Puma collaborated with the hit ’90s MTV series “Beavis and Butt-Head” to create a pair of sneakers inspired by the TV show. The sneakers, running for $90, will be released on Foot Locker’s website on Dec. 1.
The gray suede sneakers feature the show’s title, “Beavis and Butt-Head.” A light blue stripe runs from the heel of the sneaker to the sole, a hallmark of the classic Puma stripe. The streak accents the yellow and red patch featuring the show’s title found on the side of the shoe. Inscribed in the gray suede sneakers is the phrase “I am the great cornholio,” a reference to an iconic scene in the show.
The sneakers also sport a detail recognizable to the show: a shoelace keychain made to resemble a roll of toilet paper. Completing the muted tone of the shoes are the black shoelaces, tongue and inside fabric. The heel and tongue of the shoe feature a blue and yellow image.
The sitcom ran for eight seasons and has collaborated with sneaker companies in the past; the athletic apparel company Adidas partnered with the TV show in 2018 to release a pair of sneakers, “Beavis and Butt-Head” x Adidas Skateboarding. At the time, the two companies also partnered to release a matching apparel collection alongside the sneaker drop.
In 2013, the TV show partnered with Nike to release two pairs of sneakers inspired by the main characters and the namesakes of the show. One pair, a blue and gray mid-Nike SB Dunk, resembled the character Beavis, and the other was a pair of low Nike SB Dunks in the colorway red, yellow and black inspired by the Butt-head.
For fans of the show or sneakerheads looking to acquire a pair of Puma shoes, only one pair of sneakers will be available to purchase per person.
