SUPERCHARGE YOUR GAME WITH THE NEW PUMA ULTRA

When it comes to football and speed, more is more, and too much is just right. Channel your inner speedster with the help of the ultra-lightweight ULTRAWEAVE upper, PWRPRINT support, and running spike inspired SPEEDPLATE. It’s official: ULTRA is Too Fast for Them.

The next generation ULTRA Supercharge edition turns seconds into records by fusing the ultra-lightweight woven upper with a redesigned soleplate tooling for an explosive turn of speed.

The gravity defying ULTRAWEAVE technology is PUMA’s lightest and most durable material and has been reinforced with the all-new PWRPRINT technology to provide ultimate stability and support, keeping your foot locked in for explosive straight-line speed.

The ULTRA has been engineered to change the game with explosive speed by giving you the edge that can be the difference between winning or losing. First or last. PUMA’s special ULTRAWEAVE brand technology has been enhanced with a TPU skin to provide incredible durability at minimum weight.

5-D PWRPRINT technology has been placed in key strategic areas of the boot. The cross-divisional innovation provides micro-level reinforcement for optimal lockdown and support, whilst maintaining all the boot’s lightweight properties. The ULTRA also features an all-new soleplate constructed from a dual-density SPEEDPLATE outsole for next-level traction. The result is a more explosive plate and a more reactive toe box that provides added propulsion and energy transfer when going from 0 to fast.

PUMA AND KOCHÉ DEBUT A COUTURE INSPIRED COLLABORATION CELEBRATING WOMEN IN SPORTS THROUGH A PERFORMANCE ORIENTED CAPSULE COLLECTION

Coming together for the first time this season, PUMA and Paris-based label KOCHÉ are celebrating women at the intersection of fashion and fitness with a collection that offers fresh take on empowered activewear and blurs the lines between performance and lifestyle.

Established by Central Saint Martins graduate Christelle Kocher in 2015, KOCHÉ has quickly become a mainstay in the fashion landscape. The brand is notorious for its unique DNA, based on traditional French know-how and craft, all of it updated through a distinctly modern take on fashion that fosters gender, body shape, social and geographical diversity.

For this collaboration, Christelle Kocher is leading the way, applying her couture knowledge to an activewear-oriented collection. “I am a fashion designer, but I am also a physically active woman. I started doing team sports at 8, competing in handball quite seriously until I was 18”, she says. “Ever since, barely a day passes without me doing some form of physical exercise. I run, box and do yoga. So working with PUMA on this project gave me a unique, challenging opportunity to bring together my fashion expertise and the kind of technical elements necessary to good performance wear.”

 

Daring and versatile, the collection’s design is inspired by timeless staples of feminine fashion, rendered exceptionally comfortable, lightweight and movement-friendly. Spanning 15 different styles, it focuses on body-shaping silhouettes made in recycled performance fabrics including polyester and polyamide, as well as organic cotton. A neo-futuristic palette combines sophisticated shades of black, burgundy, royal blue and cream with colour-shifting reflective treatments.

Elevated sports basics get a couture twist through construction and details: trousers and windbreaker jackets are completed with criss-crossed lacing elements. Tops mimic corsets through strategically placed stitching. Long-sleeve tulle tees bring a sense of delicateness to the silhouette. And leggings are decorated with an embossed lace-inspired motif. Accessories - including a spacious draped gym bag, a running waist bag and two different, classic-cut running shoes - complete the look.

 

“With the PUMA family, we designed these clothes both to help improve performance in exercise and to use as elevated basics mixed with ready-to-wear pieces”, says Christelle Kocher. “Ultimately, though, the collection’s goal is to support women in reclaiming their rightful place in the sports space, and to help motivate them stay active at a time when women are standing out as the movers and shakers in the active industries worldwide.”

 

The PUMA x KOCHÉ collection will be available in January 2023 at PUMA.com, KOCHE.com, PUMA stores and selected retailers worldwide.

PUMA Launches First Collaboration with Memphis Depay Clothing’s Blind and Deaf To The World Label

PUMA and Memphis Depay have today launched their first collection in partnership with Memphis’ BADTTW clothing label – the premium sublabel of Memphis Depay Clothing (MDC).

Not only has he been making waves on the pitch, but Memphis also takes his creative spirit and infuses his style into PUMA’s iconic T7 inspired t-shirts, jackets, and track pants. The collection is a fresh new take on classic styles featuring gender neutral colors.

