Puraai at Moksín: velvet, bambi hair and slim soles in the new vegan sneaker collection
New Puraai collection: velvet, bambi hair and slim soles as the season's key trends in vegan sneakers
Some brands don't reinvent themselves just for the sake of it. Puraai has spent several seasons building a proposal rooted in the same principles: selected vegan materials, circular fashion and a retro silhouette reinterpreted with genuine criteria. What changes in this new collection isn't the philosophy. It's the materials. And that changes everything.
At Moksín we've selected five models that perfectly capture where Puraai is heading: three Panther and two XS, each making a distinct case through material and colour that speaks directly to the trends we're seeing in footwear this autumn winter.
What's new in the Puraai autumn winter collection?
The answer lies in texture. Puraai moves away from the flatter materials of previous seasons and commits to surfaces that have something to say: velvet as an accessible luxury material, bambi hair as the most direct reference to nature, and the slim sole as an aesthetic statement that connects with one of the clearest movements in contemporary footwear.
These are three design decisions that aren't accidental. They're a conscious response to what's happening in the footwear market, translated into Puraai's circular fashion universe without compromising its values.
The slim sole trend: less is more in footwear
Before getting into the models, it's worth pausing on something that runs through the entire collection: Puraai's commitment to low-profile soles.
For years the market went in the opposite direction — thick, chunky, voluminous soles. What's happening now is a correction of that trend. The most interesting footwear design is returning to cleaner profiles, silhouettes closer to the ground, a more honest relationship between the foot and the material.
In this collection, the Panther silhouette carries the slimmest sole of the two, with an especially clean, ground-hugging profile. The XS also has a fine sole, but with slightly more presence. Both are a long way from the chunky that dominated previous seasons, and that places them in a very specific and very current design direction.
Velvet as a trending material in vegan sneakers
Velvet has been consolidating its position in fashion for several seasons now. What's happening now is that movement is arriving in footwear — and particularly in sustainable vegan footwear, where the challenge of working with materials that feel luxurious without using natural leather is a real one.
Puraai handles it with confidence. The Panther Wine and XS Caviar models use vegan velvet fabric that delivers exactly that sense of depth and tactile richness that used to be the exclusive territory of suede or nubuck. The difference here is that the material is vegan and circular fashion — without compromising anything in terms of visual presence or feel.
Bambi hair: nature as a design argument
Bambi hair is the boldest and most distinctive detail in this collection. And it's also the one that best represents where conscious design is heading when it decides that the material itself can be the protagonist.
The Panther Bambi is the model that makes this case. Over a black vegan fabric base, the upper incorporates natural bambi-type hair in dark chestnut tones with its own organic variations. The effect is of a sneaker that feels alive — a material with its own character that can't be replicated by any other finish.
It's not a print. It's a material. And that difference is something you feel the moment you hold it.
The five models from the new Puraai collection at Moksín
Puraai Panther Wine — €179
The deepest burgundy in the Puraai catalogue on the brand's most commanding silhouette. The Panther Wine has an unmistakable character: the intense wine velvet fabric is paired with ice-coloured stripes with a serrated finish, and a particularly striking detail — multicolour bouclé wool laces in pink, beige, grey and green — that introduces a point of texture and craft that lifts the sneaker well above what you'd expect from a circular fashion trainer. The metallic wine interior lining completes the look with total chromatic coherence.
The sole is the slimmest in the entire Puraai collection: a very low profile, very close to the ground, with a clean and current design reading. The most expressive Panther in this selection. For anyone who wants the sneaker to do the talking in their look.
Puraai Panther Bambi — €179
The most distinctive model in the Panther range. The Panther Bambi works with bambi-type hair in dark chestnut with natural tone variations, over a black vegan fabric base, paired with three white stripes with a serrated finish and a double set of laces — a thick cream cord and a brown reflective lace.
The bambi hair isn't a print or an imitation: it's a material with real texture and organic variation that delivers a tactile presence unlike anything else. The contrast between the natural chestnut hair and the black base creates a material combination with a visual depth that is the most unexpected design argument in the entire collection. The slim speckled sole rounds it off.
Puraai Panther Chocolate — €169
The most urban and the most versatile of the three Panthers. The Panther Chocolate works with toasted brown nylon paired with black stripes and a double set of laces — cream and black with reflective detail — that gives this sneaker a cleaner, more dynamic profile than its range companions.
It's the Panther for anyone looking for a design vegan sneaker for everyday wear: versatile, easy to combine with almost anything. The slim cream gum sole is the cleanest of the three Panthers and the one that integrates most naturally in urban contexts.
Puraai XS Caviar — €209
Black on the XS silhouette, in velvet. The XS Caviar brings together black velvet with white stripes with a serrated finish, and one very precise colour detail: the nude camel heel tab, which breaks the all-black with a subtle but highly effective note of contrast.
The natural gum sole — transparent honey — against the black upper creates one of the most elegant combinations in the collection. The XS has slightly more sole presence than the Panther, though both share the commitment to a low profile. It's the vegan sneaker with the strongest monochromatic authority in the catalogue.
Puraai XS Chestnut — €209
The most timeless model in the XS range. The XS Chestnut combines technical nylon and suede-type fabric in a rust brown tone, with cream stripes with a serrated finish and a double set of laces — cream and brown with reflective detail.
Rust brown is one of the most sought-after tones of autumn winter: warm, with its own character and easy to integrate into both neutral palettes and more considered looks. Without velvet or hair, the Chestnut is the most classically constructed of the five, but with a colour and material combination that places it precisely where the season is going. The most versatile pick in the XS selection for anyone looking for a vegan sneaker that works in any context.
Puraai Panther vs XS: which one should you go for?
The difference between the two silhouettes is clear.
The Panther is the more visually commanding silhouette with the slimmest sole — more substantial in the upper, closer to the ground. It's the choice for anyone looking for a vegan sneaker with its own character and a strong presence in the look.
The XS is more dynamic, with slightly more sole height and easier to integrate across different kinds of looks.
On materials: Wine and Caviar work with vegan velvet. Bambi is the only hair material in the selection, over a black base. Chocolate is the most urban in nylon. Chestnut combines nylon and suede-type fabric in rust brown for the most timeless and versatile result of the five.

What materials does Puraai use in this new collection?
This collection introduces materials with greater texture: vegan velvet fabric in the Panther Wine and XS Caviar models, natural bambi-type hair on a black base in the Panther Bambi, technical nylon in the Panther Chocolate, and a combination of nylon and suede-type fabric in rust brown in the XS Chestnut. All materials are vegan and circular fashion.
What is the bambi hair on the Panther Bambi?
It's a vegan natural hair material in dark chestnut tones with organic tone variations, applied over a black fabric base. It's not a print — it's a real-texture material that delivers a tactile and visual presence unlike anything else. It's the most distinctive detail in the entire collection and the one that best captures where Puraai's conscious design is heading this season.
Why does the Panther have a slimmer sole than the XS?
It's an intentional design decision. The Panther works with the lowest-profile sole in the entire Puraai collection, reinforcing its clean silhouette and urban reading. The XS has slightly more presence at the base, though both share Puraai's commitment to fine soles over the chunky of previous seasons.
What's the difference between the Puraai Panther and XS?
The Panther is the more substantial silhouette in the upper with the slimmest sole. The XS is more dynamic, slightly higher in the sole and easier to integrate across different kinds of looks. The choice comes down to whether you want a sneaker that leads the outfit or one that completes it.
