The Drop
The Puma Fade Pokémon Umbreon (SKU 407024-01) channels the Dark-type Eeveelution's signature midnight aesthetic through deep blacks and electric blue accents. This collab targets the massive overlap between sneaker culture and Pokémon nostalgia—a licensing play that Puma's been pushing hard to capture younger collectors. The Fade silhouette keeps things low-profile, letting the character branding do the heavy lifting.
Resell Verdict
Fair market sits around $216, though asks scatter wildly from $168 to $450 depending on size and seller delusion. With 270 weekly orders, there's genuine demand but not Air Jordan chaos. Resell's holding steady in that safe mid-tier zone—you'll move pairs, but don't expect moonshots. Best play is copping multiples on discount and flipping locally to avoid shipping headaches. Kein Hype-Explosion, aber solide returns for patient sellers.
Fake Tells
- ▸Umbreon embroidery quality: Legit pairs have tight, dimensional stitching on character details—bootlegs go flat and sloppy
- ▸PUMA Formstrip texture: Should feel rubberized with precise edges; fakes often use cheap printed overlays
- ▸Box label alignment: Official Pokémon x Puma boxes have crisp co-branding; reps botch font weights and spacing
Who It's For
Pokémon collectors who actually wear their cops, plus streetwear fans chasing subtle fandom flexes without full cosplay energy. Perfect for casual fits where you want conversation-starter details without screaming "limited edition."
Sizing & Fit
Puma Fade runs slightly narrow—go half-size up if you've got wider feet, otherwise TTS works for most.
