Nicole McLaughlin went from Reebok intern to Instagram sensation with her upcycled masterpieces. This year, she weaves her magic onto the PUMA Suede.

A symphony of colors explodes across the classic silhouette, each panel a handcrafted quilt of playful hues. Stitches dance across the patchwork, whispering hints of her signature DIY MO. Flourishing further, a vibrant kiltie joins the lace party, extending the patchwork frenzy across the entire shoe.

A crisp white sole unit steps in as the perfect contrast to the upper’s kaleidoscope, balancing the boldness with a touch of clean simplicity.

McLaughlin, known for her eco-conscious creations, repurposes and reimagines, breathing new life into old materials. And with this project, she’s turning ethical fashion into a head-turning statement.

This Nicole McLaughlin x PUMA Suede succeeds her prior joint effort with HOKA, Merrell, Vans, Diemme, and Reebok. There isn’t a firm release date yet but they are expected to arrive sometime within the year. Stay tuned!
