The Puma Palermo is a real classic with its suede and leather upper: The silhouette made its debut in the 80s - now Palermo is finally officially back. Discover the Puma Palermo for men and women in the Asphaltgold online shop. Also included: The latest drops from our Puma x Asphaltgold Palermo collab!
An icon brought back to life: With the Puma Palermo OG, a Terrace legend returns from the archives. Soon after its debut in the early 80s, the model became a popular companion in the stands of British football stadiums.
It's no wonder that the Palermo became an iconic piece of the football fashion scene of the 70s and early 80s like no other shoe. Britpop bands Oasis and Blur also picked up on the trend - and literally brought the Puma Palermo onto the stage. This laid the foundation for a real hype about the Puma sneaker .
With its latest drops, the manufacturer is bringing back memories just in time for the European Cup - and at the same time renewing its homage to the Sicilian namesake: Fresh, summery colorways are reminiscent of the southern architecture of Palermo with its bright facades. The Puma Palermo comes in green, peach and pink tones, but more subtle combinations are also available.
In keeping with the history of the kick, brand ambassador Dua Lipa has already teased the Puma Palermo OG in 2023 - in vintage football jerseys and surrounded by the antique backdrop of an old Italian villa. The cult shoe comes with two types of leather, the characteristic brand tag on the upper, the T-toe construction and a rubber outsole. Just like the original sneaker from the 80s.
But that's not all: Just in time for the re-release of Palermo, we at Asphaltgold have started a collab with the manufacturer. With Puma x Asphaltgold, Italian culture takes even more center stage. The *Scopa* model is decorated with references to the card game of the same name.
The colorway in light blue, delicate beige and red is derived from this, as is the coin symbol visible through the sole and the patterned inner lining. The *Sedia* model is also a homage to the Italian attitude to life: the iconic pub chair adorns the tongue and insole as the namesake. The design thus alludes to sitting together and southern hospitality - including hidden text excerpts from a well-known children's song.
