White Castle Grill A New PUMA RS-X Collaboration

American burger chain White Castle have collaborated again with PUMA on the RS-X lifestyle model. Like their last effort, these co-branded kicks dip into the livery and motifs of the popular fast food destination that Harold and Kumar visited all those years ago.

The RS-X is PUMA’s answer to futuristic chunky sneakers and has been a mainstay of their lifestyle offering for a while now. It makes sense to use such a shoe as a base for a burger collar, because there’s plenty of fat to chew. Like other food-inspired sneakers, this take interprets the actual physical form of White Castle’s bite-sized (at least by American standards) sliders and puts it onto the uppers. In this case, the golden brown smooth finish of the slider buns are translated over to the RS-X, which then has white accents to represent the fluffy bread in between brown meat-shaped panels. There are other nods to the fast food restaurant, namely the logo boldly displayed on the large tongue logos of the model, which is also found on the white heel tabs.
