le PÈRE has announced its Fall/Winter 2026 collaboration with PUMA, kicking things off with a ridiculously suave Suede sneaker.

The New York label's PUMA Suede is like no other, honestly. It lands with, of course, the signature suede uppers, albeit creamier than usual. le PÈRE has also slimmed down the silhouette and added a split-toe design, resulting in a rather dapper bowling-style sneaker overall.

Essentially, it's a nice PUMA "bowling" shoe for the le PÈRE "Gentle Man" (that's how the brand characterizes its Lower East Side style).

It's honestly the season of nice PUMA Suedes. A$AP Rocky just dropped some good-looking nostalgic pairs, while the Whitaker Group recently debuted flavorfully faded pairs for its Coda collab. Meanwhile, PUMA has done some pretty impressive releases on its own, including the PUMA Suede Moderns, which featured straight leather and no suede.

Add these le PÈRE sneakers to the list, too.

And there's more where that comes from. According to le PÈRE, this is only the "first installment" of their collaboration, which promises a season of drops. Who knows, maybe the gentlemen will get more chic sneakers.

For now, the PUMA Suede collab is available on the le PÈRE website for $120.
