PUMA And Motorola Link Up For Retro Sneaker Drop

Committed to push innovation and culture forward.

Sports brand PUMA and telecom company Motorola partner up to celebrate the reinvention of technology and sport style with an exclusive RS-X sneaker drop.

For 90 years, Motorola has pioneered innovation – be it delivering messages from the moon to creating the first mobile phone or developing the first 5G-upgradable smartphone, moto z3 with 5G moto mod. This collaboration brings together two cultural reinventors: one through sport and style, the other through tech and innovation for a nostalgia-packed collection, inspired by Motorola’s mobile phone designs.

“We are excited to partner with a brand that is equally committed to push innovation and culture forward,” said Adam Petrick, PUMA’s Global Director for Brand & Marketing. “Together with Motorola, we are taking the sneaker game to the next level with a brand-new iteration of the 80s RS style designed with tech-inspired details.”

“With over 90 years of innovation, Motorola has created some of the most beloved mobile phones that defined moments in fashion and pop culture.” said Renata Altenfelder, Motorola’s Global Brand Marketing Lead. “This collaboration with PUMA celebrates how style and technology continually inspire one another.”
