Lookie! These are metallic sneaks from the Puma Mihara Yasuhiro Collection. The metallic silver uppers have white accents and vampire red drips over the soles. This hot footwear line will stop shoe lovers in their tracks.
Ready in both high tops and low cuts, these Puma Mihara Yasuhiro sneakers are shiny examples of stylin'.
Implications - It could have been easy for a company like Puma to convince themselves that their sporty customers wouldn't be interested in style as well, but these metallic shoes are an example of how combining two different concerns into one product is never a misstep. In this way Puma creates a product that literally kills two birds with one stone, and that is something a huge number of consumers will appreciate.
