From the Rihanna-designed Fenty Bow Sneaker to the recently-unveiled Prevail Heart, PUMA has been consistently releasing a slew of ribbon-equipped kicks in recent months, but no matter how many new models there are we’ll always have a soft spot for the silhouette that started it all: the Suede Heart. The OG ribbon sneaker seems to have taken a backseat to make way for its successors, but it looks like the German sportswear brand is showing it some overdue love with the release of two new wishlist-worthy colourways…yup, ribbon season definitely isn’t going away anytime soon.
When compared to some of the more recent ribbon silhouettes, the Suede Heart is downright rudimentary in its design — to put it simply, the sneaker is a regular PUMA Suede with oversized laces slapped on top, but to make up for that these kicks have been draped in an always-trendy “Coral Cloud” pink as well as a lilac-esque “Halogen Blue” that we previously saw on the Prevail Heart. Metallic bronze accents on the side and tongue provide a nice touch of detailing, and the lower half sports an off-white sole to round out a look that proves that the Suede Heart can still hang with the big boys.
The PUMA Suede Heart “Coral Cloud” and “Halogen Blue” are available right now, and can be bought online from select PUMA retailers such as OFFICE for £65 (Limited Edt did stock previous colourways of the Suede Heart, so it might be worth keeping tabs on them as well). That’s almost half the price of the satin-covered Fenty Bow Sneaker, so if you want to get in on the ribbon trend without breaking the ban, the Suede Heart is looking like a very viable alternative right about now.
