Los Rakas are sending out Raka Love over the excitement of winning the Puma/Modelo Especial "Blank Canvas Project" Contest. The contest celebrates self-expression by fusing music, art, and style inspired by Modelo Especial.

Prior to the contest launch, the blank canvas of a PUMA sneaker was given to four musicians – Kevin Rudolf, John West, Los Rakas and Joell Ortiz – for each to create unique designs inspired by Modelo Especial and the artist’s unique sense of style. Fans were then able to vote for their favorite PUMA sneaker design on Modelo Especial’s Facebook page, and the winning design will be produced by Puma.

Receiving the most fan votes, Los Rakas was named the winner of the contest. Check out their personal thank you video to their fans which captures their excitement after learning they had been named the contest winners here!
