Denim is the twist on this Triplex, which pairs white with Peacoat, a dark navy, and applies a denim treatment to a shoe otherwise built from brushed leather. The layered Formstrip that names the model is still underneath it all. Puma released the pair on April 10, 2022 at 70 dollars, the going rate for the shape that year.
Navy and white with a denim reference is not a subtle idea, but it is a durable one: the combination has been on sport shoes for as long as sport shoes have been casual wear, and it is close to impossible to wear badly. The interest here is texture rather than palette, since a woven-look finish beside a napped one gives the upper two different surfaces catching light at once. Dark navy is also the most forgiving colour for a spring release in this material, holding up through rain where a pale pair would spot within a week. The white sections carry all of the risk, as usual.
