Retro Game-Inspired Sneakers

PUMA Designs Bold Sneakers Drawing Inspiration from Tetris

— October 23, 2019 — Lifestyle
Since 1984, Tetris has been a favorite game for many and PUMA captures that nostalgic game through a set of new bold sneakers and apparel. The collection highlights the bright color palette of the game along with the falling Tetrimini blocks. The sneakers that are adorned in these designs include the RS 9.8 and the RS-X featured with bright logos on the tongue and details all throughout the models.

The RS-X sneaker boasts an extended heel that reads "HARD DROP" text which is a direct reference to the game command. The apparel that accompanies the sneakers feature details including the PUMA leaping cap, the Formstripe, arranged Tetrimino blocks, and more. There is an XTG Track Jacket paired together with a pair of XTG track pants, rounded out with a graphic tee.
