London-based fashion label Aries is continuing its partnership with Puma in 2025. The duo just dropped two new colorways of the Mostro silhouette, following up on the two-pack of sneakers they dropped in September last year. Next for the Aries x Puma collaboration is a mid-top version of the Mostro silhouette.
Thanks to Aries, the surf shoe and track shoe are fused with a completely redone upper. A single piece of leather coats the entire design. Perforations create the classic Formstrip logo on the midfoot, while stitching on the lateral helps add some depth to the single piece of black leather. Branding for Aries and Puma is split on the top of the tongue opening, featuring Puma’s cat logo on the right shoe and the Aries logo on the left.

On the medial side, a zipper allows you to open the sneaker for an easy on-and-off experience. Leaning into the duo’s recent martial arts aesthetic, the zipper comes with a beaded tassel. Finishing the sneaker is the spiked Mostro sole unit extending from the outsole in a gum finish and an iridescent midfoot shank.
The Aries x Puma Mostro Mid will release on June 7, 2025, through Puma, Aries, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $190.
