A$AP Rocky x PUMA Look to Harlem and Jazz as the Inspiration
Cape Town, South Africa, 9 October 2025 – A$AP ROCKY x PUMA return with a new
collection inspired by the Harlem jazz renaissance. Snakeskin, leopard print, and shaggy faux-
fur collide with statement denim, graphic tees, and other streetwear staples. The result is
layered with bold textures, disruptive branding, and a blending of past and present style, all with
a Flacko twist.
To celebrate the launch, Rocky hosted an intimate group of friends of the brand for a jazz
performance and dinner at La Dolce Vita in Beverly Hills.
Two of Rocky’s favourite PUMA sneakers – Inhale and Mostro OG – return alongside a bold
new style and new personal Flacko favourite: Mostro Gabbia, built with a removable cage. All
the sneaker silhouettes received an animal-inspired upgrade inspired by the spirit of Jazz music
in Harlem. The Mostro Gabbia draws its name from the Italian words Caged Monster and
channels the spirit of the PUMA archive through a lens of modern tech, layered with evolved
armour. Described as “a creature of design” it’s built to shield, adapt and transform with every
step.
“One of the earliest samples we built was the Mostro Gabbia in snake leather, and it
immediately stood out,” said A$AP Rocky. “It had this sense of refinement and forward-thinking
design. It was a direct nod to the wild spirit of “jungle jazz” and the Cotton Club. From that point
on, it became my favourite piece in the collection. There was something about the way it fused
luxurious materials with sharp, technical construction that made it feel like more than just a shoe
it set the tone for everything else we created. It opened a new way of thinking about how to
blend elegance, innovation, and a spirit of pushing boundaries across the whole collection.”
