KICKS LAB. has teamed up with PUMA to release a unique take on the classic Palermo sneaker. This model is part of PUMA’s prestigious “Made in Japan (MIJ)” series, celebrated for its high-quality materials and the careful craftsmanship of Japanese artisans.
The new silhouette introduces a unique concept focused on the beauty of aging, or “aji.” Designed to develop personality through wear, each crease and scuff adds to the shoe’s individuality, creating a pair that evolves with its owner over time. Its upper combines black leather and nubuck, delivering a sleek, polished look enhanced by subtle textural contrast. Bright pops of color accentuate the design, with a signature PUMA formstrip in glossy orange enamel, light blue stitching and lace tips, and a lime-yellow liner. The insole features black and white tones, a nod to KICKS LAB.’s signature store colors, adding a final touch to this carefully crafted piece.
