According to some media reports, the newly launched pair of sneakers was priced at Rs. 5,599 and will be available in all PUMA stores.
Kohli, who is considered one of the best drummers of his time, is also seen as an inspiration to many.
His collaboration with the global footwear brand should bring him closer to his fans.
Virat Kohli had reached an eight-year approval deal with PUMA last year, estimated at Rs 110 crore.
By signing the deal, he became the first Indian athlete to sign a Rs 100million deal with a sportswear brand.
The deal saw him join sports legends Usain Bolt, Thierry Henry and Asafa Powell, as global brand ambassador.
