One Pieceis enjoying the fame it has earned over the past two decades as global brands and companies are now recognizing the series. Recently, Puma announced a collaboration with theOne Piecefranchise and released its suede collection that follows theOne Piecetheme.
Puma and the anime seriesOne Piecehave joined hands to create a range of footwear that are modeled after the series characters. PUMA is rekindling its collaboration withOne Pieceby releasing its Suede sneaker in four distinct character-themed styles, all of which the brand has already previewed.
Blackbeard, Shanks, Luffy, and Buggy each have their own special colorway of the Suede. The company first dabbled in the anime and manga genre in 2019 by releasing a line of sneakers that paid homage to the show’s themes and characters. And while the previous collection got a great response, the latest one might not be liked by the fans so much.
