Puma goes to Tokyo. The sportswear brand owned by the luxury group **Kering *presents the first collection created in partnership with A Bathing Ape, one of the world’s most famous streetwear brands. Founded in 1993 in Japan, BAPE has been setting trends for over twenty years, from Tokyo to NYC, and the first collaboration with Puma is a statement *that aims to celebrate the heart and soul of streetwear: sport. The collection design is mainly inspired by the world of football, hence why Mario Balotelli has been chosen as the testimonial, featuring a selection of clothing and sneakers made unique by the iconic camouflage print, to create a complete outfit dedicated to all lovers of the world’s most famous sport, who can become part of the FC BAPE Club.

Among the must-have items of the Puma x BAPE AI 2015/16 collection, available in Italy starting from Saturday, December 12th, exclusively at Slam Jam in Milan, Sneakers 76 in Taranto and Back Door in Bologna, stand out the iconic footwear models Disc Blaze x BAPE *and the R698 x BAPE, the Nineties running sneaker with Trinomic technology.
