Anyone who's anyone has had (or still has) a pair of
Pumas on their shoe rack. I remember my first pair. I had orange and blue ones that I got on sale for $9.99 at
Urban Outfitters way back in the day. I wore those suckers out to the sole. Now that I am older and more refined (well, at least I think I am), I seldom wear sneakers anymore. I am usually in a nice pair of
Chelsea boots or my coveted
Ferragamo loafers. That said, I am not the biggest fan of the whole sneaker/dress shoe hybrid-- until I spotted the kicks from
Puma's Black Label. The new collection reinvents classic Puma sneakers and tweaks them with new sleek, modern design to amp up the luxury. Using fine Italian leather and infusing it with the brand's signature "roar" of fashion and function, they have revamped the recognizable criss-cross velcro
Mostro design and created some new styles that include the Intreccio Mid ankle boot and the Explora ballerina flat. Check out some of the other innovative styles of the new Black Label (all available at
store.puma.com).
