PUMA is celebrating Ghostbusters’ 40th anniversary with two Suede XL colorways inspired by iconic franchise villains.

Ghostbusters Celebrates 40th Anniversary with PUMA Collaboration, Featuring Suede XL Sneakers Inspired by Stay-Puft and Slimer

It’s hard to believe, but 40 years have passed since Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler launched their ghost-hunting business in New York City. Born out of Dan Aykroyd’s fascination with the paranormal, Ghostbusters remains as iconic as ever, with its characters and villains instantly recognizable even four decades later. According to Sneaker News, Ghostbusters has teamed up with PUMA to celebrate this milestone with a unique collaborative collection. The centerpiece is two Suede XL colorways inspired by some of the franchise’s most famous foes: the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and Slimer.

The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man-inspired Suede XL perfectly matches the ghostly giant. The shoe’s puffed-up tongue, thick laces, and wide construction echo Stay-Puft’s iconic look. Key details include a banner along the lateral quarter, inspired by Stay-Puft’s red hat, and a bulging blue Formstrip beneath it. The heel is adorned with a marshmallow-like structure, replacing traditional branding, while a Stay-Puft graphic can be found on the semi-translucent outsole.

Meanwhile, Slimer, the mischievous spirit from the Sedgewick Hotel, gets his own Suede XL treatment with an all-green suede upper. The design plays with two shades of green across the base and Formstrips, and the outsole features a playful hot dog graphic, referencing Slimer’s love for street food throughout the Ghostbusters franchise. Both pairs come with co-branded Ghostbusters x PUMA logos on the tongue and insoles.

The Ghostbusters x PUMA collection includes two graphic tees and will be available online at PUMA starting October 1st. On October 3rd, it will also be available in PUMA’s NYC flagship store and select retailers.

PUMA and A$AP Rocky Revive the Iconic Mostro with Futuristic 3D-Printed Design, Launching September 26

In other PUMA news, the brand’s collaboration with A$AP Rocky has taken a sudden leap forward. Following the announcement of Rocky’s latest Inhale collection, PUMA has revealed another addition to the capsule: the revival of the PUMA Mostro with futuristic 3D-printed construction.

The Mostro’s original design remains intact, but 3D printing gives it a seamless, one-piece structure adorned with hexagonal perforations. The shoe’s defining spiky outsole design spreads across the entire surface, including jagged protrusions around the forefoot. Despite its seemingly rigid construction, this model is a slip-on, blending high fashion with advanced manufacturing techniques.

A$AP Rocky’s contribution includes two striking colorways: a black and red pair featuring a gradient spray-paint effect reminiscent of his Inhale collaboration and a neon green and black version. An airbrushed dollar sign print on the shoebox complements both designs.

The PUMA x A$AP Rocky Monstro 3D will be available on September 26th and retail for $250. Look in the “Where To Buy” sections for direct shopping links to snag your favorite pair.
