It has been half a century since the legendary Apollo 11 moon landing mission, and to celebrate this momentous occasion, PUMA has tapped the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the brand new NASA x PUMA RS-9.8 Space Explorer Pack! Launching as part of the ‘Space Explorer’ Pack, these other worldly creps definitely deserve a spot in your collection!
Taking on the RS-9.8 silhouette that was first unveiled just this summer, it takes inspiration from the approximate speed of gravitational acceleration near the Earth’s surface, making it the perfect shoe for this collaboration. Painted in NASA’s iconic red, white, and blue colour palette, premium smooth leather make up the entire upper, with shimmering silver panels hitting the heel and lateral and medial toe, representing an astronaut’s mission ready space suit. Down below, you’ll find an extra chunky foam midsole that’s been infused with the German giant’s signature Running System technology, making every step feel like you’re walking on the moon.
Launching on July 20th, the NASA x PUMA Cell Alien Space Explorer Pack will release alongside the NASA x PUMA RS-9.8 Space Explorer Pack, so if you’re planning to cop, be sure to keep it locked at this page for more release info and stockists as it develops!
