Sneakerhead Diaries | Simple chic

The sneaker obsession continues. I haven't picked up a pair of PUMA Trinomics yet. The signature style has been on my radar for ages but I haven't found a colour that won me over entirely. Until now. I love simple styling and understated chic and these tick both those boxes.

PUMA has released their latest addition to their Trinomic R698 sneaker range – the delectable R698 Soft Pack features the richness of a plush suede upper with subtle perforations for a lightweight finish in a choice of grey, pastel pink, black or teal. So cute! The pink has my name written all over them.

The R698 Soft Pack retails for R1 599 and drops through PUMA SELECT stores in Bree Street, Cape Town and Braamfontein, Johannesburg, as well as Shelflife - and they're available now. See you there next First Thursday for a tipple and some shoe shopping?

Trinomic Tuesday

Every week the PUMA Twitter account posts a picture or three of the latest covetable pair of Trinomic sneakers, which I obsess over, send to friends and contemplate yet another purchase. I just had to collect a few of these from their PR team and post them together.

With the statement sneaker trend going nowhere fast, you may as well accept that your current plain white ones need an upgrade. Your best bet is the PUMA Select store on Bree Street where you can find limited edition stuff and designer collaborations. I am still the happiest of sneaker heads for snapping up a pair of Alexander McQueens last year. I love going on First Thursdays for a mini street party vibe and perusing the new stock over a craft beer.

Have your eyeballs take in a few of the options from collabs with Vashtie and House of Hackney, amongst others.
