New York promoter, director and designer Vashtie Kola's second sneaker collab sees her rework PUMA's classic R698s into a variety of colorways, the most flamboyant of which features an unmissable glossy metallic gold upper, finished with Vashtie's signature and "V" logo on the tongue and heel tab respectively. The upper's statement is juxtaposed to the more sedate and solid matte black swarthiness of the laces and sole and, as with anything that's gold, it's both slightly glamorous and yet kind of gritty. Simple and ostentatious and available at Caliroots.
