ASAP Rocky and Puma are collaborating on a new version of the Mostro that strips away the traditional heel structure. The backless mule design reimagines the shoe as a slip-on, keeping the bold Mostro aesthetic while changing how you wear it.
The Puma Mostro debuted in 1992 as a basketball shoe, known for its chunky proportions and distinctive silhouette. Over the years it has become a staple in sneaker culture, worn both on and off court. The shoe has seen various updates and reissues, but this collaboration with ASAP Rocky marks a significant departure from the original design.
Rocky has a track record of working with Puma on lifestyle footwear. His collaborations tend to push the brand into more experimental territory, blending streetwear sensibilities with established silhouettes. This backless mule follows that pattern, taking a recognizable model and adapting it for a different wear style.
The mule format changes how the Mostro functions. Without the heel cup, the shoe becomes more casual and easier to slip on and off. The Mostro’s chunky sole and structured upper remain, but the open back gives it a more relaxed vibe. This makes it a hybrid piece, somewhere between a traditional sneaker and a sandal-influenced slide.
Details on specific colorways, materials, and pricing have not been confirmed. The collaboration is expected to debut soon, though an exact release date has not been announced. Puma and ASAP Rocky will likely reveal more information as the launch approaches.
