“Gremlins” is a renowned American comedy horror film released in 1984, (aka “the best decade”), and was directed by Joe Dante and produced by Steven Spielberg. This iconic movie blends horror with a whimsical sense of humor. The story revolves around a young man named Billy, who receives a mysterious and adorable creature called a Mogwai as a pet, named Gizmo. The film takes a darker turn when Billy inadvertently breaks the three important rules of caring for a Mogwai which leads to the creation of mischievous and malevolent creatures known as Gremlins, who wreak havoc on a small town.
So what happens when the Mogwai and Puma collide? Well you get a pretty dope pair of kicks, THAT’S what happens. Here is what Puma had to say about this collab.
Introducing the PUMA x Gremlins Hoops Capsule Collection – a fusion of iconic style and 80s nostalgia. This exclusive collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products brings fans a unique blend of fashion and film, featuring Gizmo and Gremlin leader Stripe from the Warner Bros. classic 1984 movie.
The mismatched shoe pair is a visual masterpiece, showcasing Gizmo on one and Stripe on the other, symbolizing the eternal battle between good and evil.
