“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. The design incorporates intricate details, including two heads on the back of the shoes, representing the iconic characters, and mismatched colors that signify the duality of their nature. The furry tongue, reminiscent of a Mogwai, adds a playful touch, capturing the essence of the film.

The shoes boast a distinctive label on the tongue, ensuring authenticity and style. The bottom of the shoes is adorned with scratch marks, a nod to the mischievous Gremlins, adding an element of intrigue to the design.
