Puma is no stranger to the soccer world, having become the official sponsor of many of the world’s biggest clubs over the course of its history. With an eventful year leading up to the FIFA World Cup, brands are ramping up their soccer-inspired releases with new collaborations and designs. While brands like Nike and Adidas have recently released new sneakers along with teams, Puma’s latest release takes a look at one of the brand’s iconic soccer cleat silhouettes. It transforms it into an everyday lifestyle sneaker. Taking on its V series model, the athletic company has reimagined this soccer cleat style into a sneaker that can be worn on and off the pitch. Keeping the shape of its traditional look, the new sneaker is performance-inspired and is ready for the eventful year of soccer that awaits. 

Puma’s newest sneaker takes on the beautiful game

Taking a more streetwear approach, Puma’s new V-S1 sneaker infuses everything you love about soccer cleats with the comfort of your everyday sneaker. Featuring a low-profile silhouette, the V-S1 includes a structural heel cage and asymmetrical lacing. Composed of a textile upper accented with metallic details, the sneaker also boasts plenty of shine and style. The EVA midsole and rubber outsole provide ample comfort and stability to the design. In its latest release, the V-S1 is available in two new championship-worthy colorways: White/Silver and Gold/Black. Both iterations are available via Puma’s website and select Puma stockists for $140 each. Whether or not you’re a soccer player, the V-S1 has everything you need to show off your skills on and off the pitch.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE
