KICKS LAB. and PUMA have collaborated to present an exclusive rendition of the classic Palermo sneaker, now part of PUMA's distinguished "Made in Japan (MIJ)" line. This line is renowned for its exceptional quality and the meticulous work of Japanese craftsmen.

The latest design embraces the concept of "aji," or the aesthetic of aging, where the sneaker's character is enhanced through everyday wear, with each scuff and crease adding to its distinctiveness. The upper features a combination of black leather and nubuck for a sophisticated and polished appearance, complemented by a dynamic interplay of textures. Vivid colour accents highlight the design, including a glossy orange enamel PUMA formstrip, light blue stitching and lace tips, and a lime-yellow interior. The insole bears black and white hues, reflecting the iconic colours of the KICKS LAB. Store, rounding off this meticulously designed sneaker.
