The Monster’s Loose: PUMA Unleash More Mostro Mayhem
After making a monster comeback in 2024, the is sinking its spikes even deeper into the sneaker scene this year. Originally unleashed in the lead-up to the new millennium, the Mostro (Italian for ‘monster’) was a Frankenstein-esque fusion of sleek 1960s sprint spikes and sun-baked surf shoes from the 1980s. It quickly earned cult status, worn by genre-shapeshifters like Björk and Madonna. Now, 25 years later, the beast has roused from its slumber – this time thanks to a bandwagon of Big Cat collaborators including , and the prettiest rapper on the planet, .
The Mostro Multiplies: Satin, Camo and Mesh Join the Fray
Beware – the beast is hitting its stride! The PUMA Mostro continues its rampage in style, blitzing the sneakersphere with a fresh trio of mutant models.
Joining the already stacked lineup are these bold new takes on the cult-favourite silhouette: the Mostro Fey Satin, the Mostro Camo, and the Mostro Mesh.
The Mostro Fey Satin brings a razor-sharp, refined edge to the family – reimagining the Mary Jane inspired Fey variant with a glossy satin upper that slips effortlessly between sunlit sidewalks and moonlit mischief. Meanwhile, the Mostro Camo leans into a stealth-mode state of mind and utilitarian aesthetic, layering all-over camouflage with military motifs while keeping the signature Velcro strap and spiked outsole firmly intact. Rounding out the trio is the Mostro Mesh – a lightweight, performance-inflected take on the blistering Y2K classic. Breathable and technical, it offers a fresh option for warmer days or for those chasing something more stripped-back.

PUMA's Y2K Trip Is Peaking With the Mostro Ecstasy
The PUMA Mostro Ecstasy is your ticket to the warehouse rave. Back with a fluorescent vengeance, the Mostro Ecstasy plunges headfirst into the gaudy highs of early Y2K style. The latest drop delivers two electrifying colourways – ‘Electric Lime’ and ‘Pink Fruit’ – that lean hard into hedonism.
Each pair puts the spotlight on the Mostro’s unmistakable 2000s DNA. The low-profile shape is matched by a wild, spiked outsole – borrowed from 1960s sprinting spikes – and the signature Velcro forefoot strap, a design flourish that also nods to the breezy style of 1980s surf culture.
Like all of the Mostro’s past glories, it’s a hybrid of speed, swagger, and subculture. Wrapped in bold, monochrome tones from heel to toe, the Ecstasy edition is ready to go the distance.

The Mostro Mutates Again: Aries Turns Up the Fight Night Fury
The PUMA Mostro world tour rolls on with cult London favourite Aries – this time injecting the silhouette with a fighting spirit inspired by the raw energy of mixed martial arts. If the Mostro’s spiked soles and old-school straps weren’t already enough to yank your neck, Aries just raised the stakes with their latest link-up: the Mostro Craft Aries.
For their sophomore Mostro collaboration, Aries remixes the usual mesh or leather build with suede, giving the silhouette an even richer, more tactile finish. The first pair comes dressed in a deep brown suede, lit up with electric blue and candy pink hits. The second lands in a sandy beige and tan mix, jolted with volt orange and grassy green accents for extra shock factor. But the standout feature? The serrated Formstripe slicing across the uppers – like the Mostro just survived a run-in with the Big Cat.
Beyond the sneakers, Aries' full PUMA capsule taps into MMA’s brazen visual language with neo-tribal motifs, plush towel materials, and stonewashed finishes – a raw, athletic energy perfectly captured in the campaign starring professional Muay Thai fighter Anna 'Supergirl' Jaroonsak, shot by legendary photographer Norbert Schoerner.
