It’s no secret that the previous Sukajan collaborations between atmos and PUMA have resulted in iconic and lively designs. However, it’s not just the details that captivate attention, it’s the history and inspiration behind them. Named after Japanese souvenir jackets, each Sukajan sneaker is inspired by vintage jackets brought back by U.S. soldiers stationed in Yokosuka. With such a rich history to draw inspiration from, it’s no wonder why these sneakers are as statement as they are. In previous iterations, the brands used hawks and tigers as the main focal point of their sneakers. While 2024 brings another element into the lineup, the same boldness and vibrancy remain in this unique partnership.

atmos x PUMA Suede VTG Made in Japan “Sukajan 3.0”

Donning a rich dark green suede upper, this sneaker has a bold embroidered dragon on the side with a gold-yellow stripe in the foreground. On the inside upper of the sneaker is an outlined map of Japan highlighting some of the most iconic cities like Tokyo and Kyoto. Also added is the embroidered outline of a mountain along with the ‘Japan’ written in cursive. The classic PUMA logo remains on the back heel, as well as on the sneaker’s tongue. Although the design’s vibrant and bold details won’t fit with everyone’s style, it’s certainly a piece of art that many will want. Those looking to get on a pair can sign up for a lottery via atmos’ web store until December 19. The sneakers will then be released on December 20. A striking and unique shoe, this classic PUMA silhouette is sure to be an amazing colorful touch to any wardrobe.

With a new season coming up, it’s time for every style enthusiast's favorite era: Fashion Week. Held during the final week of January through the beginning of February, Paris Fashion Week Men’s typically helps kick things off with one-of-a-kind shows and designs that will ultimately influence future trends. For the Paris Fashion Week Men’s FW25 season, many designers showcased some of their boldest and loudest pieces yet, marking the continuation of a maximalist trend in the industry. While the clothing pieces made for some eccentric looks, the footwear managed to captivate the eyes of many. Throughout the week, designers displayed some of their boldest and out-of-the-box footwear, making for some interesting future purchases. With many collaborations and housemade shoe options, this year’s Paris Fashion Week Men’s was a definite win for maximalists everywhere.
Comme des Garçons Homme Plus

As we’ve seen through their previous footwear releases, Comme des Garçons isn’t afraid of creating a bold shoe. However, for Paris Fashion Week, the fashion brand went out-of-the-(shoe)box for a boot that, at first glance, seems normal but is truly a surrealist work of art. Displaying an army boot with a lifted 90-degree angle toe box, this boot is bold enough to deserve a second look. While crafted for the runway, this boot can perfectly find its match in everyday life, especially for those not afraid of a small quirk.

When creating bold and successful collaborative designs, no one is better equipped than KITH’s Ronnie Fieg. Under the KITH umbrella, Fieg has created highly sought-after designs that almost always sell out immediately. While many of his collaborations with other brands have made waves throughout the industry, Fieg’s partnership with Clarks is considered on a completely different level. For the Spring/Summer 2025 season, Clarks and Ronnie Fieg have partnered up for another collection that brings back old favorites and a new design. Unlike other KITH collaborations, Ronnie Fieg and Clarks have created subtle, understated shoes that fit easily into any wardrobe.
Ronnie Fieg x Clarks ‘8TH ST Collection’

For the new collection, Ronnie Fieg and Clarks have brought back returning styles like Sunderland sneaker designs. New to the collection are Laddow hiking shoes and Sandford 2 sneakers, which introduce a new hiking style and chunky sole to the lineup. The Laddow hiking shoe takes on a retro look with the appearance of an old-school trekking shoe. Made with suede and mesh uppers, a crepe midsole with EVA inserts, and lace fastening with nylon eyelets, the sneaker is a simple yet chic option. Grippy rubber outsoles allow high-traction movements and give users better support and stability.
