PUMA
takes us to Morocco for a sneaker pack inspired by the grandiose gardens
created in the 1920’s by French painter, Jacques Majorelle. Famous for its
marble fountains, raised pathways and luxurious vegetation, the garden is
composed and coloured like a painting. Many of the features were painted in a
rich and vibrant blue with yellow and green hints, creating a perfect harmony
with the soil, climate and plants. After years of neglect, the garden was taken
over and restored in the 1980’s. It is now one of the most visited sites in
Morocco and hosts an archeologic museum, as well as the Islamic Art Museum of
Marrakech.
PUMA
applies the many vibrant colours of the garden to two classic styles, the Blaze
of Glory (R2 299) and Clyde (R2 499). Both shoes feature a plush, nubuck upper
in vibrant blue with perforated details that adds texture and provides
breathability. The upper is complimented by an all-white midsole. Look a little
closer at both styles and you can see that the outsoles as well as the footbeds
are detailed with a tiling pattern that symbolizes the traditional Moroccan
tiles that adorn the garden.
The
PUMA MJRL pack is available at PUMA SELECT Bree Street, Cape Town and
Braamfontein, Johannesburg and X-Trend Stores.
