CORDUROY, NOSTALGIA, AND VINTAGE INSPIRATION: NEW COLLECTION FROM BUTTER GOODS AND PUMA

Global sports brand PUMA and Australian skate label Butter Goods will release a full collection of footwear and apparel after announcing their partnership earlier this summer. Taking inspiration from sports advertising in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, the collection is steeped in nostalgia

The PUMA x BUTTER GOODS collection is all about an appreciation for vintage sports marketing. It harks back to the heyday of sporting clubs, vintage tennis teams, and bold ‘90s skateboard merch in a way that feels fresh and contemporary today. The collection embraces a cultural moment where across professional sportswear, vibrancy, personality and authenticity won out over clinical minimalism. Campaign images play on this theme and feature a '90s-inspired teen skateboarder’s bedroom filled with kitschy items that bring about a sense of nostalgia and feel for the era.

The design direction is heavily influenced by the era in which Butter Goods’ founders grew up skating in, full of bold colors, baggy cuts and technical fabrics and finishes. The designs take influence from the past but reinterpret them in a contemporary streetstyle approach. Mixed with PUMA’s sport heritage and classic silhouettes, the collection combines premium materials and bold prints presented in a ‘90s inspired, multi-colored palette.

“When the opportunity to work with PUMA came about, we were so excited to work with a brand with such a rich history and deep archives,” say Butter Goods’ founders. “The most exciting thing about the design process is the discovery both for us as the people designing but also in the finished product for customer.”

Classic PUMA footwear styles are included in the collection, with the Slipstream, one of PUMA’s most iconic basketball silhouettes from the ‘80s, brought back in a leather upper with perforation detail. The sneaker comes in black and white options, with green nylon piping on the formstrip, a co-branded tongue, and suede detailing. Previously released in a cream colorway, the PUMA x BUTTER GOODS Basket VTG comes in two additional colorways with a unique corduroy upper, in blue and orange options.

 

The corduroy detailing continues across the apparel items in the collection, with a standout corduroy track top and pants, available in two colorways - an emerald green and cream style as well as a navy and

orange option. The extensive apparel line further includes items like high quality sweats, graphic tees, and polos adorned with retro designs.Founded in Perth, Australia in 2008, Butter Goods exists in a place where skateboarding and music collide and inspired by the different counter cultures that were born through those movements.The PUMA x Butter Goods collection drops on PUMA.com, PUMA stores and select retailers on September 4th 2021.

THE SPECIAL MEANING BEHIND NEYMAR JR.’S NEW LIFESTYLE COLLECTION WITH PUMA

PUMA has teamed up with Neymar Jr. for his first lifestyle collection, which celebrates his life’s journey from São Vicente to Paris. As a co-creator of the collection the pieces feature meaningful graphics inspired by his origins in Brazil.

PUMA’s first ever Neymar Jr. lifestyle collection features a range of footwear, including PUMA’s newest Wild Rider franchise, apparel pieces like hoodies, bombers, tees and cargo pants, plus a selection of accessories, beanies, caps and a backpack. Neymar Jr. was involved right from the start of the process; bringing ideas to meetings, sharing what he liked in terms of design, and even selecting materials.
 


“They really listened to me and understood what story I want to tell, since this is inspired by my past and who I am as a person, not as a football player,” says Neymar Jr. about working with the PUMA team. “We exchanged ideas about design and the details we integrated into the collection. I was well involved, and they really understood what I wanted to share.”
 

The most important thing to Neymar Jr. when going through the process was designing with comfort in mind, something that can be worn every day. While product designs are minimalistic, heavy fabric and premium details elevate the pieces.

“Neymar Jr. really wanted to make something that he would love to wear, so he wanted to do something for himself but also for his fans,” says PUMA Creative Director Heiko Desens. “That is why it's quite a toned-down look, so it's really attracting a cool crowd of people, which was our aim for this collection.”

 

The lifestyle collection tells Neymar Jr.’s history through its graphics, the coordinates are from São Vicente, his hometown in Brazil. The word “Blessed” which he has tattooed on his back serves as a centerpiece for the collection, using the word throughout the items feels special to him, as it's a word that describes gratitude and how he feels about his life and career. The designs even include one of his favourite phrases that really speaks to his own life mantra, “It's not always all about being the best or the greatest but instead, to inspire future generations.”.

 

The PUMA x Neymar Jr. collection comes in a muted color palette of black and light grey with yellow accents which will drop on PUMA.com, PUMA stores and select retailers on September 30th. The PUMA x Neymar Jr. Wild Rider’s will be available globally in late November.

