Skepta and Puma have been busy cooking up their latest collaborative drop together, this time featuring a new mid-top take on Skepta’s signature Puma design: the Skope Forever. Tapping into a tech-luxe aesthetic, the collection has a Gorpcore undertone imagined through Skepta’s unique lens as a cultural lynchpin of our time.

It’s not hard to see traditional outdoor hiking influence here, particularly with the palette of brown uppers and red rope laces. While this may be true, the wider collection also leans on 2000s influences with a modern update, giving the range as a whole a more nuanced feel.

Likely more ready for the streets than the trails, the Skope Forever features smooth leather uppers, with mesh underlays, fitted out with rope laces and hiking-inspired metal eyestays. Lower down you won’t miss the chunky lugged rubber outsoles and the embroidered Formstripe is a nice subtle nod to the Speed Cat.
