In the past, Saucony was Dunkin’ Donuts go-to supplier for footwear, with the brand having been commissioned for a few Boston Marathon themed colorways. But for 2022, America’s beloved coffee chain is joining Puma this time around, customizing both a GV Special and Triple basketball sneaker right in time for Iced Coffee Day.

While both shoes incorporate the same palette — which is pulled directly from Dunkin’s own logos — the Triple does so in a way more bold, with pink and orange shades covering much of the silhouette’s rear. White neutrals are pushed farther out to the toe, and used to highlight the co-branding at the tongue and heel, the latter of which splices together a bitten donut with a basketball.

In contrast, the GV Special is far more versatile, built with a white leather upper and matching midsole. The pinks and oranges, while identical in color to the above-mentioned pair, highlight the lace unit, outsole, and Formstrip more subtly. Adjacent, the branding, too, is quite different: the tongue’s logo sees the Puma jumping through the hole of a donut and the heel depicts a large cup of iced coffee.

To further celebrate the occasion, Dunkin’ Donuts and Puma have donated these footwear styles to hospital partners across the country, gifted specifically to Child Life Specialists who bring joy in a way few can. If you would like to secure a pair of your own, the collection will drop on May 25th at Puma.com, Puma flagship stores, and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
