PUMA continues to shine a spotlight on the Mostro sneaker model as it has been making its return lately and the most recent iteration of the shoe is reimagined with perforated leather construction throughout the upper. The choice of fabric ensures that the velcro-strapped shoes are more breathable that the traditional version without perforations. Notably, this also forms a textural look.
The perforated Mostro sneaker model will be unveiled in two colorway options -- both of which are monochromatic for a minimal design. It is set to launch officially on July 13 and it can be shopped at Highsnobiety shop along with other retailers. The sole unit has spikey details that are inspired by the sprinting spikes from the 60s and calm surfing shoes from the 80s.
