Puma is no stranger to the soccer world, having become the official sponsor of many of the world’s biggest clubs over the course of its history. With an eventful year leading up to the FIFA World Cup, brands are ramping up their soccer-inspired releases with new collaborations and designs. While brands like Nike and Adidas have recently released new sneakers along with teams, Puma’s latest release takes a look at one of the brand’s iconic soccer cleat silhouettes. It transforms it into an everyday lifestyle sneaker. Taking on its V series model, the athletic company has reimagined this soccer cleat style into a sneaker that can be worn on and off the pitch. Keeping the shape of its traditional look, the new sneaker is performance-inspired and is ready for the eventful year of soccer that awaits.

Taking a more streetwear approach, Puma’s new V-S1 sneaker infuses everything you love about soccer cleats with the comfort of your everyday sneaker. Featuring a low-profile silhouette, the V-S1 includes a structural heel cage and asymmetrical lacing. Composed of a textile upper accented with metallic details, the sneaker also boasts plenty of shine and style. The EVA midsole and rubber outsole provide ample comfort and stability to the design. In its latest release, the V-S1 is available in two new championship-worthy colorways: White/Silver and Gold/Black. Both iterations are available via Puma’s website and select Puma stockists for $140 each. Whether or not you’re a soccer player, the V-S1 has everything you need to show off your skills on and off the pitch.

While PUMA’s Skope Forever was only released a year ago, the brand is already creating new and exciting innovations for their newest rugged design. With UK rapper Skepta, PUMA is revamping the boot with more Y2K and hiking-inspired details. While the overall design of the sneaker isn’t drastically different, the new features and color palettes breathe new life into the design. This sneaker isn’t just for its looks; it’s also equipped with practical features that enhance its comfort and support. While the rugged structure of the shoe mimics that of a hiking boot, the design can quickly become a streetwear favorite due to the flashy details and stylish composition. The new collaboration between PUMA and Skepta remains an ideal option for fans of a bulkier sneaker that doesn’t weigh on the user.

With footwear brands reaching into the archives to deliver unique and statement designs, PUMA isn’t holding back. While PUMA’s Mostro OG isn’t a new or reimagined sneaker, it’s undoubtedly one of the brand’s most rebellious acts. Drawing inspiration from sprint spikes and surfing shoes, the Mostro OG’s initial release was an out-of-the-box move from the brand that sent shockwaves through the industry. First developed in 1999, this sleek and slim shoe perfectly contrasts the chunkier sneaker trend that managed to take hold. While PUMA continues to reinvent this design, the brand has released three new exciting colorways that draw some similarities to the current Speedcat sneakers that are ruling the trends.

With three bold new colorways on the horizon for the sneaker, the Mostro OG is seeing yet another revitalization. Designed with a breathable mesh upper and silver Formstrips, the sneaker dons a futuristic and sporty look. The design’s signature hook-and-loop fastener straps ensure user protection and stability, whether running the track or taking a stroll around the city. Also featuring a textile sockliner and rubber outsole, the sneaker is designed to remain comfortable and provide plenty of grip. In this new release, PUMA unveils the Mostro OG in vibrant red, blue, and green colorways, similar to many of the iconic sneakers we’ve come to love from the brand. Set to release on March 1 and retail for $120, fans of this rebellious shoe can purchase a pair via the PUMA web store. Although the design isn’t new, the innovative spirit of the sneaker remains, even after all these years.
