A lift from Ferrari and Puma
These Puma Ferrari Lift Racer shoes come in the traditional motorsports colours of Rosso Corsa and white. The midsole is constructed by utilising a two-colour EVA injection process, which apparently gives the shoes a lighter weight. The synthetic micro suede trim detail on the oval mesh on the top is for maximum ventilation. The Prancing Horse logo is on the side. Available from f1-ferrari-shop.com for Dh330.
