A$AP Rocky's PUMA Straycat Sneaker: A Motorsports-Inspired Ride
A$AP Rocky and PUMA collaborate on the Straycat sneaker, a motorsports-inspired ride with chunky Vibram soles and sturdy materials.
The latest collaboration between A$AP Rocky and PUMA is the Straycat sneaker, a departure from the partnership's previous archival remakes.
The Straycat features layers of sturdy ripstop nylon, classic leather, and suede for the upper, with chunky Vibram soles that extend its durability and grip past the midsole. This design choice gives the shoe a rugged look, reminiscent of a vehicle with its own tires.
As PUMA's creative director for its F1 partnership and general motorsports business, A$AP Rocky's influence on the Straycat is evident. The shoe's motorsports-inspired design is a fitting addition to the partnership's universe.
The Straycat also keeps up with some traditions, featuring dirtied-up details and double lacing, similar to past Rocky x PUMA sneakers.
The all-new ride is scheduled to release at select stores like Asphaltgold and SVD, starting on August 27.
