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.“

Editors Notes
German for “Made with Quality,” PUMA’s Macht’s Mit Qualitat collection represents the finest in PUMA’s design and materials. The concept channels minimalistic aesthetics, contemporary silhouettes, and sophisticated details into one refined vision of quality. Yet another core tenet for the MMQ collection is timelessness, which is represented through an aesthetic marriage between natural beauty and the wonders of human creation.
“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.”
The apparel collection uses cell technologies—stormCELL, rainCELL, dryCELL, and warmCELL—to protect against the elements. Key products in the launch collection feature a waterproof Stormcell Jacket, Raincell Jacket / Pant, and Down Jacket for the autumn, winter season. The collection also features new additions to PUMA’s trail running footwear offering with a new, lightweight trail shoe in FAST-TRAC NITRO GTX and an updated Voyage NITRO 2 GTX.
For multi-terrain. For outdoor conditions. For all SEASONS.
SEASONS Stormcell Jacket
Providing extreme weather protection, the Seasons stormCELL Jacket is a high-performing go-to when the going gets tough. Made with Sympatex—a three-layer waterproof, windproof, and breathable textile, the seam-sealed shell features an oversize adjustable hood with reflective bungee collar, hook and loop extended cuff, bonded two-way pit zips, and hem adjustments for a customized fit. Countless dry storage options—including multiple water repellent bonded zipper options and hand pockets with an internal bag—mean you’ll be prepared for whatever comes your way.
SEASONS Down Jacket
Conquer winter in the Seasons Down Jacket, featuring innovative warmCELL—a thermal insulation that traps heat close to the body for supreme warmth. An adjustable fitted hood, elastic bound cuff, and technical hem adjustments enhance the performance of this chill-proof style. Zip hand pockets are ideal when temps drop, while an internal chest pocket with packable bag and stow pockets will protect your stuff so you can focus on more important things, like your outdoor excursion.
SEASONS Raincell Jacket
An elevated water-repellent outer layer, the Seasons rainCELL Jacket features an adjustable hood with visor and bungee collar for wet weather protection. An extended cuff with hook and loop closure offers additional coverage and a secure fit. Internal seam sealing in key areas acts as an extra barrier so you can power through, whatever the forecast. Two bonded zip-front pockets provide convenient dry storage for everything—from phone to fuel.
SEASONS Raincell Pant
Featuring stretch material, the Seasons rainCELL Pant provides water-repellent coverage without restriction. Reinforced articulated knees further the ease of movement and add durability, while an elastic back waistband with belt loops and full zip fly with hook and loop closure ensure a stay-put fit. The gusseted zipper ankle offers enhanced shoe coverage, and two bonded zip front pockets are ideal for stashing essentials. Adventure on—rain or shine.
FAST-TRAC NITRO GTX
Featuring a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX upper, the FAST-TRAC NITRO GTX thrives in challenging conditions. A durable rubber PUMAGRIP ATR outsole provides reliable multi-terrain traction, while NITRO foam is ultra-responsive and cushioned. Light up your next adventure with sleek, reflective branding.
VOYAGE NITRO 2 GTX
With waterproof GORE-TEX, the Voyage NITRO 2 GTX keeps moisture out while still offering ultimate breathability. The outsole is next level with innovative PUMAGRIP ATR—a durable rubber compound designed for harsh elements and tough trails. NITRO foam provides propulsion and cushioning, while the bootie construction ensures dirt stays on the trail.
DEVIATE NITRO 2 WINTERIZED
Optimized for inclement weather, the Deviate NITRO 2 Winterized is an all-season upgrade to its award-winning predecessor. Featuring a water-repellent upper, the new iteration also
incorporates a full-length layer of premium NITRO Elite foam at the midsole for supreme cushioning and peak propulsion. A reworked PWRPLATE acts as a lever for maximum energy transfer at toe-off, while improved traction rounds out this tech-packed running shoe.

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.”

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