``SLIPSTREAM'' basketball shoes were introduced in 1987. “SLIPSTREAM SNAKE”, which appeared as a lifestyle model in 1988, was available only in mid-cut at that time, but to commemorate the 35th anniversary of SLIPSTREAM, the low-cut version will be reissued as MIJ for the first time in 2022.

To apply the snake pattern this time, normal embossing can only produce a single color, but we created a special mold with the unevenness of the grooves between the scales reversed, and created a coating only on the grooves after embossing. By using advanced technology to scrape off the color, it is possible to express two colors. It can be said that Himeji, Japan's largest leather industry region, is able to express detailed color adjustments and special processing to the fullest using skilled techniques.

Although they are based on basketball shoes, they are particular about the design balance that can only be achieved by being made in Japan, with an emphasis on the beauty of a clean silhouette when worn. The high-quality Himeji leather has a glossy feel that you can enjoy as it changes over time every time you wear it. As for the insole, we have adopted a cup insole that fits the round shape of the human foot, giving it a better feel and fit, making it a pair of shoes that PUMA is proud of, expressing MIJ's commitment to the utmost. .
