The PUMA x LGN Mostro Sock represents a bold reimagining of PUMA’s iconic Mostro legacy, trading its classic strap closure for a sleek, ankle-high sock profile while retaining unmistakable Mostro DNA, including its aggressive, spiked rubber sole and bold, sport-inspired aesthetic. Released in September 2025, this evolution delivers both heritage and fresh innovation to fans of progressive street and performance footwear.

Form, Function, and Heritage

This newest iteration features several distinctive design elements:

  • Ankle-high sock silhouette: The high-cut textile upper ensures a close-to-the-ground, barefoot feel, eliminating traditional laces for a modern laceless fit that promotes comfort and rapid on-off access.

  • Signature Mostro outsole: Boasting the high-traction, spiked rubber sole that made the original Mostro a cult favorite, the outsole’s aggressive tread delivers reliable grip and adds a sculptural, “monster-inspired” visual texture, directly channeling the 1999 model’s roots in both running and football cleats.

  • Material and accessibility: The breathable upper construction and functional rear pull tab merge running and football influences with a nod to athlete accessibility, making the slip-on Mostro Sock particularly effortless to wear for para-athletes or anyone seeking top-flight functionality without compromising style.

Designed for Bold Self-Expression

Offered in versatile black and khaki colorways, each pair comes equipped for style-forward wear. The minimalist sock-like upper complements the futuristic tread, while the laceless design and rear pull tab ensure the sneakers slip on with ease.

PUMA’s new drop also preserves Mostro’s reputation for experimental details and street credibility, blending high-traction sports performance with contemporary, fashion-oriented minimalism.

Style, Accessibility, and Where to Buy

The PUMA x LGN Mostro Sock is available starting September 27, 2025, via louisgabrielnouchi.com and at select PUMA stockists, with exclusive early-edition visuals shared at @puma and @louisgabrielnouchi.

Why the Mostro Sock Matters

Drawing on PUMA’s tradition of blending athletics and fashion—originally inspired by both 1960s sprinting spikes and surf shoes of the 80s—the Mostro Sock exemplifies the brand’s commitment to innovation and accessible design. This edition’s laceless, high-cut profile invites everyone—including para-athletes and urban style seekers—to rediscover a classic in an entirely new form.
