Shoe and video game crossovers appear to be a thing now. Following on from Nike's Nintendo 64 Air Max tribute, Puma has now launched its previously announced Tetris-themed shoe and apparel line.
The PUMA x TETRIS collection includes Puma's "future-retro" RS 9.8 and RS-X sneakers. Both come in daring colours and feature falling Tetriminos. Here's some extra info:
Reflective trimmings and a 3D heat-cut TETRIS® tongue logo add to the striking look of the RS-X. The phrase “HARD DROP” printed on the RS-X’s 3D heel is a nod to the command in the game, which makes the Tetriminos land instantly.
If kicks alone aren't enough, you'll also be able to pick up a track jacket, tee and track pants. The PUMA x TETRIS collection is now available worldwide on the Puma website, at Puma Stores and from select retailers.

Exceptionally fugly and underwhelming at the same time. Great job.
I can't stop laughing
A fitting way to walk around the block.
That's pretty poor implementation of Tetris. Just think of the design possibilities for the two brands to collide. Uninspired.
Tetris is about BLOCKS, configurations of squares, I know sneakers are required to be overdesigned but how do you take inspiration from BLOCKS and then come up with this curvy angular nonsense? There are so many ways this could have been done better, I agree with Kintypoo121.

You know they not gonna create a whole new silhouette for this. Usually when shoe company's collaborate, they use existing silhouettes.
Quick, someone make a joke about Nazis and Soviets finally working together.
wow so much tetris
Wow, if you hadn't of told me there was Tetris on there I would not have known.
What a load of crap
I like the subtlety, but it's maybe a tad too subtle.
The Nintendo x Vans collaboration was way more my speed
too subtle imo, it could of been way more blocky in the design.
Damn. I love both Puma and Tetris but the way they have been designed together is so ugly. I won’t be getting these.
These crossover designs are always so disappointing. They never really commit to their crossover partner, ending up with designs that have little to no relation to that franchise. The designers might know what attracts their usual customer base, but really have no idea how to connect with fans of their crossover partners.
At least these actually have actual Tetris stuff on them, but so small that you’d have to be kicking someone in the face with the back of your foot for them to notice.
"No, really. Look.. Here's a magnifying glass.."
YESSSS
BUUUUYYYY
HENK NEEDS MORE TEEEEEETTHHH
