PLEASURES, the trendy LA streetwear brand with a rebellious twist, has joined forces with PUMA to drop a bold twist on the iconic Suede sneaker, concluding the Suede’s 75th-anniversary festivities from 2023.

Taking cues from the bulky skate kicks of the early 2000s, the PLEASURES x PUMA Suede XL boasts a beefier design compared to the original Suede. Its all-black suede build is paired with touches of ivory on the PUMA Formstrip overlay, cushioned sockliner, and revamped sole. A thicker tongue and top-notch woven fat laces enhance the nostalgic vibe. The branding remains subtle, with the PLEASURES name only on the tongue tag and insoles. Each pair comes with black laces and an extra set in white.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, January 4, 2024 10 AM PT, as the PLEASURES x PUMA Suede XL hits the Pleasures website. A broader release is scheduled for January 6th at select retailers like Feature and Nice Kicks, offering an early grab. The price tag? A cool $120 USD.

In summary, the PLEASURES x PUMA Suede XL encapsulates the rebellious spirit of both brands, merging punk aesthetics with contemporary flair. Secure your pair on January 4th or wait for the wider release on January 6th, available at select retailers. Elevate your street style with this chunky throwback for a reasonable $120. Don’t miss out on this fusion of iconic style and modern edge.
