PUMA have teamed up with Australian sneaker retailer Platypus for a localised lookbook of the just dropped FENTY University Range.

The lookbook features musician and artist Ecca Vandal, dancer Asia Cariño, and DJ Mimi Velevska showing off apparel and the ever-popular FENTY Creepers. The range just dropped at Platypus but you better be quick if you’re hoping to cop.

03. A$AP Nast x Converse

Converse’s latest collab sees them teaming up with A$AP Nast for a collection inspired by mid-century furniture.

05. RIP Gary Warnett

And finally, to end on some bad news, the sneaker world is in mourning today with the passing of highly influential sneaker journalist Gary Warnett. Gary was one of the world’s most trusted voices when it came to writing about sneakers and streetwear with many considering his encyclopaedic knowledge unparalleled. We highly recommend paying respect to the man by looking up and discovering some of his hard work from over the years. RIP.
