Summary

  • The collaboration relaunched PUMA’s Mostro and Talon silhouettes through SAN SAN GEAR’s street-mindset take.

The Seoul-based label SAN SAN GEAR and PUMA are releasing a joint capsule for Fall/Winter 2025 that applies the “FULL-THROTTLE” concept to two of PUMA’s performance-heritage models: the Mostro Cage and the Talon.

For the Mostro Cage, the update retains its low profile but introduces an asymmetrical spiked sole and toe that catches the eye while staying tonal and stealthy. The mixed weave-and-suede upper gives texture without shouting, letting the sole attack do the talking.

On the Talon, SAN SAN GEAR builds on the suede upper with a rubbery, claw-shaped Formstrip that wraps around the silhouette and picks up light with each step. The overlay contrasts the soft suede and signals the co-branded nature of the design.

The Seoul label is known for a technical-streetwear register, often shifting between sportswear, techwear, and outdoor influence rather than being locked in one lane. That identity clearly informs the collaboration here, the aesthetic isn’t polished minimal but kinetic, urban, and unfiltered.

Both models feature subtle co-branding, letting the details and construction tell the story rather than heavy logos. Retail pricing spans ¥25,300 to ¥28,600 JPY (approx $166–$187 USD) and the release date is set for October 31 via PUMA’s website.
