Dutch sensation Xavi Simons has unveiled a stunning sneaker collaboration with his outfitter PUMA. Here's a look!
The story
In July 2023, the Netherlands star signed a long-term partnership with PUMA, becoming the brand's new face of the PUMA KING football boot.

Since then, Simons' status as a footballer has only grown and he is now one of the most sought-after young players on the planet after impressing for his side RB Leipzig over the last season.
His relationship with his brand partner PUMA has also blossomed, as he now has his own version of the 2024 PUMA Inhale, which boasts a wider fit and a softer midsole for enhanced comfort and wearability.
The shoe is unmistakably eye-catching due to it's performance-driven design, comprising bold lines, contours, and curves.
The German sports apparel manufacturer also confirmed that shoe's silhouette is inspired by human biology.
"In 2023, the Inhale also became a favourite of PUMA collaborator A$AP Rocky, who selected the silhouette as the footwear focus of his inaugural collection, leading to a quick sellout and widespread fan popularity," PUMA said in a statement.
"Matching the unmistakably youth-driven energy of the Inhale, Dutch star Xavi Simons styles the striking sneaker in its debut black-and-red colour scheme."
Simon's PUMA Inhale will be available in South Afrom from 24 November 2024, at PUMA.com, PUMA Retail stores, Sportscene, Archive, Shesha, Side Step, Sneaker District, Office London, and Superbalist.
