— February 6, 2022 — Lifestyle
PUMA and Minecraft join forces and work in collaboration to highlight the video game through a series of footwear and apparel designs. The footwear silhouettes spotlight the Suede sneaker and the RS-Z sneaker models. In addition to the wearables, the duo will also be launching a downloadable PUMA DLC that lets players customize their own avatars and play with new virtual skins at the PUMA store before they can play different games such as racing and other content to unlock.

The special DLC is set to go live on February 8th online at the Minecraft Marketplace and will be exclusive to the Minecraft Bedrock Edition. The characters are centered around the palette of black, grey, blue, and white, which are also the hues that detail the wearables.
