Sportswear label PUMA introduces it's RS-0 Game Pack infusing futuristic design elements with a nostalgic feel. The label draws inspiration from the old-school gaming world and incorporates recognizable video game cues throughout the range. The capsule sees two colorways in total, which both recall hallmarks of video games, named 'Error' and 'Restart.' The RS-0 Error sneakers draw influence from arcade games and see accents of coding graphics and a pixelated formstrip across its midsoles.
The RS-0 Restart sneakers infuse a design inspired by the pixelated screen of when glitching problems occur. The Game Pack's Error shoes are now available online and in-store, whilst the RS-0 Restart sneakers will be available beginning July 13 -- both for the price of $120 USD.
