The RS 9.8 is inspired by new frontiers and galaxies, by individuals defying societal rules and the laws of physics. The name RS 9.8 speaks to 9.8 m s2, which is the approximate speed of gravitational acceleration near the Earth's surface. This future-retro design pulls together elements from various models in the RS Family including super comfy sock liners and RS foam and reinvents the midsole to create space-inspired spheres. This pack brings a fresh look to the shoe playing with PUMA branding on the tongue.
