Foot Locker has today introduced the latest installment of its "POP by Foot Locker" collaborations, which comes in the shape of a PUMA GV Special inspired by "The Walking Dead."
Inspired by the hit AMC show and designed by sneaker customizer Alexander-John, the collaboration specifically serves as a nod to the storyline of the mysterious Whisperers from season nine of "The Walking Dead."

The design elements of the customized PUMA GV Special (priced at $200) serve as a nod to "The Walking Dead" in subtle ways that only true fans can appreciate.
Each pair features hand-painted dirt patterns and custom leather detailing on both the tongue and the heel of the shoe. Additionally, The Whisperers' leader, Alpha, is stamped on the insoles of the PUMA GV Special, capping off the collab.

“When I got the call about the project I knew the storyline of the Whisperers was going to play a very important role in how I brought this shoe to life. I love the simplicity of the concept and how the Whisperers hide in plain sight,” said Alexander-John. “I’ve done many product collaborations with Foot Locker over the years and this one is right up there with my all-time favorites. I hope these PUMA shoes take the show’s fans even deeper into the world of The Walking Dead.”
“What a cool thing, to partner with Foot Locker and PUMA and give some lucky fans of The Walking Dead yet another way to celebrate their love of the show,” said Theresa Beyer, senior vice president of promotion, activations and partnerships for AMC Networks. “The Whisperers have been such an exciting new element of the show this season, to see them immortalized through this limited-edition shoe is something our passionate fans will love.”
The special-edition collection will be sold exclusively at Foot Locker – online, in Foot Locker’s Times Square POP shop and in select PUMA Labs – beginning on March 25, just a few days before the season finale airs on Sunday, March 31.
