How To Rock Your Puma Future Rider Shoes

Puma is back with a bang with the legendary FAST RIDER design reappearing with a new edge ‒ The Future Riders.

The vibrant running shoe is here making a colourful splash on the streets, and people are rocking them in different ways on different days. This style is infamous for its retro aesthetic, and now we can see Puma merging iconic '80s vibes with futuristic elements. This style inspires playful, funky qualities, and we are here for it!

Think colour blocking on a new level. This ultra-cool design is available in many options, from porcelain black and balsam green to dark slate and a youthful black blue. The team focuses on a pared-down performance, featuring airy nylon, retro suede and leather elements.

So, what are some styling angles that you can take with this new, groovy drop? Here are a few essential styling tips for your Puma Future Rider sneakers.

The Complete Denim Look

A complete denim look can be ultra-cool, reminiscent of the denim on denim craze that emerged in the '60s. Because denim on denim portrays a total retro-chic vibe, the Future Rider shoes mesh perfectly into this look.

Ensuring that your pieces of denim complement each other with no clashing washes, this aesthetic offers a perfect neutral backdrop for the vibrant Puma sneaker. To harness the true essence of the '80s, we see a rolled jeans hem with a visible sock ‒ white or brightly coloured ‒ paired with a structured denim jacket and tied together with an airy cotton tee that matches your sock colour of choice.

Pair Puma Future Riders With Your Favourite Tracksuit

The rise of athleisure saw its peak in the late 2010s, and it's been around ever since.

With this effortless look, a pop of colour from your iconic Puma stylishly ties it together to become the perfect ensemble while still keeping your look casual. A neutral-coloured tracksuit elevates the Puma to a new level of sporty meets stylish. Alternatively, opt for a brightly coloured sweatsuit that takes inspiration from one or several colours found on your sneakers.

Funk Up Your All-Black Look

With a shoe this funky, it's no surprise that it works with any all-black look. Think perfectly cropped straight-leg jeans, your favourite black tank top or t-shirt, a white tube sock and your Pumas to tie it all fashionably together.

Alternatively, a black dress, mini or midi with a white tube sock, and your colour pop Puma could perfectly bridge the gap between heaps of fun and demanding respect wherever you go. For a more masculine approach, opt for a black chino paired with a white or black t-shirt or collared shirt, a tailored black jacket and your Puma. This look is classy and current while breathing effortless street-style energy.

Mix n Match With Fun & Funky Combinations

For those who aren't afraid to go wild mixing prints and colours, there has never been a better opportunity to play than with the forever-cool Future Rider.

Think checkerboard, animal print, graphic tees, and bright colours reminiscent of the '80s. With this aesthetic, the rules genuinely do fall away. However, to tie in the sneaker, we recommend using it as a guide towards which hue spectrum to run with for the rest of the outfit.

For example, with neon splashes, choosing a top with neon piping or a graphic tee with a neon element could work well. The rest is yours to run wild with, so experiment and have fun!
