PUMA revisits a sneaker legend with the launch of the PUMA Mostro Archive Pack, bringing back the unconventional design that captivated sneakerheads in the late 90s. The collection features two timeless colorways – “Vapor Gray/Frosted Ivory” and “Black/Strong Gray” – offering a monochromatic take on the hybrid shoe that once redefined casual athletic style.
The PUMA Mostro Archive Pack pays homage to the original with a subtle faded finish and a technical ripstop upper that blends modern aesthetics with classic elements. The low profile silhouette features the signature spiked sole and functional strap closure, details that contributed to the Mostro’s unique appeal when it first hit the scene.
Introduced in 1999, the Mostro – which means “monster” in Italian – earned its name for its bold and experimental look. Inspired by the sprinting spikes of the 1960s and the laid-back surf shoes of the 1980s, it embodied a fusion of performance and lifestyle footwear. This daring blend set it apart from its contemporaries and resonated with those seeking innovation beyond traditional sneaker designs.
