Speedcat
Herzogenaurach, October 9, 2024
THE RACE-READY PUMA SPEEDCAT RETURNS IN TWO ARCHIVAL COLORWAYS

The PUMA Speedcat hits the asphalt in two new archive-inspired colorways. 

Continuing to re-shape the current trend zeitgeist, the latest Speedcat features lush suede finishing, optioned in “Light Blue/Navy” and “Haute Coffee/Frosted Ivory” versions. The aerodynamic low-top silhouette is finished with an embroidered cat detail on the toe, as well as logo hits on the tongue and above the Formstrip. Evoking F1 racing tires, both shoes ride on a black rubber sole unit. 

The archival Speedcat is portrayed alongside another thrilling, high-octane pursuit, as the 25-year-old silhouette is envisioned within the world of motorsports. Set in the badlands, the rebellious campaign, produced in collaboration with NAKED Copenhagen, depicts the Speedcat as an outsider, challenging the status quo of sneaker culture. Embodying female energy and fearless self-expression, stylist and creative Sierra Rena reappears as the muse of the campaign. 

These latest editions follow up on the original black and red Speedcat colorways that launched in June, nodding to the racewear uniforms of iconic F1 racing teams. 

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. One of PUMA’s most heritage-rich and innovative designs, the Speedcat transcended its roots as a performance racing shoe in the adrenaline-fueled world of F1, before being embraced as a street-style icon.

The PUMA Speedcat Archive will be available starting October 12, 2024, on PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app, at the PUMA NYC flagship store and select retailers worldwide such as NAKED Copenhagen, Kith, Atmos, END, SNS, and other exclusive accounts. 

MOSTRO ARCHIVE
Herzogenaurach, September 17, 2024
PUMA’S NEW MOSTRO ARCHIVE PACK IS MONOCHROMATIC SIMPLICITY

PUMA introduces the latest chapter in the legacy of the Mostro with the Archive pack.  

Comprising two colorways in “Vapor Gray/Frosted Ivory” and “Black/Strong Gray,” the Archive colorways feature a subtle faded finish, combined with technical ripstop material on the upper. The result is a timeless expression of the hybrid footwear design that nods to the shoe’s heritage in the late ‘90s while retaining a tasteful simplicity. 

A design that bridges the past and present, the low-profile Mostro also comes with defining features including its signature spiked sole and functional strap closure.  

First introduced in 1999, the Mostro’s name is an Italian word meaning monster, which captures the shoe’s experimental look that borrows from the sprinting spikes of the '60s and the chilled-out surfing shoes of the '80s. Recently, PUMA reached into the archive to bring back the Mostro, marking the convention-defying silhouette’s 25th anniversary. 

Accompanying the visuals for the recent Mostro Perf collection, the Mostro Archive is unveiled against the background of sunny Marseilles. 

The latest PUMA Mostro is available starting September 21, 2024, at selected retailers worldwide including KITH, Slam Jam, END. Clothing, SSENSE, SNS, and Atmos.

PUMA AND ARIES DEBUT FIRST EVER COLLABORATION

Today, PUMA announces its first ever collaboration with London-based luxury streetwear imprint Aries, after debuting a tease of the collection at PUMA’s New York Fashion Week show in February 2024.

Blending PUMA’s heritage with Aries’ luxe-streetwear aesthetic and signature graphics, the partnership riffs on racing and kitschy aesthetics, mixing modern and nostalgic references into one breakneck vision. The genderless collection is highlighted by statement graphics as well as experimental knitwear and double nylon pieces, paired with a crafted selection of accessories and footwear, including an Aries take on the iconic PUMA Mostro. 

The collaboration capsule includes a moto-mesh long sleeve tee featuring a selection of Aries custom graphics, as well as the knitted cardigan printed with an original digital print. A lace-knit tight tee incorporates cycling inspiration and is made from an original knitted jacquard, while the garment-washed oversized tee features a fierce “PUMA” graphic with an airbrushed motif playing on Aries’ branding of ancient mythology. The water-repellent nylon lightweight jacket and lightweight pants once again make use of a digital print featuring a “PUMA” skeletal x-ray graphic. Playing on kitsch codes, accessories like the PUMA x Aries Cap and very Mini Grip Bag evoke ‘80s and ‘90s mall aesthetics. 

PUMA x Aries

For the footwear, PUMA and Aries turn their attention to the incomparable Mostro and iconic Suede. The Mostro is the hero of the collaboration and is reworked with a mixture of mesh, neoprene, and suede on the upper. Aries’ take on the Mostro also features an elastic closure with an adjustable toggle at the rear. The Suede comes with a rubberized mudguard, leather toe cap, and special graphics on the heel and tongue. 

PUMA and Aries call on acclaimed New York photographer Mark Luckasavage who effortlessly captures the PUMA x Aries collection through a spectral, filtered lens. Portraits and candid images comprise the campaign, which imparts the impression of a tainted daydream to reflect the ethos of the collaboration.

PUMA x Aries launches Thursday 5th September 2024 at ariesarise.com and the Aries Flagship store, 31 Great Pulteney Street, London, W1F 9NN, as well as PUMA retailers including END. Clothing, Slam Jam, and KITH. 

 

GV SPECIAL LAUNDRY BOYS
Herzogenaurach, September 7, 2024
SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN: PUMA DROPS THE “LAUNDRY BOYS” GV SPECIAL

PUMA’s latest take on the GV Special is all fresh, no mess. 

