PUMA x MAISON KITSUNE: SUMMER 2021
Puma has released its first ever collection with fashion imprint Maison Kitsuné - who's designs utilize a Paris-meets-Tokyo aesthetic mixed with the sportswear heritage of Puma. The collection doesn’t stray far from Kitsuné’s more simplistic creativity playing with earthy and neutral tones mixing quality utilitarian Tokyo street style with French upscale tailoring and classic silhouettes.
The limited edition collection features a combination of both Puma's Fastcat and M.K’s 'Kitsuné' fox, layering the brands logos on a multitude of their pieces. Garments include oversized graphic and embroidered tees in black, white, French maroon and brown as well as a classic MCS Track Jacket in the Parisian flag palette. In addition, a set of Hoodies and a heavyweight premium cotton sweatpants roundoff the collection with everyday basics. A selection of unique accessories include large format waist bags in beige and black as well as an oversized fold-over backpack and a set of hats. As with much of Puma's 2021 Spring/Summer campaign, the Ralph Sampson 70 sneaker centers the collaboration with a unique spin - a mixed nylon and molded-rubber upper offering year-round wearability.
