Picking up from last year’s collaboration, Aries and Puma are ready to reunite for another stellar and eye-catching design. Blending Puma’s iconic silhouette and Aries’ street-style flair, this duo created a new look for the brand’s Mostro design. With two designs in this new collaboration, the pair’s version of the Mostro silhouette is nothing less than bold. The new Mostro shoes offer a unique take on a nostalgic sneaker using a blend of textures and materials. Available in two heights, this release combines some of the most iconic details of both brands.

When reviving nostalgic models, Puma has had quite a lot of success in recent seasons. In their newest revival, the brand’s collaboration with Aries sees the Mostro silhouette remixed for a modern era. In the first iteration, Aries and Puma take on the Mostro Craft with two new colorways, gray and brown. Crafted with a suede upper and a woven tongue, this sneaker mixes textured materials for an elevated look. Puma’s Formstrip has been remixed for a unique detail along the side. Along with accented perforations, the sneaker also features an embossed ARIES wordmark.

On the other hand, Aries and Puma also debuted the Mostro mid. Like the Mostro Craft, this shoe features a taller height and a perforated black leather upper. Donning an asymmetric zipper with a beaded knot, the sneaker has plenty of unique details to explore. The sneaker also comes with a brown sole for a stylish color contrast. Both models feature Mostro’s traditional spiked rubber soles, which tie together these modern and retro elements. The Mostro Craft sneaker is now available via the Puma webstore for $150, while the Mostro Mid has yet to receive an official release.

Although it might be hard to equate a Crocs clog with luxury footwear, the brand has slowly worked to upgrade its lineup to appear much more elevated. With recent collaborations with brands like Barbour, the Crocs brand has added sophisticated details to its products that make them seem much more luxurious. Now, the brand is taking matters in-house with a new release that takes the Classic Clog and turns it into a winter-ready luxury slipper you can wear outside. While the latest release utilizes the traditional and signature clog silhouette from Crocs, subtle upgrades have elevated the design into a slipper that works for almost any cold-weather environment. Just in time for the start of the colder months, these lined Crocs bring an elevated style that many aren’t used to seeing from Crocs until now.

How you dress says a lot about who you are. Your outward appearance is a reflection of your inner self-image. So if you feel as though you are chaotic and messy, you will look unkept and sloppy in your day-to-day life. We all look to celebrities to mold our looks, but there is a level of imitations that lessen your ability to be you. Place of Elms is looking to change that, with some legendary stylists in their space and giving some fans an insight into how to dress like themselves, while still looking like a celebrity.

“We believe reverence is the essence of luxury, and truth is the ultimate aesthetic,” says the founder and designer behind Place of Ëlms, Lennie Moreno. “Recognition must be given to the stylists, as they are shaping how entire generations dress. Honoring them is honoring the invisible labor behind the visible show.”