The 1983 tennis sneaker is remade with a special resin-coated upper, to create a scuff and dirt-repellent version of the iconic low-top. The pristine and playful edition of the GV Special will stay spotless and clean wear after wear. The “Laundry Boys” GV Special is also a perfect blank canvas to scribble and tag, and then just wipe clean to start over with a new masterpiece. 

This special “Laundry Boys” edition comes with custom packaging, inspired by the nostalgic logos and slogans of laundry detergent brands.

 GV SPECIAL LAUNDRY BOYS

Giving rise to the playful GV Special concept, a popular anecdote tells of a laundry service formerly run by the Dassler brothers. Nicknamed the “Laundry Boys” by residents of Herzogenaurach, the brothers were known for delivering clean washing around their hometown.

SUEDE TO THE MAX: PUMA’S SUEDE XL IS BACK IN NEW COLORWAYS

PUMA is back with the enormous Suede XL, a remix of the iconic original from 1986 that was embraced by graffiti writers and B-boy crews who developed a love for the silhouette. 

PUMA’s supersized Suede XL borrows its rebellious inspiration from ‘90s and early 2000s skateboarding footwear. Extra-cushioned with over-the-top proportions, the Suede XL differs from the original Suede through its padded tongue and Formstrip, as well as ultra-wide laces that call back to the aesthetics of Y2K skate culture.  

Just like the Suede Classic did in the ‘90s, the new Suede XL has found its home in the skateboarding scene, thanks to its durability, sturdy midsole, and extra padding. Built for backyard pool sessions and beyond, the Suede XL is part of PUMA’s Rewrite the Classics collection, which celebrates PUMA’s most timeless franchises, bringing them into a new generation. 

The latest PUMA Suede XL is available starting August 16, 2024, from PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores, and selected retailers.

ELEGANCE IN MOTION: PUMA & AC MILAN UNVEIL THE 24/25 AWAY KIT WITH EPIC ON-PITCH DEBUT AT YANKEE STADIUM

Global sports company PUMA and AC Milan have today officially unveiled today the Club’s Away kit for the 2024/25 season, merging timeless sophistication with modern design to embody the essence of Milanismo.

The new Away kit was showcased for the first-time last night at Yankee Stadium, where AC Milan played a friendly game against Manchester City. In an epic first for AC Milan, the team wore their Home kit in the first half and then surprised fans by switching to the new Away kit for the second half, marking its debut and the first time the Club has unveiled a kit in this way.

Details make all the difference in the 24/25 AC Milan Away kit. The classic white Away kit combined with a red-and-black polo collar and monochromatic crest personifies the spirit of success and casual sophistication of a team synonymous with the beautiful game. A tonal pinstripe pattern adds a historic touch, honouring AC Milan’s origins as the Milan Football and Cricket Club.

Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, commented: “As we unveil our new Away kit for the 2024/25 season in such an innovative manner, showcasing it first on the pitch at Yankee Stadium, we continue to push the boundaries of how we connect with our fans and communities. This kit not only represents the elegance and innovation that define our Club, but also serves as a testament to our ongoing commitment to our fans and community.  Our partnership with PUMA allows us to honour our rich legacy while actively giving back to the community through initiatives like the ‘City and Milan for Change’ project, reinforcing the values that define our Club.”

PUMA x AC MILAN

Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, added: “This Away kit is a testament to AC Milan’s enduring legacy and the sophistication that the Club embodies. We wanted to create a jersey that not only pays tribute the rich history of AC Milan and their origins, but also incorporates cutting-edge performance technology. We are proud to support AC Milan’s journey with a kit that combines elegance with innovation.”

The 24/25 Away kit is available in both Authentic and Replica versions. The Authentic jersey, worn by the players, is crafted with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, designed to reduce weight and friction, ensuring elite-level performance. The Replica jersey offers the same striking design with a more relaxed fit, perfect for both game days and everyday wear. Both versions incorporate PUMA’s dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep fans and players dry and comfortable. 

Reflecting PUMA’s commitment to sustainability, the Replica jerseys are made using the RE:FIBRE initiative, utilizing recycled textile waste to create new materials without compromising quality. Containing at least 95% recycled textile waste and other used polyester materials, this initiative represents a significant step towards a more circular and sustainable production process for football jerseys.

The launch of the Away kit is part of the broader “City and Milan for Change” initiative, a collaborative effort by AC Milan and Manchester City, supported by PUMA. The initiative focuses on giving back to the New York Community through various activities surrounding last night’s fixture. One highlight was a special joint community event in New Jersey on 26th July, which brought together over 60 boys and girls from the Success Academy Charter Schools Soccer Program, actively supported by Fondazione Milan since 2021, and children from the City in the Community (CITC) Soccerbloc program in Staten Island. The event featured participation from legends of both Clubs, making it a memorable occasion for all involved.

To mark the launch of the new Away kit, AC Milan and PUMA will host an exclusive “House of Milan” event on the 28th July in Manhattan. The event will bring together stakeholders and VIP guests to celebrate the new kit in a fashion-forward manner.

The AC Milan Away kit is available from PUMA stores, PUMA.com, the AC Milan Official Stores, store.milan.com, and select retailers worldwide from the 28th July.
