PUMA IST OFFIZIELLER AUSRÜSTER DES 34. AMERICA’S CUP

Die Partnerschaft zwischen dem 34. America’s Cup und PUMA spricht für die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung des Rennens. Vom spektakulären Flügelkatamaran AC45, über innovative TV-Bilder und Kameraeinstellungen aus der Perspektive der Segler bis hin zu erstklassiger Sportausrüstung – alle Neuerungen der 34. Ausgabe des America’s Cup sorgen dafür, den Segelsport zu einem echten Fanerlebnis zu machen.

Craig Thompson, Geschäftsführer der Veranstaltungsbehörde des America’s Cup, sagte: „Der neue America’s Cup leitet einen radikalen Wandel des Segelsports und seiner öffentlichen Wahrnehmung ein. Wir haben jedes einzelne Detail der Veranstaltung aus Sicht des Zuschauers unter die Lupe genommen, um ein auf die Zuschauer weltweit perfekt zugeschnittenes Erlebnisprogramm zu schaffen. Darüber hinaus haben wir den Anspruch, unseren Fans die bestmögliche Performance-Kleidung für die hohen Anforderungen des Segelsports zu bieten. Mit PUMA haben wir den Partner gefunden, der diesem Anspruch gerecht wird.“

„PUMA hat schon immer einen etwas anderen Ansatz verfolgt, nicht nur im Segelsport”, sagte Antonio Bertone, Chief Marketing Officer von PUMA. „Wir sind die Herausforderer der Branche, die den Sport mit innovativen Kampagnen, Produkten und Partnerschaften für neue Zielgruppen begeistern und dabei immer den Spaß an der Sache sowie neue Maßstäbe in der Produktentwicklung von Sport Performance-Kleidung vor Augen haben. Das passt ideal zur Philosophie des America’s Cup, die beste beste und innovativste Veranstaltung des Segelsports seit Jahrzehnten. Deshalb freuen wir uns sehr, als offizieller Ausrüster des Cups an Bord zu sein.“

PUMA startete 2008 mit der ersten Teilnahme am Volvo Ocean Race in der Kategorie Segeln und entwickelte erstmalig eine Sport Performance- und Lifestyle-Segelkollektion aus Schuhen, Textilien und Accessoires. Dank seiner erfolgreichen Marketinginitiativen hat sich PUMA sehr schnell als starke und authentische Marke im Segelsport etabliert, was durch die neue Partnerschaft mit dem America’s Cup nochmals unterstrichen wird.

Die 34. Ausgabe des America’s Cup und PUMA verbindet außerdem das Engagement für Nachhaltigkeit und die Erhaltung der Weltmeere. So startet der America’s Cup eine große Aufklärungskampagne, die darauf abzielt, die Erhaltung der Ozeane durch verschiedene Aktionsprogramme zu unterstützen. PUMA arbeitet weltweit an nachhaltigen, kreativen und innovativen Lösungen, um seinen ökologischen Fußabdruck in seinem Kerngeschäft und auf allen Stufen seiner Wertschöpfungskette zu verringern. Der Beitrag zur Erhaltung der Weltmeere wird dabei ein Schwerpunkt im Bereich Segeln sein. Darüber hinaus wird PUMAs gesamte Kollektion für den America’s Cup aus nachhaltigeren Produktmaterialien hergestellt.

„Wir wünschen uns Partner, die nicht nur die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen des Sports begreifen, sondern auch die Bedürfnisse aller Anspruchsgruppen in den Vordergrund stellen, wie es in PUMAs globalem Nachhaltigkeitsprogramm deutlich wird“, fügte Thompson hinzu.

„Das Bekenntnis zum Umweltschutz ist unsere gemeinsame Verantwortung“, ergänzte Bertone. „Gemeinsam mit dem America’s Cup haben wir die einmalige Gelegenheit, Menschen weltweit zu erreichen und für die Dringlichkeit des Schutzes und der Erhaltung der Weltmeere zu sensibilisieren.“

PUMA Launches SEASONS, an Elevated Outdoor Collection

Global sports brand PUMA will launch a new outdoor footwear and apparel collection called SEASONS, a line of elevated performance pieces made with technical materials and innovative, stay-dry features.

