A$AP Rocky Is Bringing Animal Prints to His Puma Sneakers

Two different animal prints are set to make an appearance on three different sneakers in the next collection from A$AP Rocky and Puma.

The A$AP Rocky x Puma Inhale, Mostro Gabbia and Mostro OG are all subject to makeovers featuring leopard print or snake print for the October launch. Leopard print is exclusive to the Inhale, making subtle appearances on the mustache and tongue on pony hair as part of an overall natural color scheme featuring tans and black.

Both the Mostro Gabbia and Mostro OG then feature snakeskin, with the latter model also incorporating black pony hair as well. On the Gabbia, the snakeskin is applied to the shoe’s base, while its overlays, including a removable cage, appear in black. The OG Mostro inverts the arrangement, rendering the Formstrip in snake print and the rest of the upper in fuzzy material.

Animal prints are making more frequent appearances in sneakers across the board, including a “Cheetah” Samba that’s sold out through several restocks this year, cow print pony hair Air Jordan mules, and a leopard print pack for the Nike Dunk Low and Air Force 1 Low.

The A$AP Rocky x Puma animal print Inhale, Mostro Gabia and Mostro OG will release Oct. 9, with men’s sizes on Puma’s website and women’s exclusive to the app. Pricing is set at $150 for the Inhale and Mostro OG and $250 for the Mostro Gabbia.
