Japanese designer Tamiho Iwaya, the man behind GraphersRock, can be considered nonpareil. The motility of his style has allowed him to traverse the many facets of art—be it music, fashion, and almost everything in between. While he earned his renown in making album covers for his contemporaries, he’s made even bigger waves in the vast oceanic world of fashion.

In 2016, his partnership with the German sportswear brand began. The canvases of the collaboration was the retrofuturistic Disc Blaze and the R698. It’s a match made in heaven, the overlap of their proclivities vivid. The ultramodern tooling of the aforementioned silhouettes is a perfect fit for the designer’s neo-Tokyo inclinations. The collection was released to so much fanfare that a sequel was naturally in order. With a few more since, they reunite again to take on one of the most iconic sneakers of all time—the Puma Suede.

This effort makes their preceding ones look restraint. It’s as if the designer was given the keys to the kingdom to let loose his desires, to let all the colors within his reach run amok. But like the true artist that he is, there’s a method to the madness, a modus operandi.

A kaleidoscope of colors traverse the entirety of the upper bar the sections in leather: the Puma form strip on the profiles, the eye stays, and heel tab. Each of the pair in the three-pack will have a singular color that frames the polychromatic suede base on the laces and overlays. One will carry a Mauve Pop, another in Deep Aqua, and one more in Cerulean.

The collection will have an accompanying apparel consisting of two hoodies in black and grey, and two long-sleeve t-shirts in black and white. Find them on Puma JP’s website from 3 December.
