Winter is creeping in, which means that we have a limited number of days left to enjoy the sun and sand on our incredible beaches.

Soon it will be all about hunkering down indoors, avoiding the wind and rain.

Don’t let that thought dampen your spirits, though.

There are ways to keep the sun alive in the winter months, and PUMA’s Ocean Queen collection is up there as one of the best ways to maintain that beach vibe even when you can’t go to the beach.

PUMA has partnered with model and fashion icon, Winnie Harlow for a sneaker drop that will ensure that your feet stay firmly planted in summer, even if the rest of you is bundled into a coat and scarf.

Here’s Fortress of Solitude:

The latest collection takes its cues from the deepest seas for those in pursuit of making waves. This is the inspiration behind the PUMA Ocean Queen collection.

PUMA’s Ocean Queen embraces colours from the oceans, including bright aquamarine, yellow and soft pinks. This colourway is central to the collection. In addition to this, the apparel feature another centralised theme, mesh.

There are eight sneakers in the drop, and four of them can be snapped up in South Africa, at PUMA online.

The Cruise Rider, Oslo, RS-Curve, and Hedra are all straight out of the PUMA archives, giving you classic style.

Central to the sneaker drop is the PUMA Cruise Rider Ocean Queen. The sneaker makes a splash with an open mesh base. Additionally, it features suede overlays, with a leather metallic Formstrip and silver detailing scattered across the upper.

The Cruise Rider also boasts a higher midsole with sculpted detailing, and of course that Rider foam that makes you feel like you’re walking on seafoam.

This range is continuing the incredible work started as part of PUMA’s She Moves Us campaign, which is really picking up steam.

Apart from the sneakers, the Ocean Queen collection also boasts some ocean-inspired apparel, which you can check out here.

Shop PUMA online to update that winter wardrobe with a little summer flair.

Oh, and did I mention that you can pay off your purchase in three interest-free instalments? Go here to find out more about how to make that happen. 

Just because we’re not going to see the sun as often in the coming months, doesn’t mean we have to hibernate through winter.

Once an ocean queen, always an ocean queen.
