PUMA continues to celebrate its five decades of the signature Suede silhouette and this time with cult skateboard label Santa Cruz on a Screaming Hands capsule. The new collaborative range sees Santa Cruz's iconic Screaming Hand logo embellished on the suede sneakers and t-shirt. The newest iteration of the sneaker sees the monster hand motif on the side of each heel against the predominantly black uppers.
The label's signature Formstrip is replaced with the iconic scream motif. The artwork is continued on a black upper constructed from suede on top of a gum rubber sole with branding details from both labels on the tongue. To complement the launch, the two also dropped a collaborative t-shirt to go along with it.
The pack will be available online at PUMA and select retail locations beginning July 26th.
