Sonic the Hedgehog's new look when Paramount Pictures released an awesome, new trailer for their upcoming live-action film on Tuesday. Keen-eyed fans quickly noticed the the titular speedster was sporting some PUMA shoes — the footwear brand's official logo featured on the tongue.
This kicked off speculation that PUMA would bring out an official pair of
