Hailing from Japan, LIBERAIDERS is a streetwear brand known for its eclectic inspirations drawn from military themes, travel, and rock'n'roll culture. The brand, under the creative direction of Mei Yong, has earned a reputation for its unique and compelling designs. LIBERAIDERS has teamed up with Puma for its latest collaboration to bring a fresh take on the iconic Puma Suede silhouette. This partnership is extraordinary as it draws inspiration from the rock music scene in Beijing, Mei Yong's birthplace, adding a personal touch to the design.
The LIBERAIDERS x Puma Suede showcases a sophisticated black suede upper accentuated by striking white and blue details. The blue Formstrip along the midfoot and the tongue tag, featuring an origami logo representing LIBERAIDERS alongside Puma branding, add a vibrant contrast to the dark base. The sneaker's aesthetic is further enhanced by the phrase "Destination Unknown" embossed on the lateral heel, reflecting the brand's adventurous spirit. Additional LIBERAIDERS branding is discreetly placed on the heel, tying together the collaborative effort. Completing the look is a crisp white midsole and a matching white rubber outsole, ensuring both style and comfort are maintained.
The LIBERAIDERS x Puma Suede will release on June 8, 2024, through LIBERAIDERS and select Puma retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $120.
