OUR PUMA FAM IN THE SPOTLIGHT
The Shoes
Meet the Inhale, again. Originally launched in the early 2000s as a high-performance runner, the Inhale quickly became a standout with its bold contours and sculptural design. It moved effortlessly from the track to the street, earning style points along the way. Now it’s back with a refreshed lifestyle silhouette that holds onto the same fearless spirit. Packed with energy and outfitted with signature CELL cushioning for all-day comfort, the latest drop features a vibrant new colorway that pushes the bar even further.
The Outfit
Coming in hot, our accompanying outfit is fluent in conveying colour, texture, and unapologetic flair. Kicking things off is a floral-print tie-front top that oozes summer charm with a retro twist. The vibrant pattern plays off the high-octane energy of the Inhale’s neon colourway, creating an instant visual rhythm that refuses to blend in. Underneath comes a sleek adjustable sports bra in classic black. Its minimal design works as a subtle counterbalance to the louder pieces, while the athletic cut nods back to the Inhale’s roots in performance wear, not to mention giving the PUMA cat a chance to peek out from the top’s deepset neckline. Grounding the top’s playful volume is a pair of high-waisted leather shorts. The structured silhouette and clean button-front closure give just the right amount of refined attitude, echoing the dynamic lines of the sneaker and balancing sharp styling with a confident punch.
The Accessories
Accessories deliver texture, colour, and a little bit of mischief to the look. First up: a silk scarf reimagined as a headwrap. It’s the kind of switch-up that brings instant drama while also serving practical realness. Knotted over curls or tucked into a sleek low bun, the scarf does double duty, turning up the vibe and keeping the heat at bay with breezy elegance. For a dose of vintage-cool, hexagonal sunglasses bring in a touch of geometric style. Their oversized shape and gradient lenses are the perfect nod to the early 2000s vibe of the Inhale sneakers – retro, but with modern clarity.
Dangling turquoise earrings add a flash of glam without feeling overworked, and call back to the fluid lines and shading in the sneakers. A crystal-embellished ring lends a bit of playful decadence that continues to add to that athletic-meets-elevated mood of the whole look. Then, a compact wallet with subtle gold detailing keeps things tidy and stylish. Lastly, let’s not forget the socks. A fresh pair keeps the sneakers shining in the spotlight while adding a sporty undertone that connects the entire look back to the Inhale’s athletic DNA.
