PUMA's Beautifully Beastly Shoe Is an Easy Flex for A$AP Rocky
As creative director of PUMA's F1 partnership, of course A$AP Rocky was present for F1's Miami to sell his latest motorsport collection, including his first-ever PUMA shoe. As with most Rocky appearances, good 'fits are a given (maybe a Rihanna sighting too). Rocky's Miami minute was no exception.
At his PUMA pop-up, Rocky proved his multitasking skills to be top-tier. The musician managed to promote his new gear, have an arcade date night with Rih, and get a cool race 'fit off all at once.
With his ensemble for the evening, he checked two boxes because his 'fit consisted of his own PUMA pieces. Rocky sported his trompe l'oeil T-shirt and spacious denim jorts stamped with PUMA's leaping cat. His puffer biker helmet was also quite the nifty, but his PUMA shoe of choice really stood out.
Rocky continued his PUMA Mostro love affair, lacing up in the brand's delightfully decadent silver and neon green spiky Mostro sneakers. Rocky's wild-looking Mostro shoes — they're called the Uni Mostro — were first seen during PUMA's Mostro-centric runway show held during February's New York Fashion Week.
Rocky has worn other colorways of PUMA's Uni Mostro while posing as a model for the German sportswear giant, casually donning blazers and denim jeans while wearing the crazy shoe birthed from 3D printing and made even more monstrous by all-over pointy details.
Rocky and the Mostro became thick as thieves during the shoe's revival. He frequently flexed the racing-worthy sneaker in his effortlessly cool everyday style, to the point that many believed he would hand-pick the Mostro as his first PUMA shoe collaboration.
We're still pleased with the breathable Inhale sneaker team-up, but we have our fingers crossed for an actual Rocky x PUMA Mostro sneaker collab.
The Mostro effect has reached Rocky's family, too. As Rocky stepped out in the Mostro's wildest iteration yet, Rihanna wore those pink Mostros (to match her new bubblegum pink hair...duh!).
