Puma and K-Swiss have released esports shoes, or how they call them „gaming socks“.

This doesn’t come as a surprise as sports brands have been raiding the esports industry in the past couple of months. Adidas signed Ninja, Nike launched esports jerseys, and now Puma and K-Swiss released esports shoes, or as they call them „active gaming footwear“ or „gaming socks“.

We recently wrote about hoe brands that engage with esports do better and it seems sports brands caught on.

We don’t exactly understand how gaming shoes are going to help gamers become better at the game they love. Meanwhile, Puma said that they are designed for indoor and in-arena use.

“Seamless comfort, support, and grip so gamers can adapt to different active gaming modes and game their best.” Puma

What is the price of Esports Shoes?

The price of Esports Shoes is £80.00 (Price incl. 20% VAT). At least that is the price on the European PUMA UK store.

The “Active Gaming Footwear” is a part of PUMA’s Innovation Landmarks. They created a number of smart shoes and a Playseat that launched in 2019.

Gaming socks do sound a bit eyebrow-raising, but it’s a good example of how sports brands want to get into the esports industry and find out what exactly the gamer wants.

The socks are available in shops in the UK and Australia.
