Puma‘s take on the dad shoe trend just got a fresh update, thanks to customizing standout Dominic “The Shoe Surgeon” Chambrone.

Chambrone created two new iterations of the Thunder Desert for the Elements Pack, which features a “Fire” and an “Ice” look. And while the colorways are bold, it’s the materials used that make these kicks stand out.

The “Fire” sneaker, a strikingly color-saturated look, is executed in several different materials, including yellow, orange and red python, orange plonge leather, and premium black leather. The “Ice” sneaker, which bears a cool aesthetic, is made with aqua, royal blue and white python, teal plonge leather, and premium white leather.

Although Chambrone posted the new sneakers to his Instagram account, @theshoesurgeon, there is no word if he will sell them via his website, Theshoesurgeon.com.