The collection is a representation of Memphis’ love for fashion and passion for helping the next generation. The capsule utilizes blue wash and pristine color tones throughout the ultra-slick garments. PUMA’s jumping cat logo combines with Depay’s BADTTW wordmark with a bespoke graphic created by Memphis that is placed across the back of the t-shirt and jacket.

 

“I love to express myself and be creative with what I wear. I love that PUMA gives me the platform to be creative and let me do my thing, “said Memphis Depay. “They have given me creative freedom on the iconic T7 tracksuit, which to me is a real honor knowing so many legends have worn it. I love what PUMA brings to the pitch, but a special part of our relationship is being able to work on passion projects outside of football. The BADTTW logo connects with me on many levels: fingers in both ears when I score. Blind and deaf to the world. It strengthens my focus and makes me stronger. I want my brand to convey that. This is the start of numerous exciting projects I have planned with PUMA.”

 

The PUMA x BADTTW collection is available from December 21st at 9:00am CET at PUMA.com, PUMA stores and at specialist retailers worldwide.

BMW LGND: PUMA honours the legacy of BMW M Motorsport with a bold new footwear design

Global sports company PUMA together with BMW are celebrating the racing legacy of BMW M Motorsport through the release of a progressive all-new sneaker design.

Designated the BMW LGND; the new footwear piece draws inspiration from two icons of performance - the BMW M4 Series, and the world famous PUMA Speedcat line. The unique footwear concept retains BMW M Motorsport’s dynamic and intense edge which has seen the marque rule the track and the streets with its performance-focused products.

What’s more the all new BMW LGND incorporates many styling cues which are synonymous with the Bavarian marque, while also utilising the very latest in footwear development technology. In addition to chrome accents - inspired by M4 trim pieces - and adaptive reflective materials - inspired by the M4’s unique headlight system - and dynamic T-Toe shape - spread by the M4’s aggressive bonnet styling - the BMW LGND also features the world famous “Hofmeister Knick”.

 

Just like BMW’s kidney front grille, the Hofmeister Knick is a design signature calling-card for the manufacturer, and has been proudly featured on every model since the advent of the BMW Neue Klasse models in 1961. Named after its creator, Wilhelm Hofmeister, who led the BMW design department between 1955 and 1970, the feature is the bend at the C-Pillar, representing a turn in the window lines which separates the rear side windows from the rear glass.

 

The first drop of the BMW LGND is available now, featuring the exclusive BMW M Motorsport livery version of the new sneaker in the famous ‘M’ tricolour stripes. Make sure you secure your piece of PUMA and BMW M Motorsport history with the all new LGND; coming to selected PUMA stores and online at puma.com.

PUMA AND AMI PRESENT CHAPTER 2 OF THEIR COLLABORATION

Parisian house AMI joins PUMA once again in a collaboration that blends outdoors design elements and tailoring know-how, with a campaign fronted by singer-songwriter GIVĒON and model and activist Quannah Chasinghorse.

Inspired by thirst for freedom and exploring new horizons, the collection mixes PUMA’s sportswear heritage and AMI’s flair for tailoring, creating a well-rounded, wintery wardrobe. “I wanted this collection to be a perfect balance between our two worlds,” says Alexandre Mattiussi, Founder and Creative Director of AMI. “The goal was a playful, colourful collection, rich in volume and in extravagant details. It is a new chapter on the story we began developing during our last collaboration. We are now taking things further,” he adds.

“Together, we have been on a journey from wardrobe essentials to cosy, cocoon-like pieces you want to cuddle up with. This season, it is all about softness, oversized volumes, layering and draping with outdoors and hiking-inspired elements, which creates a certain sense of chic, but also a feel-good sensation,” says Heiko Desens, Global Creative Director for PUMA.

 

With a vibrant palette of bright orange, baby blue, bubble gum pink, moss green and purple offset by neutral beige, cream and brown tones, the collection - which spans 20 different styles across both men’s and womenswear - includes such AMI classics as carrot trousers, straight-line brushed coats, and timeless tees. As well as hoodies and sweatpants, functional fleece jackets with spacious patch pockets, and down jackets. The PUMA x AMI logo - AMI’s signature AMI de Coeur symbol merged with the PUMA stamp - is featured across a range of pieces in the collection.

 

Shoes remain timeless, with the Rider sneaker offering a knowing nod to 1970’s style. Accessories include a puffy backpack, a cross-body bag, bucket hats, and black-and-white striped beanies and a scarf in true AMI fashion.

