Of course, Puma x One Piece is releasing a pair of shoes based on Monkey D. Luffy given how prolific the protagonist has become. His suede shoes are red with blue highlights, and each pair of kicks come with an embossed tongue. As for the other shoes, they pay homage to Blackbeard and Whiteboard as well as the Red Hair Pirates. So if you want to show your love to Shanks, these shoes have you covered!
Currently, no price has been set for these Puma kicks, and the same goes for its launch date. The shoe brand is also one of several to tackle One Piece as of late. Vans put a collection forward not that long ago, and Skechers approached the franchise a few years back. Even Puma has teamed up with One Piece before in honor of One Piece Film: Gold, and now the brand is back at it again.

“As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer “Red-Haired” Shanks. But Luffy’s life changed when he accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure…one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary “One Piece,” said to be the greatest treasure in the world…”
