Originally launched in 1999, the Puma Mostro derives its name from the Italian word for monster, which described the experimental look which marked a new aesthetic for the time. The silhouette became an overnight hit, garnering cult status amongst Japan's fashion-forward style crowd.
A hybrid creation that stands out while fitting in, the Mostro draws inspiration from two diverse realms—sleek but tough sprinting spikes of the '60s and water shoes of the '80s. Puma fused these two unlikely touch points and created the Mostro.
The slimline, anatomically shaped uppers sport a nylon strap closure which forgoes laces. The outsole contrasts with heavily spiked rubber lugs which add an heir of aggression to this cybernetic icon.
