Dubbed the 'Fourth Dimension,' it is evident that the footwear giant is experimenting with color palettes and motifs. The latest iteration boasts a chunky and breathable upper, which captivates attention by way of the daring combinations of colors and prints. Somewhat alluding to cosmic elements, the PUMA RS-X sneakers are meant to deliver "the perfect balance of [retro and future](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-runner)." The composition of the upper is, without a doubt, the highlight of the footwear offering. Of course, PUMA stays true to the technical side as well. The sneakers boast the RS-X's original OG Running System. However, the brand updates its innovative cushioning technology to match the dynamic demands of the contemporary consumer. As a result, the PUMA RS-X sneaker is not only a fashion statement, but it will also hold your foot comfortably and securely.
