TLDR: The PUMA x Nahmias Suede ‘Let's Be Friends’ brings Californian craftsmanship to a true classic. With distressed details, crocheted elements and friendship beads, the Suede gets a creative update – releasing on 13 February for €150. With their first joint capsule collection, PUMA and Nahmias reinterpret the iconic Suede. The collaboration combines West Coast aesthetics with handcrafted details and a deliberately imperfect look. The model was first presented at Paris Fashion Week, and now the official release is following.
The focus is on texture and material contrasts: asymmetrical suede overlays in the toe area, distressed leather formstrips and visible foam edges create a handmade look. Particularly striking are the crocheted laces and, depending on the version, crocheted formstrips and coloured rope laces. Small friendship beads and co-branding on the inside with the words ‘Let's Be Friends’ underline the collaborative nature of the design.
The Suede is available in three colourways: ‘Vintage Red’ with a white upper, red accents and a gum sole. ‘Vintage Black’ in a dark, minimalist design. ‘Crochet’, the textured version with crocheted details and pastel shades.
All versions play with retro elements and Nahmias' Californian design code without losing the DNA of the classic PUMA Suede.
