UNITED ARROWS & SONS' Poggy works in collaboration with German sportswear label PUMA on a new iteration of its signature PUMA Suede shoe in celebration of the model's 50th anniversary. The new version boasts a high-cut silhouette with a sock-like design throughout its uppers that have no straps for simplistic access. The iconic branding details across the original model have been stripped away in order to maintain a sleek and minimal design.
The iteration is offered in both men's sizes and women's sizes. To complement the shoe, the partnership also drops a monochromatic co-branded tee and a relaxed tracksuit. The set will see an early launch on September 15th online at UNITED ARROWS & SON, followed by a launch on PUMA Japan's website on September 29.
