The NEEDLES x PPACO collaboration introduces two distinctive takes on PPACO’s Lux-2 silhouette, reimagined with NEEDLES’ signature flair. The Lux-2 NEEDLES Edition and the Lux-2 NEEDLES Edition With Studs sliders arrive in black and purple colorways, each emphasizing a sleek aesthetic.

The uppers feature smooth, molded construction with a minimalist profile, while the quarters and straps are accented by NEEDLES’ iconic butterfly logo, lending a subtle yet recognizable branding detail. The studded version adds metallic embellishments across the strap, creating a bolder, more tactile finish that contrasts with the clean lines of the standard edition.

Both pairs sit atop contoured soles designed for comfort, with tonal finishes that match the uppers for a cohesive look. The purple variant highlights NEEDLES’ signature color identity, while the black edition offers a versatile, understated option. Branding is kept refined, with the butterfly motif appearing prominently across the strap and subtle detailing along the footbed.
