The French brand Courir has an important point in common with Pac-Man. The pop culture icon took his first steps in 1980 in Tokyo. The brand, which is a reference in the world of sneakers, and the famous character celebrate their 40th anniversary. On this occasion, Bandai and Courir reinterpret the Ralph Samspon. 

Pac-Man a video game legend

Did you know? Pac-Man was expected to attract new audiences to arcades. Toru Iwatani's "baby" has seduced everyone. His influence has been felt through several generations. Along with Sonic and Mario, Pac-Man is one of the most famous video games in the world.

Running: A legendary association

Bandai Namco and Courir join forces to bring Ralph Samspon up to date. Sébastien Abdelhamid, an influential figure in the world of journalism and video games, plays an important role in this collaboration. All of Pac-Man's distinctive traits are visible on this sneaker. For example, the blue seams are a reference to the game. The design of the shoe is elaborate so that it can be playful.

The number 1 appeal of this product is the fact that it is customizable. The Velcro present will allow you to explore your creativity at best. You will be able to place BLINKY, PINKY, INKY and CLYDE (the 4 ghosts) and Pac-Man according to your convenience. If you are discreet by nature, you can choose between black, blue or yellow Velcro side stripes. The last touch of originality is the fact that the Puma and Pac-man 40 years logos can be positioned on the front tab.

 

Everything seems to be thought out so that these sneakers can be a hit with fans. The Puma brand competes in ingenuity to launch creative products. We remember one of their last initiatives, Unity Collection.
