Pastel-Accented Footwear Collaborations

PUMA and Shoe Palace Produce a New PUMA RS-X Iteration

A new PUMA RS-X hits the footwear market as a result of a collaboration between PUMA and Shoe Palace.

The partnership is made available to consumers under the playful name of 'Falling Coconuts.' The range sees a few sporty apparel offerings, as well. The color arrangement of both the sneakers and the clothing is what unifies the drop. Paying homeage to "the care-free spirit of summer," the palette is intended to evoke "the ultimate summer destination." As a result, the nuances are non-invasive and easy-to-style — from white and teal to grey and black, with a few pastel pinks and blues sprinkled throughout.

The new PUMA RS-X preserves its chunky silhouette and a focal point of the upper is a "special wave design" that adds a playfully artistic touch to the footwear.
