A$AP Rocky and PUMA Drop Highly-Anticipated Collection
Sports company PUMA and music artist A$AP Rocky have launched their latest collaborative work. This fresh collection features footwear, apparel, and accessories. After its debut at New York Fashion Week, the highly anticipated Mostro 3.D will finally be available for purchase in limited quantities. Additionally, Rocky will unveil his re-engineered Inhale sneaker. This sneaker has an allover distressed treatment and custom embroidery.
Inspiration Behind the Collection
The Inhale Distressed sneaker draws inspiration from car mechanics. It reflects the grease stains and dirt they accumulate while working. Moreover, both the Inhale and other collection pieces showcase a distressed treatment. They also feature authentic racing design elements and A$AP Rocky x PUMA branding.
Rocky’s vision for pushing footwear design boundaries comes to life through the Mostro 3.D. This bold style uses an innovative resin-based 3D printing process.
