These sneakers will also be dropped for fans on November 7, 2024.

Below is what the official press release by PUMA had to mention about the latest PUMA x Xavi Simons collaboration:

"The tendril-like lines crawling across the shoe’s upper are inspired by human biology, which is further evoked through the shoe’s moniker, and raging red Formstrip like an artery delivering lifeblood to the shoe’s upper. Matching the unmistakably youth-driven energy of the Inhale, Dutch star Xavi Simons styles the striking sneaker in its debut black-and-red color scheme."
