As part of their Puma Volvo Ocean Race Team campaign, the big cat has delivered a casual shoe for cold chillin’ on deck that still has a bunch of performance attributes. With a link back to Puma heritage through the Mostro franchise connection, the Aqua Mostro has a vulcanised sole unit and strap on the forefoot to keep water out and the feet dry and comfortable on those ‘Perfect Storm’ occasions. The sole was specifically designed for extra grip and agility on those slippery decks. You can cop your pair here.
Developed and tested with the team itself, the PUMA Sailing Performance Collection was created by sailors and will be worn by the PUMA Ocean Racing team throughout the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009. The gear will be put to the ultimate test during the nine-month race taking the sailors from the icy conditions of the Southern Ocean to the hot tropical climates of Brazil and India. 'We are repeating the formula we used in our successful motorsport line. We developed performance wear for our Formula 1 racers that gave us entry into the sport. From that we created a lifestyle line for the general consumer,' said Antonio Bertone, Chief Marketing Officer, PUMA AG. The PUMA Sailing Performance Collection is available globally at marine specialty and select PUMA stores. The line features a variety of sailing apparel that is appropriate for all weather conditions and all types of layering with an outer shell, mid-layer and base layer items.
