Chinatown Market works in collaboration with sportswear brand PUMA once again -- this time, it takes a muted option with the unveiling of the Future Rider sneaker model. The collaborative footwear design takes Chinatown Market's silhouette as the foundation before adorning it with new design components.
The sneaker takes a modern approach to a retro sneaker look with some color-blocking accents throughout. This time around, the duo adorns the shoe with monochromatic tonal updates. There are two colorway options available with either black or white. Both options are detailed with subtle accents and a pop of color informed by some bright yellow and white detailing. The uppers have a slight translucent accent with Chinatown Market branding details throughout.
