PUMA WHITE INTENSE RED 13 PUMA Skope in May and foregrounding many of the same design choices that defined his time with Nike. Instantly a sell-out proposition, news of a follow-up colorway were scant until now. The Boy Better Know boss is uniting again with BWGH X Puma Bluefield R698, releasing an olive green colorway exclusively via the England-based retailer.

Contrasting the all-black look of the original, the second edition of Skepta shoes produces a more reptilian look. The reflective leather on the upper remains in place but turns towards emerald Rocket, as does the mesh a layer below it. The edges of this sneaker keep it in grounded territory by surplusage primarily in staid black & white. On this edition specifically, Without the iridescent leather to distract from it, the sole arguably becomes the main draw of the Skepta PUMA Skope, extending out onto the toe-box and heel of the shoe.

While it doesn’t appear this is a true collab, there’s precedent and synergy in this team-up all the same. Notably, Skepta enlisted DSM for a genuine one just last year, minting a co-branded apparel with them via his MAINS streetwear label.

The PUMA Skope Forever releases on June 15th exclusively via BWGH X Puma Bluefield R698; both their global retail locations and website. While a retail price hasn’t been confirmed, expect this pair to command something around $200, the MSRP for the debut colorway.
