Balmain and PUMA work in collaboration on a new sporty collection that is designed from a luxurious angle. The capsule is made up of sporty streetwear items that are shown off in a campaign that stars Skylar Diggins-Smith and Kyle Kuzma.
The luxury sneaker leads the entire capsule, highlighting the PUMA Court silhouette done in a unique new makeover. This can be seen in the form of the new golden Balmain logo and the heel webbing made by PUMA's technology. It also has plush fabrics that are used to create the padded tongue section, PUMA logos, and a mesh toe bumper at the front of the shoe. Rounding out the shoe is some premium Italian leather for an elevated feel and look.
