MTV and PUMA work in partnership once again on a series of sneakers and sportswear staples designed from an angle that really spotlights the 80s and its retro aesthetic. The duo first worked together in 2006 and the newest pieces celebrate PUMA"s signature RS-X sneaker models -- it is elevated by vibrant hues that make up a selection of captivating colorways.
These bright options reference the 80s and the eclectic culture of the era, highlighting white amongst teal and purple details, with one that features a black underlay to ground the piece. On the sneaker's lateral areas are branding accents referencing MTV's logo, with PUMA branding across the tongues. The apparel selection that accompanies the sneakers include tracksuits, shorts, tees, and tanks -- all of which are set to launch on March 14th.
