Toei Animation and PUMA have joined forces for an eagerly awaited anime collaboration, PUMA x One Piece.
The new limited edition collection – which launches on 23 March – showcases the symbols, images and characters from One Piece, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
The line-up of products includes a four-pack of PUMA Suede trainers, along with a variety of essential apparel and accessories.
Inspired by the fan-favourite characters Monkey D. Luffy (Gear 5), Shanks, Buggy and Blackbeard, each Suede sneaker brings its own unique color combination and playful graphic elements. Every pair comes in a specially designed box featuring a full-wrap sea map graphic.
One Piece first debuted on Japanese TV in October 1999 and features pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew on their epic quest to find the ‘One Piece’, the legendary treasure of the former King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger.
The franchise encompasses 15 feature films (including the most recent movie One Piece Film Red), video games, home videos and a growing catalogue of licensed merchandise that includes accessories, toys, games, novelties, furniture, housewares and apparel among others.
