It’s no secret that the previous Sukajan collaborations between atmos and PUMA have resulted in iconic and lively designs. However, it’s not just the details that captivate attention, it’s the history and inspiration behind them. Named after Japanese souvenir jackets, each Sukajan sneaker is inspired by vintage jackets brought back by U.S. soldiers stationed in Yokosuka. With such a rich history to draw inspiration from, it’s no wonder why these sneakers are as statement as they are. In previous iterations, the brands used hawks and tigers as the main focal point of their sneakers. While 2024 brings another element into the lineup, the same boldness and vibrancy remain in this unique partnership.

Donning a rich dark green suede upper, this sneaker has a bold embroidered dragon on the side with a gold-yellow stripe in the foreground. On the inside upper of the sneaker is an outlined map of Japan highlighting some of the most iconic cities like Tokyo and Kyoto. Also added is the embroidered outline of a mountain along with the ‘Japan’ written in cursive. The classic PUMA logo remains on the back heel, as well as on the sneaker’s tongue. Although the design’s vibrant and bold details won’t fit with everyone’s style, it’s certainly a piece of art that many will want. Those looking to get on a pair can sign up for a lottery via atmos’ web store until December 19. The sneakers will then be released on December 20. A striking and unique shoe, this classic PUMA silhouette is sure to be an amazing colorful touch to any wardrobe.

Stitch-Fix releases their 2025 style forecast with 2 style trends to stick to

As we head into 2025, we look ahead to see what the new year will bring us and what we will leave behind in 2024. Of course, we make resolutions and renew hope that the "travel more, work less" or the "sleep more, worry less" staples will actually come to fruition. We make new commitments to financial responsibility. We don't know about you, but there is little chance that any of those will differ for us because the calendar flips over. But we love a promising outlook for the new year, and this year's style trends are one of the places we love to look. Stitch-Fix is a staple in our industry as it revolutionized the easy way to elevate your style. And with their reach with their clients, they have their finger on the pulse of what YOU want to see in the new year. The Stitch-Fix Style Forecast has dropped, and two things stuck out to us that will be huge in 2025.
Travel comfort

Maybe the "travel more, work less" thing is going to actually happen. One of the things you will see more of in 2025 is the explosion of travel wear. Of course, the industry isn't new to this idea, as wrinkle-free shirts and stain-resistant pants have made travel a little easier for a while now. But this year, the trend will lean harder towards the elevated athleisure that started to emerge in 2024. You will see things like hybrid pants and luxury sneakers begin to appear at the airport. As a matter of fact, that may mean that you are going to start seeing fewer pajamas and slippers on the plane and more smart casual looks. We can only hope.
For the love of denim
