One colour, top to bottom. This Re:Style edition renders upper and sole alike in white, removing the contrast the shape usually leans on. Puma released it on May 12, 2022 at 75 dollars. Without a contrasting Formstrip the profile has to be read through texture and stitch lines alone, which turns a familiar outline into something noticeably quieter on the foot.
All-white sneakers occupy a specific place in a wardrobe: they go with anything and stay presentable for about six weeks. In brushed leather that window is shorter still, because nap cannot be wiped the way a coated surface can, and a mark has to be brushed out rather than cleaned off. The upside is that a white nap looks considerably better than white smooth leather while it lasts, with a soft depth that plastic-finished uppers never reach. It is the right pair for someone who wants the shape without the branding shouting, and the wrong one for anyone planning to wear it through a wet autumn.
