“I love the Suede Mayu because it has a uniquely different, easy-going and rounded silhouette. It fits nicely with the characteristics of FLABJACKS.”
What’s the inspiration for the PUMA x FLABJACKS collection?
The name of this collection in Chinese is “好的⼀天”, which translates as “Have A Good Day”. I must’ve head this super simple phrase from my father-in-law and it just stuck with me. It has a nice ring to it and a positive vibe, and I wanted to spread an uplifting energy through the collection. May we all have an OK day!
The collection consists of three variations of the Suede Mayu.
I love the Suede Mayu because it has a uniquely different, easy-going and rounded silhouette. It fits nicely with the characteristics of FLABJACKS. The shoe has this funky proportion that makes it feel welcoming, and I especially love the slightly ballooned soles.
There are some interesting names as well.
All three shoes represent a certain feeling and mood. “Happy Doing Nothing Island” is filled with bright and uplifting primary colors, and I truly believe that some of my best days are those where I do absolutely nothing. Sitting around. Bit of deep breathing. Sipping on tea. What a blast. That goes hand in hand with “Garden of Rest”, which is more peaceful and floral. Finally, “Fuzzy Cactus Park” has a funky grass-like texture to it.
These designs are heavily influenced by the time I’ve spent in San Francisco in recent years. The natural landscape here has become such a big part of my work. I love the sunny weather and blue skies, as well as the succulent plants that I see every day on my walks. Every season, there seems to be a new plant, flower or tree that’s transitioning in a beautiful way.
