Liberty of London Adds Floral Prints to the PUMA Basket Shoe
Liberty of London is a heritage English pattern and special fabric maker, and recently, it drops a special iteration of the notable PUMA Basket sneaker model. The classic shoe sees a crisp upper adorned in pink and floral patterning, blended together with the expertise of Liberty of London.
It has almost 150 years of creating patterns and of course, does not disappoint this time around. The upper is made from a blend of perforated leather and suede. Leather makes up the collar and the quarter sections of the shoe. The suede material makes up the heel section, the eyestays, tongue, and the toe boxes. The floral patterning is not shy, as it can be seen throughout most of the silhouette.
