The primary model features a red and black scheme, paying homage to Luffy's iconic outfit. The designers at Puma have also integrated rubber-like textures into the shoe's design, a nod to Luffy's Gum-Gum abilities. This collaboration marks a unique blend of Puma's innovative sports technology and the adventurous spirit of the "One Piece" series.
