Cape Town, South Africa – 7 November 2024 – Sports company PUMA and music artist, creative, and designer A$AP Rocky just dropped a night-racing inspired collection featuring footwear, apparel and accessories.
After hitting the market in late September, the Mostro 3.D is back in a striking new colourway. In addition to this highly anticipated style, Rocky is restocking his take on the Inhale Sneaker, which has been re-engineered with an allover distressed treatment and custom embroidery.
Handpicked from the archive, this version of the Inhale Distressed was inspired by night racing and neon lights and has mesh and neoprene uppers. Both the Inhale and full collection pieces feature high-speed racing graphics and classic A$AP Rocky and PUMA branding.
The full collection includes:
- A$AP ROCKY x PUMA RACING SUIT – with a slim fit to mimic a racing suit, this set features quilted diamond stitching, custom PUMA graphics, and a quarter zip closure at the neck.
