Technology plays a large role in the advancement of the world as a whole, and the PUMA RS silhouette abides by this progressive concept with its reinvented design. The label taps back to its archive and revives the iconic PUMA RS silhouettes from the 80s. The new PUMA RS range still delivers the same cushion technology that was first seen in the 1986 PUMA RS-100. Following that release, PUMA implemented the RS technology to craft the first computer-assisted performance shoe -- the RS Computer shoe. It had the elements of a custom-designed computer chip that was created to track running time, distance and burned calories.
Today's contemporary approach still focuses deeply on progressive factors, consistently pushing for innovation. The brand new PUMA RS-0 stays true to its heritage, while delivering a modern look and functionality. It boasts the same retro style that takes something from the past and makes it suitable for modern day.
