PUMA, a brand with an illustrious history entwined with terrace culture, has decided to plunge deep into its archives to bring back a cherished classic - the Palermo.
For those well-versed in the legacy of terrace footwear, PUMA's significance is undisputed. With the likes of the Suede and the Clyde, PUMA has established a rich heritage as a beloved choice among football fans and casuals who lauded the performance and street-savvy aesthetics of these sneakers.
The Palermo holds a special place within this lineage. Known for its sleek design, it has been a staple among terrace shoe enthusiasts for decades. The Palermo is now making a triumphant return in its OG colorway, which evokes the quintessential terrace shoe style that thrived in the 1980s. The classic gum soles provide the base, while pristine white laces and PUMA’s signature Formstripe contribute to its timeless look. Adding depth to the design, navy blue accents grace the mesh and suede that dominate the upper.
This isn’t the first time PUMA has recognized the Palermo's revered status. A few years ago, the sneaker was part of PUMA’s “Archive Collection,” and in 2022, it partnered with size? for a trio of Godfather-inspired styles.
The return of the Palermo in its OG colorway represents PUMA's acknowledgment of its deep-rooted connection to terrace culture and its commitment to celebrating its storied past.
Priced at $100 USD, the PUMA Palermo in its OG colorway is set to release on July 8th via PUMA.com.
