Mostro Sneakers
Mostro isn’t a shoe for just anyone. For over two decades it’s been worn by those who defy conventions and eschew the norm. Taking its name from the Italian word for monster, Mostro is a hybrid creation that draws from two diverse realms: the sleek sprinting spikes of the ‘60s and the surfing shoes of the ‘80s. To this day it continues to captivate with its distinctive, sculptural design, low-profile shape, and avant-garde, spiked sole.

What makes PUMA Mostro different from other PUMA sneakers?
PUMA Mostro is a statement sneaker - not your everyday pair. They were made to stand out with a bold reinterpretation of conventional style and the Mostro shape has evolved over time, getting reinvented to reflect the cutting-edge of current trends. You’ll find plenty of PUMA heritage within its shape, colourways and architecture, along with strong influences from modern designers. Mostro was made to be your stand-out pair of sneakers, coming with layered shapes, distinctive lines and sports inspired aesthetic.
Are PUMA Mostro sneakers comfortable for everyday wear?
Yes, absolutely. PUMA Mostro has a more rugged looking exterior, while still offering exceptional comfort for your routine, no matter where the day takes you. With an elasticated hook-and-loop closure system instead of laces, soft insoles, and breathable fabrics, you can take them anywhere from walking, commuting and daily errands. This bold and almost architectural iteration of the shoe is unique, but they live up to the reputation of all PUMA shoes, giving you the balance of style and real-world use you want.
What is unique about the PUMA Mostro spiked sole design?
The spiked soles and sides of the shoe are arguably the key feature that draws your attention, making for a unique silhouette that stands out in your sneaker wardrobe. Inspired by performance-inspired footwear and an edgy 1960s sprinting spikes, while the softer lines of the hook fixtures were drawn from surf shoes. Dynamic, balanced, and visually contrasting, the spiky sole sculptural architecture not only adds an abundance of character but also contributes to this low profile sneaker’s stable, grounded feel as you move.
Are PUMA Mostro sneakers suitable for New Zealand weather?
New Zealand weather is variable, but PUMA Mostro sneakers are up for it. The rubber spiked sole is great for all seasons, giving you support and traction on the streets. Some Mostro styles are made from vegan materials, with more water resistance than those utilising suede. If it is a classically rainy day outside, this can impact the look and feel of suede and leather, so opting for something more water resistant is a good idea.
