A unique fusion of vintage and modern style elements can be found in the PUMA x Pleasures Velophasis Layers ‘Birch Tree' colourway. They feature a retro silhouette from the early 2000s and a modern graphic aesthetic. This variation is designed to bring some of that classic retro style back into the fall season with a combination of beige and off-white tones, with black accents on the upper, and it is also offered in the colourway ‘Cayenne Pepper’
The Velophasis sneakers pay homage to an important period in PUMA's running innovations by drawing inspiration from the brand's historic COMPLETE line, a distinguishing feature of its offerings in the 2000s. PUMA introduced ground-breaking running innovations at this time, such as iCELL, e+CELL, and EverRide, which have since become standards for runners worldwide.
The Velophasis takes inspiration from this heritage and reinterprets it through the lens of Y2K culture. It incorporates design elements that reflect this era, including an asymmetrical upper, honeycombed mesh, textured panels, and inserts that draw directly from the 2000s PUMA range. However, these elements are reimagined using contemporary materials, offering a fresh take on a nostalgic era in sportswear design.
