Science-Inspired Sneaker Releases

The PUMA Cell Venom Debuts at a Conceptual Pop-Up in London

— December 6, 2018 — Fashion
The PUMA Cell Venom relaunches with a 90s-inspired chunky aesthetic and the footwear brand debuts its offering with an interactive conceptual pop-up space in London.

The one-day activation features a lab-like environment — from robotized assistants and 3D-printed footwear replicas to lab coats and test tubes. Perhaps what makes this conceptual pop-up shop special, however, is the focus on consumer experience. Individuals had the opportunity to "try their hand at deconstructing, and later reconstructing" the PUMA Cell Venom. This catalyzes imagination and creativity, fostering "outlandish conceptual prototypes" of the release. Since not everyone is or has to be proficient in the area of footwear re-design, the label taps into sneaker customization experts, Mr. Bailey and David Mawdsley, who were available on-site to offer advice and assistance to guests.
Trend Themes
1. Customization Culture - The focus on consumer experience and sneaker customization fosters creativity and outlandish conceptual prototypes for future releases.
2. Lab-like Experiences - Creating a lab-like environment with robotized assistants and 3D-printed replicas allows individuals to deconstruct and reconstruct PUMA Cell Venom while sparking innovation.
3. Nostalgic Aesthetics - The 90s-inspired chunky aesthetic of the PUMA Cell Venom relaunch taps into nostalgia for past fashion while inspiring new design ideas.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear Industry - By allowing customers to deconstruct and reconstruct the PUMA Cell Venom, footwear brands can spark creativity and generate new product ideas.
2. Retail Industry - Creating lab-like environments and interactive experiences in stores offers customers an opportunity to engage with products in new ways and generates buzz around the brand.
3. Fashion Industry - Nostalgic aesthetics can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion brands looking to tap into the past while creating new designs for the future.