The SEASONS collection is rooted in trail running and versatile for outdoor activities. It was created to protect against the elements by using functional, performance materials like GORE-TEX in its multi-terrain trail footwear, and Sympatex—a three-layer waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric made from 100% recycled material—in the Stormcell Jacket. The SEASONS collection is ready to tackle off-road terrain and various weather conditions.

“As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the closure of gyms and studios, we saw more and more people looking to the outdoors for fitness, health, and wellness,” said Erin Longin, General Manager, PUMA Run Train. “We knew this would be a lasting behavior and people were looking for gear that would perform in the outdoor environment, which is why we created SEASONS as an extension of our RUN PUMA performance collection.”

Key products in the launch collection feature a waterproof Stormcell Jacket, Raincell Jacket / Pant, and Down Jacket for the autumn, winter season.

PUMA’S FANDOM COLLECTION CAPTURES VIBRANT SPIRIT OF SPORTS FANS AROUND THE GLOBE

With the drop of its latest Fandom Collection, PUMA celebrates the vibrant fan culture of Accra, Ghana and showcases what football means to a new generation of fans everywhere.

To truly honor the inspiration for this collection – the fans themselves – PUMA accompanied Ghanaian football star Mohammed Kudus to his hometown of Accra, Ghana to shoot the Fandom campaign on location.

The resulting imagery features real fans and players against the colorful backdrop of their city and captures the unbridled energy that explodes when passionate individuals are united by sport. 

The Fandom Collection is as bold and bright as the new generation of football fans it pays tribute to. On the apparel side, tees in vibrant, off-beat colors feature all-over prints that catch the eye. Sweat and track suits range from essential black and grey styles to the edgier contrasting color blocks. But the signature detail that embodies the larger-than-life spirit of this collection is the oversized PUMA logo leaping off every item.

 

The footwear collection brings in the same fresh greens, pinks, and lavenders as the apparel, offering a fun new take on timeless silhouettes such as the Suede, CA Pro, Rider FV, and TRC Blaze. Overall, from its strategic pops of color to its splashy graphics, the Fandom collection has something for everyone, from adults to kids. Combining classic PUMA design with the flair and technology of today, these statement pieces are sure to become closet staples. 

 

Mohammed Kudus, who plays for Ghana’s national football team as well as Ajax, invited PUMA to see                                                     

Accra through his eyes for the Fandom shoot. The project came to life as an origin story of sorts, a direct
portal to the places that played a significant role in his sports journey and continue to represent the fan
lifestyle in his hometown.

“Greatness is doing it consistently “

PUMA Ambassador and German ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl shares his motivation and goals in PUMA’s “Only See Great” campaign

German ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl spoke about his motivation to keep performing at the highest level in a video interview with sports company PUMA, ahead of the new NHL season.

After winning the pre-game with his team, Leon Draisaitl, who was named most valuable player in 2020, is more than ready to rock the upcoming season starting with the first game October 13th.

“Individual awards are always great. You know, they show you that your hard work has paid off. But I’m in a team sport, right? So, winning the ultimate trophy as a team is more important at the end of the day.”

With the ‘Only See Great’ campaign, PUMA explores the career path of its brand ambassadors, as they talk about their own paths to greatness, listening to their hearts, and finding a vision that no one else can see.

 

After reaching the semi-finals with his team last season, Leon is now aiming for the finals: “I hope that we can take the next step next season. It was a great run, obviously, when you get to that point you want to win. But we did run into a team that was better than us. But hopefully next season we’re going to be that team.”

Despite a serious injury, Draisaitl fought through the last games of the season. He had to change his mindset, but his motivation is stronger than ever, he said: “Greatness is consistency. So, I’m preparing for next season like I do for any other season and to me it’s important to do it all over again. You know, show people that I’m capable of being at the top of my game every single year every night”, Leon says.

The idea for PUMA’s “Only See Great” campaign was inspired by cultural icon, entrepreneur and philanthropist Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter who first said: “I only see great. I don’t see good. I don’t see compromise. We should always strive to make something great, something that will last.”

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.
