition. A rare surviving artifact from a pivotal moment in the artist’s early career, they represent one of the few physical objects ever produced under Banksy’s direct design direction — and a remarkable piece of street art history.

Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Banksy's former agent, a protective pelican case and the original box.
