Sportswear label PUMA introduces its latest LQD CELL Optic sneaker, which is a unisex footwear model that blends different structures together. The base foundation of the sneaker is predominantly slender in shape whilst sitting on top of a slightly chunkier foundation at the midsoles.
Notably, the uppers boast a translucent finish to showcase the colorful patterning that lies beneath. The midsole also displays the label's signature LQD CELL cushioning, with the overall selling point highlighting the versatility of the shoe's function. The midsole is made from several cells that are shaped like hexagons in a soft manner that ultimately deliver comfort and stability. The colorful uppers blend together bright hits of neon yellow, orange, blue, teal, with some rooted hues of white and gray.
