Global sports company PUMA and Serie A Champions AC Milan have today launched the 2022/23 Home kit, inspired by Milanese heritage, new generations of Rossoneri and ‘That Milan Touch’.

PUMA AND DUA LIPA’S UNISEX FLUTUR DROP 2 COLLECTION IS AN ODE TO OLD-SCHOOL RAVE

PUMA and global pop superstar Dua Lipa present the second installation of their ongoing Flutur collaboration.

Flutur’s unabashed aesthetic invites bright colors and form-fitting looks, inspired by old-school rave culture. The collection is filled with vivid shades, holographic details, and retro silhouettes. Active influences are mixed throughout as well, shown through striped jerseys, throwback sportswear silhouettes, and tracksuit-inspired cuts. Hues of pink, purple, and orange define the collection’s color palette, which includes apparel, footwear, and accessories, while Dua Lipa herself introduces a new pink hairstyle to match the color scheme of the collection.

At the front and center of the collection, Dua Lipa’s butterfly lettermark is inspired by vintage rave flyers and represents transition and new beginnings, a theme that became central to the London-born musician’s life as she went through a creative metamorphosis of her own. Dua Lipa’s butterfly graphic shares placement with PUMA’s fast cat insignia in much of the collection.

“The butterfly represents transition, metamorphosis, and new beginnings. I felt like in the beginning, when I first started working on drop one, the butterfly already had a lot of meaning for me. Now, going into the second drop, that meaning has just solidified itself and become even more important in my life. It feels like everything progressed and manifested itself in that way.” - Dua Lipa

Flutur Drop2 spans over 30 items, with highlights including the flared T7 tracksuit, and the unique CELL Dome King, created exclusively by Lipa. The unisex collection is also offered up in a range of inclusive sizing. A series of bright tracksuits were conceived based on Lipa’s vision of a nostalgic, rave-ready tracksuit that is both comfortable and wearable. The full footwear offerings include models like the CELL Dome King, and three variations on the Mayze silhouette including the Mayze, Mayze Boot, and Mayze Metallic. Dua Lipa worked closely alongside longtime PUMA collaborator, designer, and songwriter Billy Walsh, who helped to fully realize the collection.

Photographed by Jordan Hemingway and choreographed by John Byrne, the campaign features the dance crew from Dua Lipa’s ‘Future Nostalgia’ tour, Samantha Grover (She/Her), Didde-Mie From (She/Her), Jason Nguyen (They/Them), Zaccary Mile (He/Him), Fatou Bah (She/Her), Robyn Laud (She/Her), Sharon Mangoendinomo (She/Her), Demi Mensah (She/Her), Kane Horn (He/Him), Lamaar Manning (He/Him), and Shawarah Battles (She/Her).

PUMA AND PALOMO SPAIN PARTNER TO CELEBRATE SELF EXPRESSION AND GENDER FLUIDITY WITH AN EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION

PUMA and Palomo Spain have joined forces to create a collection exploring team sports with a retro edge, while also championing today’s bold take on gender fluidity.

The PUMA x Palomo Spain collection is inspired by 1970’s football stars and their glamorous off-field lives, linking the flamboyant and extravagant approach of that decade’s fashion to Palomo’s signature couture-infused, romantic, gender-neutral designs. 

“My goal with this collaboration was to bring our over-the-top vibes over to PUMA, while stepping out of my comfort zone by designing sports clothes. That’s what led me to subtly reference Johan Cruyff, the ultimate 70’s football icon who is also the perfect embodiment of the Palomo Spain aesthetic in sport”, says Alejandro Gómez Palomo, Founder and Creative Director of Palomo Spain. “It was wonderful to partner with a company that has the means and engineering necessary to work on things in a way I can’t in my studio and my atelier, as that allowed us to approach the collection in a much more technical way than usual”, he adds.

“The crossover between craftsmanship and technology is an interesting one, as it’s not obvious at all; yet a highly technical production process was necessary to create the intricate embroideries and detailing that are Palomo’s trademark on the PUMA scale. Those delicate graphic elements elevate the collection and bring the right balance to a classic, clean silhouette”, says Heiko Desens, Global Creative Director for PUMA.

With precise lines and timeless, comforting colours ranging from beige, white and pale blue to navy blue, burgundy and vivid yellow, the gender neutral collection - which spans 15 styles - is rich in classic team sports references. Highlights include a bell bottom T7 tracksuit in cotton and polyester, complete with piping embroidered with the sinuous PUMA x Palomo Spain logo. A football-inspired half-zipped polo blends embroidery and jacquard, T7 nylon shorts match with classic tees and terry tank tops, and a nylon coat and printed long sleeve jersey top complete the ready-to-wear offering.

Footwear includes the nostalgic Weekend sneaker as well as the Nitefox loafer, featuring a bold, trail-inspired outsole. A laced boot version of Nitefox is also available. Accessories

provide a chic finishing touch with the bicolour Grip bag, the burgundy Crossbody clutch, an embroidered cap and a printed satin scarf, a Palomo Spain collection fixture.

“Palomo Spain’s take on fashion is always warm and welcoming, whether through his choice of colours, materials or references. The brand’s happy ethos immediately spoke to us, and its sense of rebelliousness, defiance of stereotypes and celebration of self expression is also what PUMA stands for”, says Heiko Desens.

The PUMA x Palomo Spain collection will be available on PUMA.com, select PUMA Stores, palomospain.com, and selected retailers worldwide with a retail prices ranging from 40 to 450 Euros.

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.

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.
