German sportswear giant Puma is gearing up to launch various Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed sneakers, mainly focusing on LaMelo Ball’s series of signature sneakers to bring the characters and series to life. Outside of the four LaMelo sneakers and the fifth ultra-limited MB.04 Shredder, Puma is also launching lifestyle models in this TMNT project, including two previously revealed Puma Suede XLs, one for Krang and another for the turtles. Now, a final pair exclusive for the kids has been revealed.
Tackling the once-popular Puma RS-X model, the sneaker comes in black and slime green, with cracked leather, mesh, suede, and smooth leather details found throughout. Cracked leather hits the collar and eyestays, while a soft leather finish is applied to the toecap and heel overlay. The Formstrip on the midfoot takes on a printed finish in a slime green that matches the hues found on the sockliner, heel tab, and the co-branded Puma and TMNT tongue tag.
The sneaker's base is dark grey mesh, allowing the light grey suede panel along the forefoot to shine. Unfortunately, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles branding is not as prevalent as the other pairs in this collection. The series's only other instance of branding is found via the City Sewer-branded hangtag. The slime green foam midsole and outsole finish the design.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Puma RS-X GS will release on February 14, 2025, through Puma and select retailers online and in-store. Available in GS sizing, the retail price is set at $110.
