PUMA threads forward with the latest iteration of its en vogue sneaker, the Thunder Spectra. Delving into its archives, the brand’s innovative running system from the ’90s is implemented into a bold modern reinterpretation of its past silhouettes.

In a melange of fabrics overlaying across each other, the sneaker features an upper consisting of nubuck, mesh and suede. Sitting atop a striking midsole, the EVA material within the footbed promotes comfortability with every stride. And with the same amount of attention paid to the technology, the German-based footwear brand imbues a unique range of hues, including yellow, tan, blue, orange, white and a collection of greys. The use of vibrant tones acts as an accent to the shoe’s neutral, tonal features. Through the art direction of the lookbook, the ornate coloring of the set’s props complements the kick’s stylistic cues.

Dropping October 19, find the sneaker at participating PUMA dealers and PUMA.com.
