Last week saw the re-launch of the Puma RS-0 design, which looks back to the original sports roots to inspire a sportstyle collection for 2018. The original RS collection was formed around a high quality- innovate cushioning technology back in the 80s. This silhouette has been stripped down to the basics and rebuilt to accommodate a modern aesthetic starting at 0. The 0 sees a starting pint for Puma’s new RS-0 franchise which celebrates unique movements in culture.
