Illustration Unveiling
The official announcement, made by "One Piece" officials on X, was accompanied by an exciting illustration by Takashi Kojima, the animation director for the anime series.

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.
