Mark your calendars, sneakerheads, because the PUMA Mostro is about to burst onto the scene with a show unlike any other. On the 8th of February at the iconic Park Avenue Armory, the sportswear giant will open the doors for a Mostro morphosis, an event celebrating the return of a legendary sneaker and setting the stage for a Fashion Week to remember.
Get ready to enter another world where humans and monsters mix in the PUMA Mostro, a shoe that’s as daring as its Italian namesake. Ripped from the depths of the PUMA archives, this low-profile icon has a spiked sole that’s ready to take on the concrete jungle and a versatile strap closure that lets you customise your swagger. But the Mostro is more than a shoe; it’s a statement, a rebellion against the ordinary, a whispered echo of Y2K futurism ready to rock the present.
Heiko Desens, PUMA‘s creative director, isn’t shy about the show’s ambitions: “We’re celebrating the comeback of a legend, but we’re also pushing boundaries. This is about revealing Mostro concepts that whisper of tomorrow, building the sneaker archive of the future.“
And PUMA isn’t alone in its excitement. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) is thrilled to have the brand back in the Big Apple: “PUMA’s energy is contagious,” says Steven Kolb, CFDA CEO. “Their show on the eve of New York Fashion Week is the perfect prelude, a promise of creativity and a hint of the wild that’s to come.”
Light, music, projections and experiential elements will transform the Park Avenue Armory into a portal to PUMA Mostro’s universe. Musical guests and collaborating talent will be announced closer to the date, but one thing’s for sure: this is one show you won’t want to miss.
