The Puma Ape King Mid 'Black' sneaker is a part of a collection that draws inspiration from Japanese monster movies, specifically paying homage to the iconic King Kong. Making its debut in March 2009, this sneaker showcases a plush suede upper with a striking contrast between the side stripe and vamp, both made from sleek leather. Adding a distinctive touch, torn-away seams expose vibrant red underlays, while eye motifs at the heel symbolize the power and spirit of the creature. To further showcase its connection to King Kong, the tongue of the sneaker displays the famous primate's stats.
