For the initial release, the low-top Speedcat returns with lush suede finishing, in black and red colorways nodding to iconic F1 racing teams. Honoring the racewear uniforms of the early 2000s, this new re-issue also features an embroidered cat detail on the toe, while gold logo hits appear on the tongue and above the Formstrip.

Created in 1999, the lifestyle iteration of the PUMA Speedcat is based on fireproof racing footwear worn by Grand Prix drivers throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. The Speedcat’s sleek, racing-inspired

lines and aerodynamic look allowed the silhouette to make an impact off the grid, in the world of fashion and sneaker culture. The Speedcat’s low-profile shape became a favorite in fashion capitals around the world, from London to Berlin to Korea, even spawning lifestyle variations like the PUMA Drift Cat and Race Cat. To date, the original Speedcat is the best-selling PUMA shoe of all time.

PUMA’s launch partner for the 2024 Speedcat is NAKED Copenhagen, the Copenhagen-based retailer known for its global female voice. PUMA and NAKED Copenhagen champion the Speedcat through a woman-led campaign, which celebrates what it means to be a pioneer off the track and on it. Just as every driver fight for pole position, the campaign honors what it takes to be a female leader.
