Puma LaMelo La Francé Gradient

Sandstone-Canvas is the name of the colour on the Puma LaMelo La Francé Gradient: sand and ecru tones in a gradient, the light version of this LaFrancé. The result is a chunky skate-inspired trainer with a softer, more summery feel than the dark versions.

• Upper: textile, synthetic and cow leather
• Lining: textile
• Outsole: rubber
• Fastening: laces
• Style code: 313478-02

The LaFrancé is LaMelo Ball's lifestyle model with Puma. It draws on the bulky skate shoes of the 90s and early 2000s: padded tongue, wide laces and a cupsole with Melo's messages and the LaFrancé logo, his personal brand.

The sand tones call for light or earthy outfits: wide white or ecru jeans, beige cargos, a grey long-sleeved tee and a brown cap. It also works with an olive tracksuit, which contrasts without breaking the palette. For something smarter, stone-coloured pleated trousers and a denim shirt.

Light colours get dirty sooner: clean the textile with a soft brush and soapy water, and the leather with a damp cloth.
