Early this month, an unusual scene was observed at Vertigo, a nightclub in one of the major shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur. An old man known only as “Uncle Yin”, assumed to be in his seventies, entered the club dressed in a navy blue jacket, grey pants, and a pair of black PUMA Suede.
Dancing to hits like “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO and other famous dancing tracks, all eyes were on the old man the moment he stepped into the nightclub. Uncle Yinreceived cheers and applauses as he began showing off his moves to the beats the deejay was dropping. The young audience at Vertigo went wild when the supposedly old man began free styling dance routines at the drop of the bass.

The video of Uncle Yin dancing at Vertigo that night was made in conjunction with PUMA Social’s latest campaign, “Evolution of Suede“. It is aimed to show the evolution of dance in the period of 45 years, from the 60s till now. The release of the video is concurrent with the launch of the campaign website.
