The racing cars are all about power and thundering sound. Of course, no car can conquer the road without powerful tires. Pirelli, the world’s leading tire producer, has taken a step out of its realm to produce a revolutionary motorsport inspired shoe in partnership with PUMA, one of the world’s top Sports Brands.
Named Replicat-X, it merges Pirelli’s CINTURATO Blue tire, used in the highest level of racing with Puma’s motorsport legacy, so you can experience the enthusiasm of the race track at your feet.
With a tagline of ‘fast as a bullet, aerodynamic as a racing car’, the manufacturers did everything to stay true to their statement. The motorsport inspired shoe has an “oversized” full rubber outsole and a relaxing molded sock-liner. Pirelli has used exclusive CINTURATO Blue tread pattern on the sole to give it better traction at wet surfaces. They do the same for tires to get the greatest traction at wet races. The upper part of the shoe boasts a pricked Microfiber-suede on the vamp and adjacent mesh panels for breathability.
Bringing the track to the street, the Replicat-X will be available at Puma.com from May 15.
