PUMA’s Most Classic Suede Sneaker Goes Suede-Free

The Story

PUMA Suede? The brand might have to change the name to PUMA Leather after this buttery release.

The newest sneaker is called the PUMA Suede Modern, a luxe remake featuring a molded upper and more refined touches. The brand already debuted some classic suede versions of the Modern model. Now, it's time for PUMA's most classic suede sneaker to become a deluxe leather stepper.

PUMA's Suede Modern arrives with creamy chocolate-brown leather uppers and an updated Formstrip. It still has its signature flat rubber soles, but it's dressier and extra delicious elsewhere now.

It's not even a milestone anniversary for the PUMA Suede, yet the brand continues to go all in on its iconic model. Just this summer, the sneaker has enjoyed spins from collaborators like the Whitaker Group and A$AP Rocky, our prettiest cover star yet. Meanwhile, PUMA continues to reinvent the model on its own, introducing other impressive versions such as the Vibram Suede and the classy PUMA Suede Icons.

I mean, when you're a legend like the PUMA Suede, every year is a milestone.

For those looking to cop the leather PUMA Suede Modern, the sneakers are now available on Footdistrict's website for 130€, which is around $150.
