PUMA has once again teamed up with NOAH, and this time it's for the release of the PUMA Star.
A shoe that looks just as great on the tennis courts as it does on the streets, the PUMA Star boasts a sleek silhouette and a crisp white color palette. The new shoe is actually a re-issue of the PUMA Wimbledon from the late ’70s, which was named after the prestigious tennis tournament that takes place in London each year. The shoe also features a stitched-on rubber cup sole and a perforated Formstrip. Fans will also notice subtle hints of blue, which is a nod to PUMA’s heritage colorways.
The PUMA Star is set to officially drop on June 29, 2023, on Noah's online website and at select PUMA retailers on July 1, 2023.
