To show off the way we communicate today, the PUMA X emoji collaboration was created based on a fun and universal digital language. The collection of footwear, apparel and accessories covers classic PUMA styles with some of the best-known icons to create styles that are youthful and expressive.

While the RS-2K X emoji includes a hook and loop piece where detachable emoji icons can be added, the RS-X3 X emoji style includes the same detachable component and a hidden "What's Up?" message. There's also the PUMA X emoji Tee and PUMA X emoji Hoodie, as well as a pair of sweatpants that are adorned with playful emoji icons.
