The PUMA x SEGA RS-0 collab collection finally has a release date! Set to drop next month, here’s a good look at the PUMA x SEGA RS-0 Sonic & Dr. Eggman.
We’ve known about this upcoming collection for quite some time, but info and images were minimal until today. The PUMA x SEGA RS-0 collab will include one pair of the model done in a Sonic theme and the other done in a Dr. Eggman theme.
The PUMA x SEGA RS-0 Sonic takes cues from Sonic the Hedgehog and the areas he protects, including the iconic Green Hill Zone. The upper is made from a textured suede reminiscent of Sonic?s trademark blue fur while the striking red outsole stands for his shoes. Other color details on the shoe pay represent items such as the classic gold rings, and the lush green grass that he speeds on. The upper also features micro ventilation perforations, embroidered PUMA Formstrip, deboss of Sonic?s head and gold rings. Metallic gold rings once again appear on lace ends relating to the classic gold rings collected in the video game. The story continues on the mid and insole with checkered print nostalgic to the retro video game. 16-bit grass print on heel is a nod to the Green Hill Zone. Outsole features translucent red rubber and a Sonic logo under print. Finally, the tongue label features the collaboration logo and RS-0 binary number branding.
The PUMA x SEGA RS-0 Dr. Eggman take cues from Sonic the Hedgehog?s archnemesis, from his flashy outfit to the black and yellow caution stripes from his Eggmobile represented by the sneaker?s all-over red upper and footbed. The upper is decked in a pebbled patent leather with micro ventilation perforations, a debossed PUMA Formstrip, and a debossed Dr. Eggman head that shoots fireballs from his Eggmobile. His conniving face and fireballs are debossed on the medial heel, while gold rings, have been inserted on the lace. The footbed features black and yellow caution stripes – nod to the graphics on Eggman?s Eggmobile. Metallic outsole and caution stripes take design cues from his scientific machinery. Outsole features translucent blue rubber and Sonic logo under print, the exact colour referenced from Dr. Eggman?s glasses. Tongue label features the collaboration logo and RS-0 binary number branding. Both sneakers are packaged a special box that inspired by the iconic Green Hill Zone.
The PUMA x SEGA RS-0 Sonic & Dr. Eggman will be available at puma.com, PUMA Stores and select sneaker retailers globally on June 5th for the retail price of $130. Who’s excited for this drop?
