Known for their sleek Euro styling, German-based brand Puma has taken a page from several American sneaker companies of late, offering their own chukka-inspired lifestyle design. The Puma Hawthorne Mid is a worthy addition to the growing lifestyle market, its four new releases for the holiday season each looking great in monochromatic suede with tonal laces. Click on the jump below to check out pairs in blue, sand, wine and black, all of which ride white Puma Match soles, save the sand joints that use a gum bottom instead. Are these better than the Vans Chukka (del Barco), Nike Aina or Jordan Grown series? Let us know with a comment and look for the Puma Hawthorne today at select retailers.
