To celebrate the release of Speed Racer, the CGI-heavy big-screen adaptation by Larry and Andy Wachowski of The Matrix fame,  Puma, Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Productions teamed up to create some limited-edition kicks inspired by the film that is hyped to be the biggest blockbuster of the season.

The Puma Speed Racer shoe is modeled after Puma's Scattista model and features an environmentally-friendly method of construction that uses less waste while providing superior fit and comfort—the shoe's upper is sewn directly onto the sole. The sneak comes in two colorways, one in black, silver and yellow, and another in white and red. The shoes also feature super-reflective Puma and Speed Racer logos.

They won't make you drive any faster but feel free to blame your stylish footwear if you get pulled over and frisked for speeding.

The Puma Speed Racer Shoe will be available exclusively at Puma Concept Stores Nationwide beginning May 9th. The film opens in theaters nationwide on the same day.
