Palermos are great shoes, arguably Puma's best model imo. Better than other classics like Suedes, Clydes, Speedcats etc. They're like Margiela GATs that don't cost a grand.
These are womens ones, so size up accordingly. I'm US10 so I ordered W US11.5. i ordered these the week before but got the sizing wrong because I got 12s and they were too big,
I think this cw is dope. It has some cool little details. the leather and sueue are good quality. The rubber sole is hard and grippy, but still has some flex. These are great casual shoes; better than adidas Sambas, Spezials and Gazelles (depending on which variant).
If you don't like purple or thinking, "'eww girl shoes", then pick a unisex pair from here: https://au.puma.com/au/en/collections/sneakers/palermo which are excluded from the 40% off sale.
If you want to add something to get free shipping, get an EVOSTRIPE zip hoodie: https://au.puma.com/au/en/pd/evostripe-mens-full-zip-hoodie/… with 5 colours to choose from. Evos are just as good as Nike Tech Fleece but a lot cheaper, and I personally prefer the sklimmer cut and paneling/colour-blocking. The only thing Nike Tech has over the Evo are the pocket zippers.
For $142, you get an awesome pair of Palermo collabs, and a great quality hoodie.
Topcashback is currently 10%. Check out all the collections like A$AP Rocky which sold out instantly (like the Action Bronson NBs earlier today), Perks and Mini, PLEASURES and Staple. I also got these Kid Super Palermos: https://au.puma.com/au/en/pd/puma-x-kidsuper-palermo-unisex-… and an Evo tracksuit pair in this colour: https://au.puma.com/au/en/pd/evostripe-mens-full-zip-hoodie/…
Like I said before, Evo gear is cut slim, Look at my last link for the hoodie. If you're yoked like that dude and absolutely need people to see your low body fat and defined muscle mass, then go TTS, otherwise size up if you want a looser fit. I've been on the Puma train before Selena rocked the tennis dress in the Icecream video. All my gym gear is Puma. I only wear speedcats when I take my Atom to the track. Most of their collabs are dope, and the quality of Evostripe, TheNeverWorn, Luxe Sport and T7 lines are top notch. I also got these throwbacks, to add to my leopard print pair at home. This Luxe T7 jacket is luxe af. They have 40% off sales a few times a year. Combine it with boosted CBs and you're paying target prices for Nike level gear
Anyway, painkllers starting to wear off and I nned to rest my eyes for a bit
Nice find. Ripper of a shoe. Thanks for the short description about Sophia Chang as well.