THE PLANET UTOPIA COLLECTION IN COLLABORATION WITH PUMA, SOCCERBIBLE AND ACID FC

Sports company PUMA has today unveiled a special collaboration between Soccerbible and ACID FC with the launch of the Planet Utopia collection. The three parties have teamed up to release a three-piece capsule to celebrate the unique perceptions of Utopia in football. The collection aims to break football norms and warp the traditional layout of football products, featuring a football jersey like no other and a fresh new take on the iconic PUMA T-7 tracksuit, modelled by PUMA and Norwich City athlete Todd Cantwell.

Utopia is for everyone. It is for everything. It is unique to you while accessible and open to the masses. After two years that have reshaped minds, FC Planet Utopia is a project of pure escapism. Something that started in print and now lives in physical reality.

Following the release of the Soccerbible Summer 21 magazine under the concept of ‘Utopia’, PUMA and Soccerbible teamed with ACID FC to create something tangible that brings together cultural influences from football, fashion, art, design and music to launch a collection based on creativity, free-thinking and accessibility.

The goal of the collection is to be understandable yet inspiring in the way it conveys the message ‘you do you’. An expression of being unapologetically unique and different. Football is for all, and everyone has their own concept of Utopia.

The collection combines the best of PUMA’s core football performance apparel married with innovative sport styles to create something new and progressive. Whilst football is a tribal game there is a universal understanding and appreciation when sport mixes with subcultures. Whether that’s music, art, fashion or design, when the locality of football is taken out of the equation everyone is invited to fall in love with a club. That is the continued philosophy behind FC Planet Utopia. It is a football club with no fixed abode. It is wherever you want it to be, it is wherever you imagine it to live, and it is wherever you want to take it.

The Planet Utopia football jersey features a custom multicolored psychedelic graphic with a dark navy round collar. The eye-catching design displays the PUMA, Soccerbible and ACID FC logos on the front and arms of the jersey and places the FC Planet Utopia logo in the position of the club crest. The jersey also implements a bespoke Planet Utopia ‘21’ number on the front and back in honor of the club’s founding year.

The iconic PUMA T-7 tracksuit exhibits colorful psychedelic Planet Utopia form-strip graphics working in perfect harmony with the black base color. The jacket and pants feature the PUMA and Soccerbible logos with the ACID FC logo in place of the club crest. Displayed on the back of the jacket is the Planet Utopia logo with the number ‘21’ positioned on the front of the jacket and pants.

Join the movement with the Planet Utopia Collection featuring the Planet Utopia football jersey and the Planet Utopia T-7 tracksuit, available from November 9th at PUMA.com (only available in Europe & UK) and ProDirectSoccer.com.

‘FLUTUR’: THE NEW CAPSULE BY PUMA AND DUA LIPA IS COMING SOON

PUMA and global pop superstar, Dua Lipa continue to thrill fans, announcing their first product collaboration – a limited-release capsule called “Flutur”. Dropping on Saturday, December 18th, this 90’s inspired, four-piece capsule of both apparel and footwear is a tease of what’s to come in 2022, when a full collection is released.

The collaboration features a new logo that is symbolic of the partnership, bringing together Dua’s name and the PUMA formstrip which transforms into an iridescent butterfly.

 

“For me butterflies are more than just beautiful creatures, they represent so much, like transformation, hope, and metamorphisis, over this past year the butterfly has become especially symbolic and meaningful to me” said Lipa. “The name of the capsule, ‘Flutur’, is the Albanian word for butterfly. I chose it to pay homage to my heritage while also celebrating this new beginning with PUMA.”

 

The iridescent logo is the centerpiece of the capsule, predominantly featured on the easy-to-wear silhouettes including black and white baby tees, as well as a black oversized hoodie. The highlight of the PUMA x Dua Lipa “Flutur” capsule is the Mayze, one of her favorite shoes from the brand. The triple-black leather Mayze Flutur has a stacked midsole, zig-zag stitching on the formstip, Dua Lipa’s signature logo on both the tongue and the insole, in addition to two lace options.

“It was important for Dua to release staple pieces that would complement any wardrobe. She knew what she wanted and brought those ideas to the table," says Maria Jose Valdes, General Manager of PUMA’s Sportstyle Business Unit. "This capsule is just a tease to what’s to come next year, we’ve been working around the clock with Dua to bring to life all of her ideas. It has been a pleasure to work with her, she truly is a style icon.”

 

The campaign was captured by German photographer Daniel Sannwald, who in the past has worked with some of the most important and influencial musicians, including Lipa. His creative genius transports us to this psychedelic fairy tale where we see Dua’s metamorphosis from the chrysalis emerging into a butterfly, from darkness to technicolor. She was shot against a black and white backdrop, with colorful lighting and visual effects that helped create this magical transformation, a true reflection of the product design and inspiration.
