Matt Varga After a slow developing start to their relationship, the PUMA ASAP Rocky news is coming fast and furious all of a sudden. While his latest Inhale collection was already tipped off, the two partners are now sliding a new addition into that upcoming capsule. Following the return of the PUMA Mostro to their mainline, the turn-of-the-century silhouette is getting a next century update with new 3D-printed construction.
While the Mostro’s original shape is kept intact, the 3D printing process leads to a seamless, one-piece shoe with a a litany of hexagonal honeycombs circular perforations throughout. Additionally, the defining spiky look of the Mostro’s outsole spreads all throughout the shoe, including a patch of jagged protrusions throughout the forefoot. Though the resin-based 3D printing process almost assuredly results in rigid hardware throughout, this is in fact a slip-on model, adding some high fashion sensibility to the Monstro 3D on top of its futuristic manufacturing.
Pretty Flacko’s contribution firstly executes the brooding black & red colorway that graced the ASAP Rocky Inhale collaboration on September 26th, said by PUMA to mimic “spraypaint airbrushing” in its gradient application. The same applies for the pair in black & neon green, echoing the same palette on an airbrushed, dollar sign print on the shoebox of both pairs.
The PUMA x ASAP Rocky Monstro 3.D. drops on September 26th, retailing at $250 in both the neon green/black and “Pop Red” outfits pictured below. Watch the respective “Where To Buy” sections if either one caught your eye; either one will have direct shopping links on release day.
