PUMA presents a small Mostro pack of sneakers, breathing new life into the classic silhouette. The pack is only comprised of two sneakers and the reissue follows the brand's previous work with Ottlinger. With the new year, the brand launches the progressive silhouette with bold colorway looks and retains some traditional elements as well.
Its namesake nods to Italian roots, meaning 'monster' and it takes on a unique structure defined by sleek lines before being further offset by sprinting spike panels along the edges of the shoe. The original launches of the silhouette often got a build of soft suede and other fabrications, specifically leather. This time around, the new edition has a mesh build and lycra lining.
