From a series paying homage to Japanese monster movies, the Puma Ape King Mid 'Black' sneaker embodies the greatest ape of all, King Kong. Released in March 2009, this sneaker features a fuzzy suede upper, while the side stripe and vamp contrast with a smoother, leather material. Torn-away seams across the upper reveal red underlays, and eyes at the heel suggest the strength and soul of the creature. King Kong's stats appear inside the tongue.
