Original Vintage Puma Mostro

“We’re all bored of the search for the new it-thing – it’s become a caricature of a narrative, especially when it comes to sneakers – but we can’t not talk about the Puma Mostro’s major comeback this year. Since the first collab with Ottolinger back in October 2023 (which dug the sneaker out of the archive), Puma has reissued the shoe, releasing a handful of cold colourways and collaborations – with Ottolinger, A$AP Rocky, and the latest with Aries, which dropped last week. 25 years later, this y2k revival has come in strong. The Mostro (Italian for ‘monster’) was designed as a hybrid of a ‘60s sprint sneaker and an ‘80s surf shoe, created by Puma designer Peter Schmidt, who was given the task of making a new trail shoe.  This outlandish fusion of mesh, suede, spiked soles and asymmetrical Velcro straps birthed the Frankenstein-esque Mostro. To this day, 25 years later, the Mostro still has the same appeal and the same futuristic vibe it did when it was first released. And that’s because it doesn’t really look like anything else on the market. “It was ahead of its time,” The Mostro reflects the current zeitgeist of avant-garde, experimental aesthetics.” In good used condition, worn maybe twice have some wear from storing. Size EUR 37 US 5.5 but fits more like a narrow 6 Feel free to comment or message for more details…
