BILLY's Tokyo Presents Premium PUMA Suede Vintage Collaboration
Complete with elastic tongue detailing that enables it to be worn with or without laces.
Japanese retailer BILLY’s Tokyo has teamed with PUMA for a versatile take on the classic Suede. Making use of BILLY’s signature navy hue and featuring details centered around the plethora of lace options that have made their mark on the Suede, the style is equal parts hip-hop homage and highly detailed history lesson.
Uppers are constructed of a supple navy suede, and accented by metallic silver Formstrips plus shimmering gold PUMA stamps. Tongues supply a classic white, green and black PUMA tag, which is placed right above the shoe’s signature elastic-equipped throat. This stretchy piece of material enables the Suede to be worn both with and without laces. If you’d like to leave the laces on, the BILLY’s Tokyo x PUMA Suede comes with a trio of lacing options: tonal navy laces, gray fat laces and simple white laces. Navy leather collar lining and a traditional white rubber midsole finalize the style, and the shoes are packed in a custom BILLY’s box.
The BILLY’s Tokyo x PUMA Suede is available for pre-order on the BILLY’s Tokyo webstore now, and will release on June 18. It’s priced at a tax-included ¥13,200 JPY (approximately $120 USD).
