Puma Straycat A$AP Rocky Black White

The Puma Straycat A$AP Rocky Black White with style code 408509-01 comes out of the partnership between Puma and A$AP Rocky, who has already produced several builds on this silhouette through his creative collective AWGE. The Straycat stems from Puma's motorsport line, which is why it carries a low, wide shape on a flat sole designed for feel on the pedal rather than for cushioning. That origin makes it one of the more outspoken silhouettes in the Puma range.

Colorway: Puma Black / Formula Red

The Puma Straycat A$AP Rocky Black White is built around a black upper alternating leather and synthetic panels, keeping the low, wide shape of the model clearly visible. Formula Red returns through the detailing and points straight at the silhouette's racing roots, while white accents mark out the transitions between panels. The Puma Formstrip runs across the sidewall in contrast, which makes the line of the shoe read longer. AWGE detailing is worked quietly into the branding. Underfoot is the thin, flat rubber sole that gives the 408509-01 its characteristic low stance, built around shape more than cushioning.

How does the Puma Straycat A$AP Rocky Black White fit?

The Straycat generally fits true to size but sits narrow and low around the foot because of its motorsport origins. There is little padding, so the shoe feels tighter than a regular lifestyle sneaker. If you have wider feet or a high instep, half a size up on the 408509-01 is the best advice.