“My style is intentional and perfectly curated - this collection feels like it came directly from my closet,” said GIVĒON. “I enjoyed this experience so much, I felt honored that PUMA and AMI chose me to be the face of the campaign, both are amazing brands that align with who I am.”

The global launch campaign was captured by David Paige against the unique landscapes of Pedernales Falls in Texas, featuring GIVĒON and Quannah Chasinghorse. “They both embody a new generation, one that is friendly, cool and carefree,” says Alexandre Mattiussi.

The new PUMA x AMI collection will be available exclusively in AMI stores and amiparis.com starting December 8th, and globally on December 10th on PUMA.com, PUMA stores, and selected retailers.

PUMA AND P.A.M. PARTNER TO DESIGN AN OUTDOORS-INSPIRED COLLECTION AND EXPLORE CREATIVITY THROUGH A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PROJECT.

P.A.M. and PUMA come together this season to create a collection blurring the lines between streetwear and outdoor clothing, within a larger, multifaceted project - the PAM/PUMA BIO/VERSE - aiming to reconnect with the concepts of nature and community.

Established in the year 2000 by Misha Hollenbach and Shauna Toohey, P.A.M. - short for Perks and Mini - is Melbourne-born and based, relocating to Paris 2015-2019. The brand has a multi-disciplinary approach blending fashion, graphic design, art, music and nightlife and has earned a cult following for its fun, carefree, colourful clothes.

Taking the wearer from the convenience store to the hiking trail, the first-ever PUMA x P.A.M. collection features simple yet adventurous silhouettes with bold graphics and all-over prints with a psychedelic edge. Its texture and colour-rich concept is inspired by the South American Yareta, a blobby, velvety cushion plant. “We wanted to make clothes that are comfortable for a seamless transition between the city and the wild, linking both of them”, says Misha Hollenbach.

“From the start, we saw this project as an opportunity to make something together that could go beyond fashion, and the PUMA team was instantly supportive. So, as part of the PAM/PUMA BIO/VERSE, we suggested created a project that worked to protect threatened wild places on the planet; the same kind of places that inspired the collection”, adds Shauna Toohey.

The BIO/VERSE uniquely commits to real-world environmental impact through a partnership with DEEP. Through the DEEP BioDATA Platform, the project supports the installation of biodiversity monitoring technology in one of the world’s last remaining wild places – the Jurua River region of the Western Brazilian Amazon. Cloud-connected audio sensors use Machine Learning to process live sonics from the project site, providing never-before-seen insight into keystone species, animal group behavior, insect density, primate community dynamics, migration patterns, change over time, and much more. This data is fed into local and scientific communities to enhance research, understand ecosystem dynamics, propel and direct conservation efforts, and stop illegal activity in these most beautiful and vulnerable ecosystems. DEEP works with on-ground partner Instituto Juruá, and technology partner Rainforest Connection to achieve these visionary impact outcomes.

 

Spanning 20 different styles, the collection includes elevated basics such as fleece jackets and sweaters, cargo trousers, T-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, and puffer jackets – all made with at least 20% recycled materials. The palette is nature-inspired and dominated by rich purple, lavender, green and copper tones.  Shoes comprise classic sneakers, trail-running shoes and clogs. On the minimal side, accessories - a bucket hat and cap, a trail backpack and a bottle bag set - highlight functionality.

 

Directed by Ben Ditto - the celebrated Creative Director specialising in the execution of utopian concepts - the campaign is fronted by the hottest young face in rap Thaiboy Digital, and by indigenous Australian artist Milari Barker. The audio of the campaign is produced by Swedish audio pioneer, Varg2TM and uses samples taken directly from our Amazon project site. “They are all friends of the P.A.M. family, people with the same values as us, so building something together has been a joy”, says Misha Hollenbach. “Connection and community have always been key to how we work.”

The PUMA x P.A.M. Collection will be available globally from November 5th in selected PUMA Stores, PUMA.com, P.A.M. stores, PERKSANDMINI.com, and distribution partners.

DESIGN YOUR REALITY WITH SKEPTA AND PUMA RS-X’S “REVOLUTIONARIES”

Together, PUMA and Skepta unlock a world where creativity is truly limitless in the new RS-X campaign.

“Revolutionaries” brings into focus the evolution of the RS franchise, expressed through bold colors, modern details, and high-tech accents. Two revolutionaries in their own rights, Skepta and RS-X unite in a new way that embraces the future and honors the past.

