The officially released promotional artwork for the Puma x One Piece sneakers showcases Monkey D. Luffy in his new Gear 5 form, soaring high into the night sky. The illustration captures the excitement and energy of the popular anime series, with Luffy depicted in a dynamic pose surrounded by the upcoming shoe collection inspired by One Piece.

The Puma x One Piece collaboration extends beyond sneakers to include hoodies, jackets, pants, and shorts, offering fans a range of stylish apparel to choose from. The shoes will come in a collective shoebox designed to resemble a pirate map of the Grand Line, adding to the thematic elements of the collection.

This isn't Puma's first collaboration with the Shonen Jump series; in 2019, they released the limited-edition One Piece & PUMA Unveil Opulent Gold & Silver-Toned Cell Venom shoes, inspired by the movie One Piece Film: Gold. The success of these collaborations demonstrates the enduring popularity of One Piece and its ability to inspire unique and fashionable merchandise.

Luffy's Gear 5 transformation remains one of the most iconic scenes in One Piece, and its inclusion in the Puma x One Piece promotional artwork highlights its significance to fans of the series. With the collection set to be available starting March 23 at select Puma stores and online worldwide, fans can look forward to adding these stylish and unique pieces to their wardrobe.

The release of Gear 5 Luffy in the One Piece anime marked a significant moment for fans, generating immense anticipation and excitement. The transformation was so highly anticipated that its release caused the streaming website Crunchyroll to crash, demonstrating the immense popularity of the series and the fervor surrounding Luffy's new power.

Recently, a preview of the English dub of the anime teased the epic confrontation between Gear 5 Luffy and Kaidou of the Beasts, further building anticipation for the upcoming episodes.

Fans can enjoy the One Piece anime on various streaming platforms, including Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix, making it easily accessible to viewers worldwide. Additionally, Netflix is producing a live-action TV adaptation of One Piece, which has been well-received and is currently in production for its second season. Furthermore, Netflix is collaborating with Wit Studio, known for their work on Attack on Titan, to produce a TV anime remake of One Piece, promising an exciting new interpretation of the beloved series.
