A Nod to the Past: The Jil Sander x Puma King Avanti

Launching once more, the brands are returning to their roots with the release of the Jil Sander x Puma King Avanti. While the silhouette closely resembles the original version debuted in 1998, the new name pays homage to the rich history of the Avanti model. This shoe was a success in 2001, featuring a Sander-less King sneaker that gained renewed popularity through a collaboration with Rihanna’s Fenty label.

Design Features of the King Avanti

The King Avanti showcases a premium all-leather upper construction, enhancing its luxurious appeal. Its design includes the signature piping that fans have come to recognize, offering a look that is both classic and contemporary. The initial colorway is a striking deep navy, almost black, accented by a crisp white Puma stripe running along the sidewall, creating a clean and sophisticated aesthetic.

Elegant Branding Details

Adding a touch of elegance, the Jil Sander branding appears in delicate gold font above the Puma stripe. A unique foldover tongue reveals a white leather interior adorned with gold detailing and a navy Puma logo for a cohesive look. This thoughtful attention to detail underscores the collaboration’s commitment to both style and comfort.

Uncomplicated Yet Stylish

True to the essence of the original design, the Jil Sander x Puma King Avanti embodies an uncomplicated and elegant aesthetic. It is a versatile sneaker suitable for various occasions, making it a must-have addition to any fashion-conscious individual’s wardrobe.

The highly anticipated Puma x Jil Sander King Avanti is officially available as of today, October 14. Fashion enthusiasts can purchase this elegant sneaker through the official Jil Sander website (jilsander.com) and at select Jil Sander retail locations for a retail price of $500.
