Heritage English pattern and fabric makers Liberty of London have teamed with PUMA for a flowing floral take on the classic Basket. Boasting a crisp upper covered in rich pink floral patterns, the collaboration combines Liberty of London’s nearly 150 years of pattern-making experience with PUMA’s iconic sporty style to create a luxurious-yet-unpretentious lifestyle sneaker.Uppers are crafted of tan perforated leather and suede — the former of which is present on the quarters and collars, the latter on the toeboxes, tongues, eyestays and heel pieces. There’s also a white leather toe cap for extra texture. After its base is set, this Basket wastes no time in adding a wealth of floral details. Lateral and medial quarter panels alike take on a rich print that shows flowers, branches and leaves. Tongue tags get in on the action too, surrounding their co-branded detailing with a dash of floral embellishment.Plain PUMA graphics appear on the lateral midfoot and the heel, with white laces bringing the top half together. The shoe’s build is rounded off with white rubber midsoles and outsoles. A special box with a healthy helping of Liberty of London floral print rounds off the look.The Liberty of London x PUMA Basket will release at retailers like Asphalt Gold come August 28. Its MSRP is set at $120 USD.For more footwear news, be sure to check out HYPEBEAST’s exclusive look at the second UNDEFEATED x Nike Air Force 1 “5 on It.”Click here to view full gallery at HYPEBEAST
