In order to offer consumers more options to choose from for the holiday season, Puma released a new Basket Heart model, which was dubbed the 'Bauble' for its use of metallic hues that are reminiscent of the decorations that are put up on Christmas trees.
The entire sneakers are covered in a metallic material, which ranges from baby blue, lilac and rose, to silver and a light hue of champagne. Like many of the other Basket Heart models, the sneakers are topped off with oversized laces that make use of a ribbon-like material. The laces are colored a shade of baby blue as well, complementing the metallic blue that's featured on the tongues and toes of the sneakers.
