BAIT Redesigns PUMA’s RS-X in Celebration of The Flash
The superhero-inspired sneaker has been a popular genre of footwear as of late and recently, one more design is entering the ring. In celebration of the upcoming release of The Flash, BAIT has tapped PUMA for a special collaboration to commemorate the film and DC Comics' beloved character.
The superhero-inspired sneaker takes on the silhouette of PUMA's classic RS-X silhouette. As expected, the model features a striking crimson colorway and bright yellow detailing—immediately paying homage to the superhero outfit aesthetic of The Flash. BEAMS and PUMA add some black patterning on the toe and the sole of the show, further emphasizing the "sheer speed."
The Flash RS-X by BEAMS and PUMA is expected to hit stores on June 14th.
