Almost tonal, this Triplex pairs Ivory Glow with white so the layered Formstrip carries the design instead of a colour contrast. Triplex refers to that stacked branding element, built from several pieces rather than cut from one. Puma released the pair in September 2022 at 80 dollars. In this colourway the layers separate by a shade at a time rather than by hue, a far subtler effect than the version done in purple and grey.
Cream on cream is the hardest finish to keep and one of the most satisfying to look at while it lasts. Nothing interrupts the upper, so the eye follows the shape and the stitching rather than a contrast panel, and the shoe reads as one object instead of a set of parts. That suits this silhouette, whose profile is strong enough to hold attention on its own. The trade is obvious: pale nap picks up everything, and the sole edge will go grey before the upper does. Budget for a protector and accept that it looks its best in the first month.
