LA streetwear brand, PLEASURES, has teamed up with Puma to give the iconic Puma Suede a new and bold twist to cap off the Suede?s 75th-anniversary festivities from 2023. Debuting today, here is a detailed look at the Pleasures x Puma Suede XL.
The Pleasures x Puma Suede XL gets its inspiration from the bulky skate sneakers that were super trendy back in the early 2000s. This “XL” version of the Puma Suede is given a “bigger” design in an effort to make it look more like the bulky kicks from 20+ years ago. The sneaker starts off with a Black suede base that is then offset by the Ivory hits on the Puma Formstrip on the side panels, inner lining and the revamped soles. Other defining features include the thicker tongue and the woven fat laces to further add to the inspiration of the sneaker. When it comes to branding, you will find the PLEASURES name on the tongue tag as well as on the insoles, while Puma branding appears on the heels and side panels. Additionally, the sneakers will also com with an extra set of White laces.
Retailing for $120, the Pleasures x Puma Suede XL made its debut today on the Pleasures website. This will be followed by a wider global release on January 6th at select retailers.
In release news, the Air Jordan 1 High OG WMNS Metallic Gold is set to release on February 14th.
