Buddy Guy left Louisiana for Chicago in 1957, and the rest, as they say, is history. The legendary bluesman became a global sensation, bringing his unique style and twang to every corner of the globe. With his mom still in Louisiana, though, Buddy promised that he would get famous, buy a polka-dot Cadillac, and drive back to the Bayou to show his mom he made it.
Buddy’s Polka Dots
Instead of a Cadillac, Guy got Fender to make a signature polka dot electric guitar, which eventually turned into a retail collab and an icon of Guy’s style. Always staying true to Louisiana’s incredible music history, local boutique Sneaker Politics took Buddy at his word, wrapping a Caddy and an adidas Handball Spezial in polka dots to celebrate the story.
