Full breakdown
The PUMA Beisser — German for "biter" — was originally designed by Peter Schmidt and released in 2005 in a limited run of 500 pairs. It features a mesh and suede upper with a climbing shoe-like fit, and a distinctive sole unit with prominent tooth-like lugs inspired by a wild cat's bite. The shoe has been periodically re-released through select boutiques, positioned as an experimental design piece within PUMA's archive.
Questions answered
FAQ
What makes the PUMA Beisser special?
The Beisser was designed by Peter Schmidt, also behind the iconic PUMA Mostro. Its defining feature is the aggressive tooth-shaped outsole lugs that give the shoe a predatory, animalistic character. Originally limited to 500 pairs in 2005, it became a sought-after collector item that PUMA periodically revives.
Is the Beisser comfortable?
The mesh and suede upper is comfortable and breathable, with adequate midsole cushioning. The climbing shoe-inspired fit is snug but not restrictive. For casual daily wear it performs well, though it is not designed for athletic use despite its aggressive sole design.
How does the Beisser fit?
It has a snug, body-hugging fit inspired by climbing shoes. Most buyers find their regular PUMA size works, but the close fit means those between sizes should go up. The wide mesh areas provide some stretch and breathability.
Where can you buy the PUMA Beisser?
Only through select boutiques and limited drops. Retailers like END, SEVENSTORE, and HBX have carried recent releases. It is not available through mainstream PUMA retail channels, making it harder to find than standard PUMA models.
