Available now and throughout the ongoing winter season next year, the Alexander McQueen for Puma shoe collection consists of twelve different styles of shoes for both men and women. The collection is based on the theme of “hiking,” and features Alexander McQueen’s distinctive asymmetrical detail as well as dramatic contrasts to signify silhouettes of mountain ranges.
