Global sports company PUMA refreshes their legacy of low-profile footwear with the launch of the Speedcat LS. The characteristic thin rubber sole shows an impressive journey so far from the performance orientated field of motorsport to the stylish look in daily lifestyle.
Born in 1999 the very first PUMA Speedcat conquered the street. The low-profile silhouette of the shoe was the perfect companion in daily life. The synergy of a smart and casual looking shoe combined with a cool sneaker attitude made you easily carve through your work in office in style without comprising your performance on the dance floors in the evening. The Speedcat evolution kicked off with partner Sparco resulting in an iconic signature line, the OG. The versatility of the footwear continued with PUMA launching the first women-orientated Speedcat Mid collections,
amending the silhouette of the shoe with a midcut.
The signature “feeling” of the thin low-profile rubber sole on the pedals was a major key
characteristic for PUMA Motorsport to provide the fastest teams worldwide with race boots inspired by Speedcat. Since 2004 PUMA is the official supplier of Scuderia Ferrari with Mercedes- AMG Petronas F1 team, BMW M Motorsport, Red Bull Racing and Porsche Motorsport following afterwards. The race boots offer the drivers fire-proof material, light-weight fabrics and great handling of the brake and throttle.
Speedcat sparked a range of additional low profile inspired PUMA Motorsport footwear like the Future Cat, RDG-Cat, R-Cat, Driftcat and Kartcat. The latest member of the Speedcat family – the Speedcat LS –Lifestyle - comes in the established suede upper with embroidered logos on the archive silhouette. The sockliner is featuring a profoam insert for better cushioning and comfort for the very first time. The Speedcat LS revamps the streets in four different colorways: PUMA Black, Peacoat, Cloud Pink and High Risk Red.