PUMA and Skepta break down the gates of reality, to harness the true potential of the individual, teaching us not only to unlock but to share our power with others. The campaign’s visuals follow the London-based visionary artist as he dismantles and rebuilds the world around him, with the ultimate goal of empowering others, allowing them to master their creativity.

PUMA kicks off its partnership with Skepta and his Big Smoke Corporation, to meaningfully shape music, art, and style culture at PUMA. Inaugurating the collaboration, Skepta becomes the front man of PUMA’s new RS-X “Revolutionaries” campaign.

In cooperation with PUMA’s ambassador, consultant, and designer Skepta, the PUMA RS franchise will start to arrive in early November of 2022, accompanied by further evolutions of the RS to follow in 2023.

“From the moment you wake up, you are designing your world. We are the architects. Creativity is limitless.” -Skepta

 

Note to editors:

The original RS franchise traces its origins to 1984 when PUMA endeavored to create the world’s first wearable sports product, and the world’s first smart shoe. The RS’ computing ability, application of biomechanics, and new cushioning technology combined to mark a major milestone not just for PUMA, but for the footwear industry at large.
Starting in 2018, the RS family has grown extensively, with the addition of new styles like the RS-X, RS-X3, RS-2K, RS-Fast, RS-Connect, RS-Dreamer, and more. Now for 2022, PUMA continues to build on the RS legacy.

Keep your head in the game: PUMA and Modibodi® introduce Period Pep Talks designed to keep women and girls in sport

Global sports company PUMA and absorbent apparel brand Modibodi®, have developed a series of Period Pep Talks with world-class female athletes - designed to encourage women and girls to stay in sport.

As part of the Period Pep Talk campaign, PUMA and Modibodi have designed a revolutionary new patent-pending period activewear collection. Launching this October, the new range will help women, girls and people who menstruate to feel comfortable and confident playing sport and being active during their period.

Period Pep Talks are a response to a globally commissioned report* that uncovered 1 in 2 girls quit sport due to periods. The talks feature world-class athletes including NRLW star Tiana Penitani, European sprinter Jodie Williams, and former professional race car driver Naomi Schiff, who directly address young girls and teens who are considering leaving the sport they love due to puberty and menstruation. The athletes share their own stories and experiences to help encourage girls to keep their head in the game.

“The data from our global report in May 2022, showed women and girls believe periods need to be more openly discussed in the sports world. That’s why we are proud to partner with PUMA to create the Period Pep Talks, working with their athletes to raise this issue in our global consciousness,” says Sarah Forde, Modibodi Head of Sustainability and Public Affairs.

According to PUMA Athlete Tiana Penitani: “I remember hitting puberty and finding it so hard to play on the field. The bulkiness of pads, the discomfort of tampons and the fear of leaking every month made me really nervous to play. One of the things I love about the new PUMA x Modibodi activewear is how they are designed to support the body whilst menstruating and in movement so you can play without fear of leaking or the discomfort of disposables. It's so freeing!”

PUMA Athlete Jodie Williams says: “I think it’s important for female athletes to share their stories and be as open as we can to help destigmatise the challenges of menstruating whilst competing. This is a global issue and one that will take us all speaking out to break down the taboo. The PUMA x Modibodi Period Pep Talks are an awesome way to connect with girls who are considering dropping out of sport and help to normalise menstruation. We need to tackle the stigma that women can't be active on their periods or when experiencing any of life’s leaks.”

PUMA Athlete Naomi Schiff says: “It is such a shame that the stigma around periods has and continues to hold girls back when it comes to sport. The PUMA x Modibodi collaboration not only brings innovation to the activewear market but it gives us girls and women wearable options that make it easier to be active at any point during a cycle. It also opens up the opportunity for a bigger change in the cultural conversation around the perceptions of periods in sport.”

The ground-breaking range combines Modibodi’s unique patent pending Activewear Technology with world-class expertise from PUMA. With a design showcasing innovation at its very best, the collection consists of two styles of activewear: leggings and cycle shorts with both styles available in two colours; aubergine and black.

This is the second installment from the PUMA x Modibodi powerhouse collaboration, after launching their first period and leak-proof underwear range in May this year.

“With 50 per cent of girls experiencing discomfort from disposable menstrual products like pads and tampons when participating in sport or physical exercise, we felt it was important to design a range of leak-proof activewear that would make playing sport on your period more comfortable, more protected, and more possible than ever,” says Erin Longin, Global Director Running and Training business unit at PUMA.

 

The PUMA x Modibodi activewear collection is available in selected stores and online at modibodi.com and puma.com.
