Red and off-white make this the most literal Ferrari pair in the line. Rosso Corsa is the racing red Italian teams have competed in since the early decades of international motorsport, and here it covers a Suede XL, the thicker-soled, more heavily padded version of the shape Puma introduced earlier the same year. Alpine Snow, a soft off-white, handles the sole and the contrast. It came out November 18, 2024 at 90 dollars within a group Puma called the Desert Sun pack.
Putting the team colour on the XL rather than the flat original is the choice that gives this pair its character. A bigger sole carries a saturated red better than a slim one, because there is more off-white underneath to balance it, and the extra volume reads as current rather than retro. Red nap is not a subtle purchase and makes no attempt to be. It also marks visibly, which is the cost of any strong dye on this material. With dark denim or black trousers it becomes the only thing anyone looks at, which is presumably the reason to buy a shoe in a racing team's colour.
