PUMA Serves Up Video Game Nostalgia With the RS-0 “Error” & “Restart”
With the recent appointment of Jay-Z as creative director of PUMA's newly minted basketball division, the brand has been making big moves in the sneaker industry. Now, PUMA once again merges the future with the nostalgic in the new RS-0 “Game Pack”.
The RS-0 “Game Pack” takes inspiration from the gaming world featuring iconic and recognizable elements any video game fanatic would immediately notice. Featuring two colorways, each representing hallmarks of the gaming world — the well-known “Error” and “Restart”.
The RS-0 “Error” gets its inspiration from old school arcade games and features a pixelated formstrip and coding graphics near the midsole for a true gaming-inspired feel. The RS-0 “Restart” is designed after the easily recognizable, pixelated screen you’d get when a video game would glitch out, usually requiring a hearty blow into the cartridge.
From iconic elements like glitch graphics and arcade coloring, every detail of the PUMA RS-0 “Game Pack” is the perfect representation of its gaming inspiration.
Both styles in the RS-0 “Game Pack” will retail for $120 with the “Error” dropping June 28, and the “Restart” dropping July 13 online at PUMA.com.
