Skepta and PUMA Drop Hotly Anticipated Skope Forever Sneaker and First Full Collection

May 14, 2024

In a collaboration realized through the fashion and music industries, Skepta and PUMA have finally unveiled their inaugural collection, and it's every bit as groundbreaking as fans had hoped. The collection, which includes the highly anticipated Skope Forever sneaker, is a testament to Skepta's unparalleled style and cultural influence, seamlessly blended with PUMA's rich heritage of sportswear design.

The campaign, which employs light and shadow as its primary visual codes, perfectly captures the mood of the collection, naturally casting the spotlight on Skepta himself. The stealthy color palette, emphasized by premium nylon materials and silver hardware inspired by PUMA's origins, is a nod to both history and innovation.

At the heart of the collection is the PUMA Skope Forever, an all-new footwear style co-created by Skepta and PUMA. Inspired by early-2000s footwear designs, the Skope Forever debuts in a special iridescent colorway that is sure to turn heads. The robust tooling serves as the foundation for the upper, which features a mesh underlay wrapped in fluid opalescent panels. Silver accents emerge from beneath, contrasting with the covert colorway, while a special PUMA x Skepta badge on the tongue completes the tech-luxe silhouette.

But the Skope Forever is just the beginning. The collection also features a full range of apparel and accessories, each piece bearing Skepta's distinct aesthetic and codes. The PUMA x Skepta Track Jacket and Track Pants, inspired by PUMA's T7 tracksuit, form a coordinated set that is as stylish as it is functional. The technical Vest features unique tailoring with concealed pockets, while the accompanying Backpack maintains the same aesthetic in a sleek black-on-black colorway. Rounding out the accessories are a pair of Gloves and a cuffless Beanie, each designed to complement the overall look.

As one of the most influential figures in contemporary music, Skepta's impact extends far beyond the realm of rap. His collaborations with brands like PUMA and Burberry, as well as the launch of his own brand, MAINS, have cemented his status as a fashion icon. With the release of his first full collection with PUMA, Skepta continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be a multi-faceted creative force in the 21st century.

The PUMA x Skepta collection is set to drop on May 18, 2024, and will be available from PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores, and selected PUMA retailers. With prices ranging from 60 to 200 Euros, this is one collaboration that fans won't want to miss. Get ready to elevate your style game with Skepta and PUMA's groundbreaking new collection.
