There are far too many sneaker collaborations these days and most of them leave me wanting to more. Two genius designers/brands collaborate and all I can think is – that’s it? Most designers need to learn, as Madonna and Justin learned, you can’t save the world in 4 minutes or make a decent collaboration just because you are big names. Enter Puma by Mihara Yasuhiro. This latest series of the MY-70 silhouette reincarnated features an asymmetrical dipped two tone design. The use of matte and gloss makes the contrast even stronger. Feels a little Margiela X Brian Jungen. Yup, I just went there. Hurry, they are almost sold out – and I promise you won’t look like everyone else (still sporting New Balance). Or you might just find them culturally offensive…isn’t everything these days? Make your fashion choices wisely.
