One of my biggest trivial complaints in life is that there's a severe lack of fashionable gaming merch. Shapeless t-shirts with a design slapped on the front of them have their place, of course, but I've always longed for something a little more. Like Final Fantasy 14 fat cat sneakers, perhaps? Or even a fat cat hoodie? Well, an upcoming Puma collection(opens in new tab) is doing just that.
The sportswear brand is teaming up with the critically acclaimed MMORPG, putting its own panther-y spin on some classic motifs from across Eorzea. The collection's been made to honour the game's upcoming 10th anniversary—of its re-release, anyway—and has been aptly named A Wardrobe Reborn.(opens in new tab) There's a little bit of everything here—sneakers, sweatpants, hoodies, hats and more.
Most of the items have taken inspiration from either the Dalamud logo—the little fiery circle you see in a lot of Final Fantasy 14 branding—or the fat cat, an adorable chubby feline that's been everywhere in the game. There's a fat cat backpack, sneakers, and an amazing hoodie that has its cute little face plastered everywhere. Dalamud gets slapped on a nice crossbody bag, some sweatpants and a bucket hat. There are four pairs of sneakers inspired by the darkness and light themes prevalent across the game, too. I'm definitely not eyeing up both of those purple pairs.
