It was perhaps the most surprising sneaker of 2024: the PUMA Mostro. A sneaker that had been off the shelves for quite some time made its long-awaited comeback, with none other than A$AP Rocky leading the campaign. The sneaker will continue to be a major presence in the coming year.
Following the big activation during Paris Fashion Week last month, where the Mostro took center stage, two new colorways of the pair have now emerged. Unlike previous PUMA Mostro releases, these variants feature leather on the upper.
The sneaker will be released in the colorways 'Cream' and 'Black,' both featuring a monochrome design. The Mostro is characterized by its spiky outsole and sleek silhouette. Straps are placed across the upper, allowing for an adjustable fit. PUMA branding appears on the strap and heel.
The PUMA Mostro 'Leather' pack is expected to drop on February 22, 2025, at PUMA and selected retailers. Check out the official images of the sneakers below and don’t miss this release!
