Well, first off, straight up alternatives? Hard to find somethin’ that nails the *exact* same vibe. The Suede’s got this low-profile, effortlessly cool thing goin’ on. Plus, the suede itself? Chef’s kiss.
But don’t despair! We got options. The first article mentions alternatives to Puma *brand* in general which is a totally different thing. Like, Nike? Sure, they’re big and got performance technology, but it’s not the same chill vibe at all, is it? Adidas is closer, I guess, with the sporty aesthetics, but still kinda misses the mark.
Now, if you’re after that low-profile, suede-ish feel, maybe look at some other brands. I saw something that PUMA is doing with Paw Patrol? How weird is that? I would not pick that as an alternative. Not that I’m against cartoons, but it’s not the suede I’m looking for.
And then there’s the Suede XL. I saw something about breakdancing heritage. Maybe a little too flashy, if you ask me, but hey, to each their own. And the Suede Light Flex Small World Alternative Closure? What a mouthful! Sounds fancy, though.
The tote bag? From PUMA and PLEASURES, a clash of racing and punk? I don’t know! Is that an alternative? It’s a totebag!
