Effortless Stealthy Clogs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

PUMA Shines a Spotlight on its New Shibui Mule for Summer

— June 5, 2024 — Fashion
PUMA introduces a look at the Shibui mule, which was first seen earlier this year. It boasts a classic clog silhouette that is constructed from sturdy and cushioned EVA foam for comfort and support all at once. The footbed has a contoured structure that is blended with PUMA branding at the backstrap.

This ensures that it keeps the foot secured in place for summer activities. The sides of the shoe are detailed with some cutouts to allow for seamless breathability. The Shubui mules are adorned in tonal colorways including black, olive green, and off-white for a neutral palette. PUMA also has a line up of other sandals for the season including the Shibusa slides and the Shibiu Cat slides.
