Puma Slipstream

Launched as high-performing basketball shoes in 1987 and reintroduced in the early 2000s, the Puma Slipstream is one of the most significant retro sneakers ever designed by the German brand. Puma has reworked them into a contemporary version that stays true to its basketball heritage, featuring a leather upper with suede inserts, pops of color throughout the whole style, a cushioned sole with an Anti Shock System, and archive-inspired colorways. The retro-basketball component of the Puma Slipstream Retro is evident through many subtle details: the padded tongue, a thick cushioned and shock-absorbing sole, and more others. What Puma has done is blending the shoes’ signature basket DNA with new luxury coating and premium details. Here on SPECTRUM you can find Puma Slipstream makeups built using with high-quality suede, special collaborations with street brands and designers like Jeff Staple, and archive models like the Slipstream Archive Remastered – models with an aesthetic closely resembling archival designs, updated with modern technologies and some limited details. More generally, Puma Slipstream fit into a broader retro sneaker category along with other retro basketball shoes from the German-based company, including the Puma Suede created for the legendary Walt "Clyde" Frazier.

What kind of brand is Puma?

Puma is a sportswear brand that produces athletic clothing, lifestyle sneakers, and shoes for professional athletes. The selection of retro-basketball and retro-running sneakers is one of the reasons why Puma is most famous: its vintage sports shoes can boast a legacy and reputation strengthened by years and years at the top of the wish list for famous athletes, artists, and the general public. In addition to archival models, Puma is a brand focused on developing new technologies and attentive to current issues, including the need for a sustainable production chain and the use of increasing percentages of recycled materials. The Puma Suede and Puma Slipstream Lo Retro represent its heritage. These two low-top sneakers have a strong connection to the sports world but are also fully-fledged lifestyle shoes, an example of how sportswear has managed to make its way into casual clothing, thanks to the efforts of brands like Puma.

Which are the best retro sneakers?

The Puma Slipstream Retro is a lifestyle shoe with a clear retro-basketball influence, but it's not the only archival sneaker still at the top of many people's wishlists. Staying with Puma, the Suede is another highly appreciated model: Suede sneakers were also originally designed for basketball, especially in their low-top version, and they are famous for their simple and minimalistic design. Other classic sneaker and vintage trainer models include the adidas Samba and Gazelle, the Nike Blazer, a significant portion of the New Balance catalog, including the New Balance 550, and many others.
