Motorola and Puma are collaborating on a pair of sneakers

The new shoes are not "smart", they have no technical gadgets such as pedometers or similar on board. Motorola and Puma explain: "Inspired by Motorola's mobile phone designs, the RS-X Tech highlights Motorola-specific details that bring the mobile phones of the 80s, 90s and 2000s into focus. With textures on the outsole reminiscent of the mobile phone's keypad, the sneakers feature a "hellomoto" badge on the side and Moto Batwing subtly on the heel patch. Manufactured for a new generation in the streetwear world, a futuristic color scheme in Puma Silver - Sodalite Blue was created. The collection continues this theme with seasonal clothing such as T-shirts, track-tops and shorts, featuring Motorola shades from the 1980s and playful graphics representing various milestones in the evolution of communication - from pagers to brick phones, followed by QWERTY keypad phones."

We are delighted to be working with a brand that is equally committed to promoting innovation and culture," says Adam Petrick, Puma Global Director Brand & Marketing. "Together with Motorola, we take the sneaker world to the next level with a brand new iteration of the 80's RS style, redesigned with technically inspired details."
