Berlin-based sneaker retailer Overkill works in collaboration with PUMA on the latest Ocean Drive collection of sneakers that is inspired by the retro scene of Miami. Specifically, the duo highlight the 80s in Miami, featuring a range of pastel tones throughout the pack.
There are light colors of blue, pink, and white that decorate silhouettes such as the Blaze of Glory and the Slipstream Lo sneakers. The Blaze of Glory shoes is made from a blend of smooth leather, nylon, pinstripe mesh, and suede materials. The Slipstream Lo is made with white leather at the base and then detailed with light blue suede and boasts a pink trim -- all of this sits on top of an off-white midsole base.
