Whilst gravity is holding you down, courage is pulling you up. For those who dare to break laws of physics and societal rules, PUMA introduces the RS 9.8 Sci Fi sneaker with its futuristic silhouette as a nod to humanity’s interstellar desires.

The name RS 9.8 refers to 9.8 m/s2, which is the approximate speed of gravitational acceleration near the Earth’s surface. Reach for the stars through the PUMA RS 9.8 Sci Fi with its black material mix on the upper, white midsole and heel detail, metallic-coloured toe burst panel and purple glimmer and orange colour pops.

The RS 9.8 Sci Fi, retailing for R1599, drops at PUMA stores, sportscene, The Cross Trainer, Side Step, Superbalist, Jack Lemkus and selected retailers from 1 October 2019.
