For real though, PUMA is launching new designs on their sneaker silhouettes faster than you can say “PUMA Basket Heart”. Yup, the design on rotation this time round is once again the Basket Heart, where after their boyish-chic take on the denim-on-polkadot style, the footwear brand has decided to clad their kicks in patriotic wear. They had the embroidered stars and stripe thing going on for them, to commemorate the upcoming 4th of July, but why stop there — when you can so for rogue (and rouge) with the chunky laces of the footwear?
And that’s exactly what PUMA did. Fans of the sneaker label who are willing to flaunt their kicks’ brand in a heartbeat can now do so in great style; the Basket Heart now has their signature chunky knitted lacing — well, laced with the brand’s logo all over. You really can’t miss it even if you wanted to.
The first drop of the Basket Heart DE comes in a bright firetruck red, courtesy of the Toreador Red leather that covers the sneaker’s upper. The PUMA stripe is a milky cream hue, while the midsole balances out the punchy hue with a stark white. Still attention-grabbing, all the same. (Though we’d like it if the entire sneaker was a solid red; that’ll be pretty cool, yes?)
Blue and black colourways will follow soon after the release of the red — so you’ll still have dark neutrals to fall back on, should brights not be your cup of tea. But hey, we’re more than likely want to cop the red ones most, since supermodel Cara Delevingne made them look so, so, so tempting.
The PUMA Basket Heart DE will be available in the States on July 6, and in Europe on July 27. It’ll be available online at at selected PUMA stockists.
