The designer's modern reinterpretation gives the original silhouette from 1999 a new face and brings it into 2025. The Mostro Mule features an open, slip-on design without a heel part and a streamlined shape, while retaining the shoe's signature spikes.

After his show, Nouchi explained: "I synthesized the essence of the iconic Mostro shoes into a radical mule design using a single material, transforming it into both a design object and a comfortable sneaker."

This visionary collaboration takes its inspiration from the natural strength and grace of PUMA’s namesake, the ferocious big cat.

The PUMA Mostro was first introduced over 25 years ago and incorporated design elements from running and surfing clothing. Today, the silhouette with its incomparable look is considered a street style icon. Its name is derived from the Italian word for “monster.”

The PUMA x LGN Mostro Mule will be available in two color variants at select retailers from January 25. Keep an eye on our Sneaker Releases.
