AMI and PUMA are the latest fashion duo to work in collaboration as the two launched a new collection that is described as "both comfortable and elegant." This marks the second time that the two forces are working alongside one another and it draws inspiration from the outdoors this time around, delivering a range of layers.
The new capsule highlights items such as the long mac coat that gets a thicker update to combat the cold season with its textured fabric construction. It is also joined by the popular tracksuits as well in new colors and fits along with a pair of dramatically large purple pants. It is rounded out by four different sneaker models led by PUMA.
