Originally launched in 1999, the Mostro takes its name from the Italian word for monster, which describes the shoe’s bold hybrid look that draws inspiration from two realms – the sleek but tough sprinting spikes of the '60s and the chilled-out surfing shoes of the '80s. 

Truly one of the most distinctive sneakers from PUMA’s archive, the low-profile style boasts defining features such as its signature spiky sole and forefoot strap closure. Introduced in a Light Grey and Yellow color combination earlier this year, the experimental sneaker is now set to launch in two neon variations for its second drop. 

The Mostro made its official return through the lens of photographer Chris Maggio in New York City, showing the silhouette through the daily lives of several unique city dwellers. Following that, the Mostro reared its head at PUMA’s "Welcome to the Amazing Mostro Show", a runway-event experience that kicked off New York Fashion Week. 

The new PUMA Mostro colorways will be available starting March 23, 2024, at selected retailers worldwide including Kith, Slam Jam, LN-CC, END. Clothing, SSENSE, WORKSOUT.
