Sneaker company Puma and luxury leather goods company MCM have announced the launch of their debut collaboration to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Suede Classics. PUMA X MCM pays tribute to the founding days of hip hop. The designs channel the DIY spirit of this era. Made in Italy, the 50th anniversary Suede reinvents the classic shoe with a focus on texture and detail. Its upper is constructed of durable Visetos canvas - redeveloped for this product to offer breathability and comfort. On the shoe’s tongue, a jewellery-polished brass plate bears the MCM logo and a unique registration number. Each pair includes coordinated laces in two styles: leather with contrasting edge-stain and fabric with metal tips. The shoes are housed in a textured “canvas” shoebox stamped with lacquered MCM logos and foil details. MCM offers the shoe in three colorways: classic cognac, white, and red-blue multicolor.
The PUMA x MCM limited-edition collection is available to buy from 24 May from END Clothing and Footpatrol.
