Details of this new collection have already been leaked through sites like Sneaker Freaker, showing the first look at a special edition Wild Rider, one of three shoes that will be part of a unique footwear line inspired by the Nintendo Switch title.

As you can see below, the shoes share the aesthetic of pastel colours from the game, featuring light blue and green tones. These will also come with subtle designs from some of the Animal Crossing villagers, coming in two different colour patterns.

To complement these, some clothing items in the collection have also been revealed, starting with a sweatshirt that will be loved by fans of the franchise, as it’s loaded with the faces of many characters from the game.

Last but not least, a pastel green t-shirt was also unveiled, covered by the iconic leaf from to the game's logo, bearing the Puma brand emblem all around it as well.

Unfortunately, details on the tentative pricing and release date of this new collab aren’t available yet but don’t worry, as we'll share you all as soon as these are released.
