PUMA and MCM Join to Commemorate Suede's 50 Year Anniversary
Sportswear label PUMA taps into luxe accessory brand MCM to celebrate Suede's 50 Year Anniversary. The Suede sneaker silhouette is one of the most iconic PUMA heritage sneakers and has remained relevant for the many years it has been in circulation. The two labels now collectively celebrate the five strong decades of the Suede shoes with an upcoming collaborative range. MCM gives the classic shoe an elevated makeover and offers two new colorway options.
The new celebratory iterations will be available in either a brown and black colorway or a white and grey option. Each one will boast MCM's signature all-over monogram imprint across its uppers. The sole units are shown in a clean white hue to contrast the loud design that rests above. Additionally, there will be co-branded insoles, leather crafted laces, and a gold plate detailing each tongue. The PUMA x MCM Suede sneakers will be available beginning May 24.
