What goes on within a week in the sneaker scene is akin to the entire season in terms of designer It bags. The shoe drops occur at such high speed that you’ll miss a cavalcade of fresh kicks hitting the shelves in just the blink of an eye.
For Puma alone, they’re set to launch two new iterations of existing styles — the Suede 50 and Cali — in the coming week and the later part of the year. The former, a collab with Mattel’s Barbie; unabashedly girly in its fuchsia and black colourway, and oversized bow on the heel. The latter offers up a refreshed edition of the OG California, a pared-back kick that’s re-emerged as a thick-soled court sneaker in 2018 — staying true to its classical veneer but, monikered the Cali.
The final release is an archival model: the Cell Endura trainer. First released in 1998, its chunky silhouette is telling of a ’90s origin, but its 2018 homecoming sees it right at home with fashion’s soft spot for dad sneakers. Browse below.
The Puma Cali sneakers will drop at Limited Edt. and the Puma Select store at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands on Oct 2. The Puma Cell Endura will arrive at Leftfoot, Limited Edt. and the Puma Select store at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands on Oct 4. The Puma x Barbie Suede 50 will be available at Puma stores in Singapore from Dec 6.
