Puma is reintroducing Palermo, a terrace shoe that originated in the 1980s football scene.
The 2023 release stays true to the original blue-and-white design, with a retro T-toe construction, gum sole and gold Puma lettering on the tag.
The Palermo pays tribute to Sicily's capital with two additional vibrant colourways inspired by the city's fruit vendors.

Germany company Puma is marking the return of Palermo, a terrace legend and a shoe that pays homage to the coastal capital of the island of Sicily. This storied low-top originally made its debut in 1980s football stadiums, where it was a staple amongst the terrace crowd.

Puma’s 2023 bring-back features the shoe’s original blue-and-white colourway, complete with a retro T-toe construction, a classic gum sole, and the shoe’s signature tag featuring Puma lettering in gold. Lastly, Puma’s cat logo can be found on the shoe’s heel.

The Palermo was originally part of a special series of sneakers created by Puma that paid homage to some of Europe’s most famous capitals, including London, Oslo, and many more. Part of Puma’s storied history, to this day; the Palermo’s unmistakable DNA evokes a deep sense of football nostalgia.

As a tribute to the shoe’s Sicilian namesake, the upcoming August drop includes two additional colourways, featuring vibrant schemes inspired by Palermo’s iconic fruit vendors, known locally as fruttivendolo.
