In July, the second pair of Puma x Haribo sneakers will be making their debut and the unique pair of Puma Suedes is full of details to delight sneakerheads and fans of the candy alike. The pair collaborated last month on a red, white, green and yellow pair of sneakers and these new ones embrace all warm tones of red, orange and yellow.
The sneakers feature playful details like a translucent sole that makes it look as though there are gummy bears trapped within the bottom of the shoe. There's also Haribo’s gummy tag branding on the heel of the PUMA x Haribo Suede Sneakers and a Goldbear hangtag attached to the sneaker as an accessory.
