{"product_id":"puma-suede-vtg-off-white-black-speckled-formstrip-gum-sole","title":"PUMA Suede VTG Off-White-Black Speckled Formstrip-Gum Sole","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePUMA Suede VTG\u003c\/strong\u003e (Vintage) applies a deliberately aged material treatment to the iconic Suede silhouette, softening the upper’s texture and tonal clarity to evoke the worn-in character of 70s–80s athletic footwear. The result is a shoe that looks as though it has already accumulated the patina of regular wear — a quality that gives the Suede VTG a distinctly different energy from the clean, heritage-ready standard Suede.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOff-White\u003c\/strong\u003e upper provides the colourway’s base tone. Unlike a crisp, bright white, off-white carries warmth and age — it reads as a naturally faded version of white, already suggesting the passage of time before the shoe reaches the wearer. On the Suede VTG’s distressed nap surface, off-white deepens slightly with the direction of the pile, creating a quiet, tonal variation that keeps the upper visually alive without introducing additional colour contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Speckled Formstrip\u003c\/strong\u003e is the colourway’s defining detail. Rather than a solid or clean black Formstrip, the speckle treatment breaks the colour into irregular particles — a deliberate disruption of uniformity that enhances the vintage, handmade quality of the shoe. Against the off-white upper, black speckle creates a high-contrast graphic moment without the rigidity of a solid stripe, and it reinforces the aged, paint-splattered aesthetic that sits naturally within the 70s–80s art and sportswear reference frame of the Suede VTG.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGum Sole\u003c\/strong\u003e completes the colourway’s vintage credentials. Natural gum rubber soles are one of the most recognisable material signatures of 70s–80s training and court footwear — their warm, translucent amber tone contrasts cleanly with the off-white upper while grounding the shoe in an authentically retro material register. Gum soles also carry strong associations with premium craftsmanship and durability, elevating the overall perceived quality of the silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper: Off-white suede (vintage distressed treatment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormstrip: Black speckled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSole: Gum rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Suede VTG — distressed low-top silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Lace-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in EU sizes 36–46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Puma","offers":[{"title":"38","offer_id":52172605948225,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38.5","offer_id":52172605980993,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"39","offer_id":52172606013761,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"39.5","offer_id":52172606046529,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":52172606079297,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40.5","offer_id":52172606112065,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"41","offer_id":52172606144833,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"41.5","offer_id":52172606177601,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":52172606210369,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42.5","offer_id":52172606243137,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43","offer_id":52172606275905,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43.5","offer_id":52172606308673,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":52172606341441,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44.5","offer_id":52172606374209,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45","offer_id":52172606406977,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45.5","offer_id":52172606439745,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46","offer_id":52172606472513,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36","offer_id":52172606505281,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"37","offer_id":52172606538049,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/5626\/2209\/files\/DM_20260903113257_001.jpg?v=1788584238","url":"https:\/\/paulvines.store\/products\/puma-suede-vtg-off-white-black-speckled-formstrip-gum-sole","provider":"PAUL VINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
