A$AP Rocky and PUMA drop footwear and apparel collection

A$AP Rocky and PUMA Drop Highly Anticipated

Footwear and Apparel Collection featuring the Mostro 3.D and Inhale Distressed

Cape Town, South Africa – 26 September 2024 – Sports company PUMA and music artist,
creative, and designer A$AP Rocky will drop their latest collection featuring footwear, apparel
and accessories on 4 October. After debuting on the stage at New York Fashion Week, the
Mostro 3.D is finally available to purchase, albeit in limited quantities. In addition to this highly
anticipated style, Rocky is debuting his take on the Inhale Sneaker, which has been re-
engineered with an allover distressed treatment and custom embroidery.

Handpicked from the archive, the Inhale Distressed was inspired by car mechanics in the
garage finishing their days with grease stains and dirt all over their clothes. Both the Inhale and
full collection pieces feature a distressed treatment, authentic racing design details, and A$AP
Rocky x PUMA branding.

Rocky’s intention to push the boundaries of footwear design is brought to life through the Mostro
3.D, a monstrous and bold style using an innovative resin-based 3D printing process.

The full collection includes:
 A$AP ROCKY X PUMA MOSTRO 3.D:

The PUMA Mostro is radically reimagined via
3D printing. The black and red coloring, spikey details, and unique shape dare the
wearer to let the Mostro 3.D loose to walk the streets.

 

 A$AP ROCKY X PUMA INHALE DISTRESSED:

This progressive streetwear staple is
re-engineered with an allover distressed treatment, embroidered flames surrounding the
Formstrip, and a translucent gradient sole.

 A$AP ROCKY X PUMA TANK TOP:

This tank stands out with a puff-printed PUMA Cat
Logo with tire marks at the chest, plus AWGE branding at the back. It features a loose fit
and a distressed treatment as if it’s been worn in the garage all day.
 A$AP ROCKY X PUMA KNEE PAD PANTS: This pant is inspired by the knee pads
worn by pit crews. An oversized PUMA Cat Logo appears at the front, with a PUMA Formstrip embroidered at the back pocket.

 A$AP ROCKY X PUMA TEAM ZIP POLO:

This zip polo is a fusion of streetwear and
racing DNA. Its classic polo design features racing graphics and AWGE branding, a
distressed and lived-in treatment, and a zip closure at the throat.
 A$AP ROCKY X PUMA DENIM SHORT: The denim shorts are designed with dark wash
denim and a baggy fit and feature oversized PUMA branding at the front and a Formstrip
stitched at the back pockets.

 A$AP ROCKY x PUMA WEBBING BELT:

The webbing belt directly pulls inspiration
from old school car seatbelts. It features PUMA, A$AP Rocky, and AWGE embroidered
patches with a classic seatbelt closure.

 A$AP ROCKY x PUMA LEATHER BELT:

The leather belt is designed with crystal
buckle details and removable pouches. Its design is inspired by a mechanic’s toolbelt,
elevated and reimagined for day-to-day functionality.

 A$AP ROCKY x PUMA PADDED BALACLAVA:

The padded balaclava features PUMA
and AWGE graphics throughout. The piece mimics a racers helmet, featuring a Velcro
closure at the mouth.

As we’ve seen with his past campaigns, A$AP Rocky was hands-on throughout the entire
creative process from product design to directing and styling the marketing campaign.
“It was about time that I put my own spin on some of the best footwear styles that PUMA has to
offer,” said A$AP Rocky. “People have been asking nonstop about the Mostro 3.D since the
fashion show so I’m excited to finally get them out. Then we also have the OG Inhale with hand-
distressed fabric and custom embroidery/detailing, giving that worn look to tie into the rest of the
apparel. I’m really happy with how these turned out and can’t wait for everyone to see what else
we have been working on.”
The collection, excluding A$AP ROCKY X PUMA Mostro 3.D, is available on 4 October on
PUMA.com and Shelflife.
