Where to Buy the Puma x PlayStation Collection

The Sony PlayStation x Puma Footwear collection releases on April 18.

A titan in the current console generation, the PlayStation 5 sets the theme for this innovative footwear collection, marking another strategic alliance by Sony in the footwear space, following memorable partnerships with Nike and Travis Scott.

This collaboration breathes life into Puma's celebrated models, the RS-X and Puma Suede, each reimagined to reflect PlayStation’s iconic color scheme and design ethos. This collection seamlessly marries the aesthetics of gaming with the functionality of high-end footwear, creating pieces that are both a nod to gamers' loyalties and a testament to timeless sneaker design.

For the Puma Suede variants, available in Grey and Black, the design incorporates PlayStation's hallmark symbols—triangle, circle, X, and square—debossed across the suede upper, offering a tactile exploration of PlayStation’s interface. This detail extends to a cut-out near the lateral heel, subtly showcasing the PlayStation controller buttons, a clever nod that enhances the shoe’s nostalgic appeal.

The RS-X models dial up the homage with a dynamic gradient pattern on the ripstop base, mirroring the vibrant PlayStation user interface. The iconic controller buttons reappear, featured in cut-outs near the mudguard and on the tongue tag, complemented by a special hangtag that cements the collaborative effort. Each pair in the collection is finalized with semi-translucent sole units, under which the playful button symbols are tastefully displayed.

Set for a global release on PUMA.com on April 18, the PlayStation x Puma Collection is a celebration of the convergence of digital and physical play.
