While Puma did not officially announce the extent of this upcoming collection or what it entails, some images of sneakers and a hoodie have popped up on the fashion fan website, sneakerfreaker.com.
Of course, these images have not been officially confirmed by Puma themselves, so we can't say for sure that this is what will be sold on the market. No release date has been announced for the clothing collection, but we'll be sure to keep you updated as soon as more information is released.
