PUMA Boasts Old School Elements with the New Future Rider Sneaker
PUMA continues to add to its 'FUTRO' line, which blends futuristic design elements with retro influences with the latest Future Rider sneaker model. The update boasts a colorway that blends Whis White, Pebble, and High-Risk Red. The sneaker delivers retro elements as it is an archival silhouette by PUMA from the 80s, originally known as the Fast Rider as the most comfortable running model.
The updates feature materials including soft leather and suede materials as well as an additional padded nylon to reference its heritage. The sneaker is detailed with gold foil at the eyestay for branding details and sits on a treaded gum outsole foundation. Other details include the TPU heel stabilizer in bright red, smoother leather at the tongue tag and eyestay, and leather Formstrip stitching on the side.
