Often times, female sneakerheads get the short end of the stick with men’s-only drops or extremely limited quantities of small sizes, leaving most empty-handed. Vashtie Kola, a modern renaissance woman, is the first female to get her own signature Jordan, so it’s no surprise that the ladies can get in on her latest collab. 

The Vashtie x Puma R698 has style cues favorable to women and men alike. The shoe is comprised of a grey leather upper, with hints of grey suede on the toe cap and heel, and accents of Vashtie’s signature violet — also seen on her Jordans — on the sock liner and “Trinomic” branding. The heel brandishes a gold X made up of two letter Vs. They're something you can grab for your lady or yourself.

These are available for $115 on Puma in a full size run from 4-13.
