The PUMA RS-X3 'Golden Rod' is made in collaboration with Sega, the video-game brand whose Sonic the Hedgehog franchise serves as the sneaker’s design inspiration. Unique details include gold ring graphics at the heel, high-score text on the midsole and PUMA x SONIC RS-X branding on the metallic gold tongue tag. The rest of the upper uses a blue textile base, covered in a transparent synthetic film with white leather and blue suede overlays.
