ADER Error and PUMA previously worked together earlier this year and the duo joined forces once again to design the 'Fantastic Mistake' collection for the Winter 2018 season. The new seasonal capsule is comprised of signature PUMA silhouettes that take on design infusions that are representative of ADER Error, with a highlighting theme of futuristic elements. The new range sees the iconic RS-100 and RS-0 sneaker models that boast elevated designs including a raised platform, suede mesh construction and leather trimmings.
There are also new details including branding accents in iridescent finishings, waxed nylon lacing systems and chunky tooling. To accompany the sneakers are some apparel and accessory options including caps, puffer jackets, slides and pants. The overall structure of the collection takes on bulky shapes that are accented with bold graphics.
