When the new
Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer was released online, earlier this month, the PUMA sportswear brand took to social media to tease an official collaboration with the video game franchise. While it isn't quite what we expected; PUMA and
Sonic the Hedgehog have now officially announced that collaboration (via
Gamefragger).
The Puma x Sonic RS-X³ shoes are black and feature some embellishments that tie them to the
Sonic the Hedgehog brand. There's blue and red detailing as well as details in the shape of
Sonic the Hedgehog's head and his golden rings — as you can see below. They're available now via
PUMA's website and cost $120. They come in a plethora of sizes, both adult and child.
"Get ready to go for the gold," reads their official description.
"Gaming industry legend Sonic the Hedgehog partners with PUMA in a new collaboration that’s faster than ever. The RS-X³’s progressive silhouette is embellished with golden rings, checked detailing, motion graphics, and other iconic elements from the game. PUMA meets Sonic – who’s faster?"
Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination. The family-friendly film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog speeds into theatres on February 14th, 2020.
