Montreal-based imprint JJJJound works together with PUMA on a new tonal iteration of the Suede sneaker that is set to join the Fall/Winter 2022 roster. It arrives in a deep green hue for a minimal look and is detailed with a crisp white rubber outsole unit.
The interior of the sneaker is detailed with the JJJJound logo as well and the forefoot is secured with navy blue tonal laces. A metallic branding can be seen on the lateral side of the shoe nodding to PUMA along with its motif. The stripe along the lateral side is detailed in a cream hue for a muted tonal look and the shoes are set to launch sometime in the next few weeks.
