Musician-Backed Minimal Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Skepta and PUMA Present the BLACK ICE PUMA SKOPE Forever

— August 20, 2024 — Fashion
PUMA and British musician Skepta continue to grow their collaboration with a refreshing variation of the PUMA SKOPE Forever sneaker model dubbed the BLACK ICE. The shoes arrive in its second colorway palette this time around following the all-black version detailed with reflective paneling and silver details last year. The BLACK ICE colorway is a lighter palette with beige as the main tone across the upper.

The shoe's minimal base brings stark attention to the shoe's contrasting black sole unit. It continues to the square-shaped tread pattern and it all supports the paneling finish throughout the upper. The BLACK ICE colorway is designed entirely by Skepta and the shoes are set to launch officially on August 24th for $200 -- it can be found at select retailers including Highsnobiety Shop.
