PUMA and Motorola join forces to bring forth a collaborative project that seems unusual as the unconventional duo spotlight the new RS-X Motorola sneaker. The footwear model is themed after the Motorola phones, delivering retro design elements due to the craze that surrounded its mobile phones in previous years.
The sneakers are constructed from mesh materials as the base over the uppers before it is overlayed with hits of leather and suede materials. It sits on top of a bulky midsole and has pull-tabs over the tongue and the heel. As a nod to the overarching theme, there are details including text that read "Mini USB" and "hellomoto." These details recall the tech label's early cellphones and the colors feature silver, purple, black, and white.
