JJJJound Strips Back the PUMA Mostro
Delivering a masterclass in refined minimalism, PUMA and JJJJound reunite, introducing a new collection of PUMA Mostro created through the lens of the Montreal-based design studio.
Distilling the Mostro’s bold silhouette into a thoughtfully executed pack, JJJJound once again applies his signature aesthetic to PUMA’s design catalogue, following up on a China-exclusive Suede release from 2022.
The understated and detail-driven interpretation spans across two separate colourways, each featuring a premium nubuck upper, paired with a supple leather liner, and the Mostro’s spiked sole unit in black. Departing from the original Mostro design from 1999, but keeping the silhouette’s unique edge, JJJJound swaps out the forefoot strap closure in place of more conventional lacing, which matches the shoe’s butter yellow liner. Two colourway options include Brown and Navy Blue, while PUMA’s Formstrip is rendered with simple stitching across the upper. Lastly, JJJJound’s branding is stamped on the shoe’s sole insert.
JJJJound and PUMA have also created one execution that will be limited to a friends and family release. This version remains faithful to the original Mostro with a strap closure and two-tone colourway.
The JJJJound PUMA Mostro will be available from 12 July 2025 at Shelflife. Price R2 999.
