Puma built this women's Mayu on a canvas upper instead of the brushed pile the Suede family is named for. The base colour is ebony, a deep warm brown, cut with white across the Formstrip and the sidewall and with Nimbus Cloud, Puma's pale grey, on the supporting panels. It reached stores on June 20, 2022. The fabric swap is the point of the pair: canvas sits lighter on the foot, creases in a flatter way and stays cooler than nap leather, so the shape carries into summer without looking out of season.
Colour keeps the shoe quiet. Ebony and grey are close enough in tone that the white Formstrip is the only strong contrast on the whole upper, which puts the branding rather than the palette in charge of the look. That makes it an easy pair to wear against denim, cream knitwear or wide trousers, and it hides scuffing better than a pale canvas would. The Mayu is the women's-line reading of Puma's long-running low top, and this version treats it as a warm-weather staple rather than a statement colourway.
