PHANTACi is a streetwear brand that has been a well-known label in the sneaker scene for over a decade. PUMA and PHANTACi's paths crossed back in 2016. Now the two return to bring us the PHANTACi x PUMA Suede that is expected in spring 2023.
Besides PUMA, PHANTACi has also worked with Nike, Reebok, and New Balance. Check out the streetwear brand's previous collaborations here.
Originally a basketball sneaker, the PUMA Suede was incorporated into hip-hop culture in 1980. In these photos, you can see PHANTACi looking back at that time.
The collab keeps the PUMA model pretty much intact but adds a unique twist. For instance, this edition of the Suede consists mostly of leather apart from the PUMA logo. The purple and blue colorway gives the sneaker a retro twist. Finally, a gold zip is placed on the outside of the model that cannot be missed.
The PHANTACi x PUMA Suede is likely to drop in the upcoming months of 2023. Will this be your new spring sneaker? Keep an eye on our release calendar for the latest updates surrounding the release.
