What you will find in this collection: men's Puraai sneakers
The Puraai sneakers in our catalogue are organized by model. Each color is an individual reference with its own product page, making it natural to select the model first and the color second. We have included them in the footwear selection at our Formia store. Pier Paolo Marotta has been selecting men's clothing and footwear since 2016, guided by the founder's background in traditional Neapolitan tailoring.
Vintage
Vintage is the model offering the broadest selection of colors. The names evoke a bar counter and a cellar: Mojito, Daiquiri, Tequila, Vodka, and Baileys on one side; Champagne, Sidro, Cabernet, and Chianti on the other, with Cream, Osso, and Vischio completing the lineup. While the name offers direction, it does not replace the image: verify the actual color on the grid photos and product page.
The price range sits in the mid-tier of our selection and remains fairly uniform, with minor variations from color to color. For those discovering the brand for the first time, we recommend starting with the Vintage line, as it offers the widest variety of color options.
Panther
The Panther comes in Army and Dirty Black. It features the lowest price point among the Puraai models in our selection, making it the most logical starting point for budget-conscious decisions. Selecting a pair is straightforward: open the product pages and compare photos and specifications before making your choice.
XS
XS is a model name, not a size. It is available in the XS Milk reference, priced in line with most Vintage colors. As with every model, shape and materials can be verified through the photos and product description.
How to choose
By budget or by color
The Panther serves as the entry point to the Puraai selection; Vintage and XS occupy the mid-range tier. Price differences between colors within the same line are minimal, and the current price is always shown on the product page. Those prioritizing color will find more options in the Vintage line; those starting from budget should look at the Panther.
In both cases, a practical rule applies: start from the garment you wear most often—denim, chinos, or cotton trousers—and select a color that pairs well with it, rather than focusing solely on the name.
The fastest selection process follows three steps: pick the model based on budget, open two or three colorways to compare photos, and verify size availability. The entire line can be evaluated in just a few minutes.
What to check on the product page
Before selecting a sneaker, three specifications matter more than the name: upper material, sole type, and inner lining. These are the key details to verify on each product page and compare between Vintage, Panther, and XS, as they determine durability and overall comfort. If any detail is unclear, we recommend reaching out before placing an order.
Size and fit
The product page lists available sizes for each color, which may vary from one model to another. We avoid making blanket statements regarding fit across different models: if you have sizing questions, contact our team at the Formia store to confirm availability and receive tailored guidance.
The current season
The references featured on the grid belong to the current autumn-winter collection; models and colorways are subject to change with seasonal updates.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which men's Puraai models are available in the collection?
Vintage, Panther, and XS. The Vintage model offers the widest range of colors, Panther is available in Army and Dirty Black, and XS comes in the Milk edition.
What is the difference between Puraai Vintage and Panther sneakers?
In our catalogue, there are two distinct differences: the Panther features a lower price point, while the Vintage provides a substantially broader range of colors. Regarding shape, materials, and construction, we do not apply a single generalized description across both lines; refer to the individual product page and photos for detailed specifications.
What materials are used in Puraai sneakers?
Materials vary across the range and are specified on each model's product page rather than generalized across the collection. To view a model in person, visit our Formia store after confirming stock availability.
How much do Puraai sneakers cost?
They occupy a mid-tier price range: the Panther is the most accessible, with Vintage and XS positioned slightly above, featuring minor variations between colors. The active price is always displayed on the catalog grid and product page.
How should Puraai sneakers be cleaned?
Care instructions depend on the upper material, so always check the specific product page first. Generally, fabric, smooth leather, and suede require distinct care methods: use a soft dry brush for dust, and apply water or cleaning agents only after confirming the material composition. Never dry sneakers near direct heat sources.
