Summary
- Puma has teamed up with Netflix to create a Squid Game collection that revolves around three new sneaker designs.
- Puma’s Suede, Palermo, and Easy Rider designs have been given Squid Game makeovers.
- Everything in the collection is available now to celebrate the arrival of Squid Game season two.
More than three years on from its hugely successful first season, Netflix has given us more Squid Game. Season two is available to watch in its seven-episode entirely right now but don’t worry, you’ll find no spoilers here since I’ve not watched it yet. All I’m here to tell you about is the Squid Game x Puma crossover collection which is available now to celebrate the arrival of season two.
Since sneakers are likely what you think of when you think of Puma, it’s footwear that’s at the center of this new Squid Game crossover. Three different designs each celebrating a different element of the show. My guess is the most popular will be the Squid Game take on Puma’s Easy Rider sneaker design since that’s the one that has been made to look like footwear a Squid Game contestant might be given to wear.

The sneakers are largely green, the same shade as the infamous Squid Game tracksuits, with the show’s logo on the tongue and a Young Hee charm hanging from them. The Young Hee theme continues on the inside of the shoe’s design with hat tips to the Red Light, Green Light game the doll oversees in season one.

The other two sneaker designs are a little more subtle but still feature elements from Squid Game throughout. The Suede sneakers have a pink, blue, and cream color scheme which is supposed to represent the maze of colorful staircases the players have to use to get to and from certain games. The same Squid Game x Puma logo featured on the Easy Rider sneakers is also included on the Suede design’s tongue, just in pink.
Squid Game x Puma Sneakers
Puma has teamed up with Netflix to create a Squid Game collection just in time for the release of season two, At the center of the collection are three pairs of Squid Game-themed sneakers. All three designs are based on different elements from the show, and all of them are available now.
The final design is a Squid Game take on Puma’s Palermos. A white and orange design with different insole options, and while it’s the most subtle design of the three, it has what is, in my opinion, the best detail. On the side of each sneaker is a little window that, when opened, reveals Squid Game guards and contestants hiding inside.
The Suede Squid Game x Puma sneakers are $90 while the other two designs are $100 each. There is a lot more in the collection if you’d like to spend less though including tracksuits based on the ones contestants wear in the show and a $40 Squid Game t-shirt that’s available in various colors.
In Squid Game, a mysterious invitation to join a competition is sent to people at risk who are in dire need of money. Four hundred fifty-six participants from all walks of life are locked into a secret location where they play games to win 45.6 billion won. Games are selected from traditional Korean children’s games, such as Red Light and Green Light, but the consequence of losing is death. To survive, competitors must choose their alliances carefully – but the further they go in the competition, the more likely betrayal will rear its ugly head.
