Though APL is best known for its performance footwear (think running shoes and training shoes), the new sneakers are part of the brand’s sport-inspired lifestyle footwear. APL is also the official footwear partner for Red Bull Oracle Racing.

Fans of Pérez can buy the exact pair of APL sneakers he sported, but sizes are selling out fast which means you won’t want to wait too long before adding the pair to your cart. Keep reading to shop the casual sneakers below.
Men’s Nostalgia ’87 Sneakers
The APL sneakers come with a $430 price tag, but it’s instantly clear why, as the design comes with a handcrafted upper made from full-grain leather for a more designer touch. Inside, the shoe offers the popular APL Souffle Sockliner to swaddle your feet in total comfort. You can also choose from a selection of four neutral colorways including an all-ivory version, white and black, white and dark green and Pérez’s selection, mentioned above. It’s a more minimalist sneaker and one that instantly elevates the APL brand — and your personal style as well.
The shoes are available in men’s and women’s sizing. Since the sneakers also come in a neutral two-tone coloring, it’ll be easy to pair with your F1-inspired outfits as well as everyday looks including jeans and T-shirts.
And, if you want to keep expanding your Formula 1 merch with unique pieces you can proudly sport on and off the racetrack, brands including Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister have created exclusive collections featuring vintage-inspired graphic T-shirts and hoodies that’ll help complete your retro aesthetic.
Next up in Formula 1 races is Spain’s GP, which will see Pérez start with a three-grid penalty after he drove his car in unsafe conditions during the Canadian GP, according to ESPN. While Pérez may be entering the next stage of races with a penalty under his belt, if F1 Montrela proved anything it’s that he’ll most likely show up in style.

Puma recently announced a long-term partnership with A$AP Rocky, who will serve as creative director for the motorsport business category “with a focus on the intersection of the sport and streetwear,” according to a press release.
Puma announced its long-term partnership with F1 earlier this year, which makes the sportswear brand the exclusive licensee and trackside retailer at all races. As creative director of the partnership, Rocky will take on an incubator-style approach to begin creative exploration. For the rest of the year, he will impact the brand’s visuals and video content. His first campaign explores American car culture and its impact on streetwear and fashion. Later this year, he’ll drop an exclusive Puma x F1 apparel and accessories collection, serving as a sneak peek into a series of capsule collections next year in regards to high-visibility F1 races.
In 2024, Rocky will shift creative focus to several Grand Prix races beginning in Miami. He will curate activations at each race and serve as the creative director for all of the marketing efforts surrounding these collections, which he designed in partnership with the Puma and F1 teams.
By 2025, he’ll fully immerse himself into the holistic product creative designs for all of the Puma x F1 product, spanning from racewear to fanwear to fashion. He’ll continue participating in marketing in an ongoing effort to bring disruption to the category via innovative product design and marketing concepts.
“Working with brands as iconic as Puma, and as innovative as F1, has been truly inspiring,” Rocky said in a press statement. “When the world sees what we’re doing, I believe a shift will happen with how brands approach taking risks and working with diverse creatives.”
But the rapper is not the only one with business ties to Puma in his household. His partner Rihanna, with whom he shares two children, recently got back in her Puma bag as the shoe brand’s Fenty label creative director and unveiled her new “Avanti” sneaker design last month.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be working with A$AP Rocky,” said Maria Valdes, Puma’s chief product officer. “He’s incredibly talented, deeply thoughtful and invested in our brand. He will showcase his vision with elevated F1 race capsules globally, which attract new audiences and undoubtably disrupt the track. In the future, he will influence the broader Puma x F1 range and will continue to help push sport and culture forward.”
Adds Oliver Boden, head of licensing and gaming at F1: “This announcement marks an exciting milestone in our partnership with PUMA. A$AP Rocky’s creativity and commitment to innovation aligns perfectly with F1’s vision and development in apparel. We look forward to collaborating with him to design and curate the PUMA and F1 range and insert F1 into new cultural and lifestyle spaces.”
