The Puma x Gremlins All-Pro Nitro Releases December 8
Puma Basketball takes a walk on the wild side this holiday season with a whimsical collaboration, drawing inspiration from the iconic 1984 film "Gremlins."
Known for their creative partnerships, Puma has outdone themselves by introducing the Gremlins x Puma All-Pro NITRO, a sneaker that blends pop culture nostalgia with modern performance technology.
The design of the All-Pro NITRO perfectly captures the essence of the film's most memorable characters: Gizmo and Stripe. The sneakers feature a clever mismatched design, each shoe representing one of the two Gremlins. The left shoe pays homage to Stripe, the movie's main antagonist, with a deep olive green base interspersed with subtle brown accents, reflecting the Gremlin's distinct appearance. In contrast, the right shoe brings Gizmo's character to life through a brown-and-white color scheme miming his furry texture.
The attention to detail extends to the tongue of each shoe, adorned with fluffy white detailing that adds a tactile element and a dash of '80s flair. The heel of each shoe features a vivid depiction of Gizmo and Stripe's faces, further cementing the theme.
To complete the Gremlins experience, the shoes come packaged in a special bright green box, complete with "HANDLE WITH CARE" labels and breathable holes – a nod to the film's narrative. The tongue tabs of the shoes display the three essential rules for handling all Gremlins, adding a playful and interactive element to the design.
Priced at $140, these sneakers are set to release on December 8th at PUMA.com and sell to Big Cat stockists.
