Think of a pair of Puma sneakers. We bet the shoes you’re visualising are the iconic Puma Suede. After all, Puma *is* legit famous for them. They decided to take this classic and put a new fashionable street style twist on them. The Puma Suede Mayu takes inspo from the design elements of the OG Puma Suede and blows up the proportions for a fashion-forward contemporary lewk.
Its bold platform, bright 1970s-inspired colour story, and nylon tongue with exposed foam give the Puma Suede Mayu a modernly retro twist.

In addition to these shoes being highly coveted on our fashion radar, they also have a standout star doing the most to rep the shoe. Global pop superstar and fashion icon Dua Lipa rocked the Puma Suede Mayu in its campaign with an outfit you may not expect. She showed off just how versatile the shoes are when she paired them with a black skirt, knot crop top, and chainmail camisole.
She looked super stylish and confirmed what we know to be true. The Puma Suede Mayu can be used any time of day for any type of look.
We were wondering how these new kicks got their name and Lois Ash, Puma’s Product Line Manager of Sportstyle Footwear, gave us the deets.
“We took a lot of inspiration from Japanese streetwear for this style so we wanted to bring that to life through the name and as this is almost like the re-birth of the suede we went for Mayu which is Japanese for Cocoon, symbolizing the rebirth of one of our icons.” Sounds legit to us.
