Puma‘s iconic Mostro sneaker, first introduced in 1999, is set to make waves this summer with the release of two perforated-leather colorways. Named after the Italian word for “monster,” the low-top silhouette has been reimagined as a second skin with premium leather uppers in sleek monochromatic white and black.
The Puma Mostro’s signature spiked sole and versatile strap closure remain defining features of the sneaker, which originally drew inspiration from the world of sprinting and surfing. This fusion of ’60s track spikes and ’80s surf shoes created a convention-defying hybrid that has stood the test of time.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Mostro continues to embody the originality and rebellious spirit that made it an instant classic. The perforated leather uppers of these latest iterations offer breathability and a lightweight feel, perfect for the warm summer months.
To showcase the sun-kissed style of the Mostro, Puma captured a series of vibrant visuals in the vibrant city of Marseille. The images highlight the versatility of the sneaker and its ability to blend effortlessly with any summer outfit, from casual beachwear to urban streetwear.
Sneaker enthusiasts and fashionistas alike can get their hands on the Puma Mostro starting July 13th, 2024. The sneaker will be available at select retailers worldwide, including KITH, Slam Jam, END. Clothing, SSENSE, SNS, Atmos and SAiSON.
