October 6 sees the second drop, Show Up, with its own version of the renowned PUMA basketball shoe: the Slipstream Lo Retro sneakers come emblazoned with black and white details and are embellished with MCM’s striking Cubic Monogram print for a full visual box out.

First released in 1987, the Slipstream series has made its way through crucial moments of sneaker history, with this most recent incarnation being showcased by Mikey Williams, a strong and compact guard and offensive-minded player who knows a thing or two about basketball.

 

The second drop of the PUMA x MCM Slipstream Lo will be available globally from October 6 at MCM Worldwide in-store and online and from October 8 globally in selected PUMA Stores and its luxury distribution partners.

DESIGN YOUR REALITY WITH SKEPTA AND PUMA RS-X’S “REVOLUTIONARIES”

Together, PUMA and Skepta unlock a world where creativity is truly limitless in the new RS-X campaign.

“Revolutionaries” brings into focus the evolution of the RS franchise, expressed through bold colors, modern details, and high-tech accents. Two revolutionaries in their own rights, Skepta and RS-X unite in a new way that embraces the future and honors the past.

PUMA and Skepta break down the gates of reality, to harness the true potential of the individual, teaching us not only to unlock but to share our power with others. The campaign’s visuals follow the London-based visionary artist as he dismantles and rebuilds the world around him, with the ultimate goal of empowering others, allowing them to master their creativity.

PUMA kicks off its partnership with Skepta and his Big Smoke Corporation, to meaningfully shape music, art, and style culture at PUMA. Inaugurating the collaboration, Skepta becomes the front man of PUMA’s new RS-X “Revolutionaries” campaign.

In cooperation with PUMA’s ambassador, consultant, and designer Skepta, the PUMA RS franchise will start to arrive in early November of 2022, accompanied by further evolutions of the RS to follow in 2023.

“From the moment you wake up, you are designing your world. We are the architects. Creativity is limitless.” -Skepta

 

Note to editors:

The original RS franchise traces its origins to 1984 when PUMA endeavored to create the world’s first wearable sports product, and the world’s first smart shoe. The RS’ computing ability, application of biomechanics, and new cushioning technology combined to mark a major milestone not just for PUMA, but for the footwear industry at large.
Starting in 2018, the RS family has grown extensively, with the addition of new styles like the RS-X, RS-X3, RS-2K, RS-Fast, RS-Connect, RS-Dreamer, and more. Now for 2022, PUMA continues to build on the RS legacy.

PUMA AND SERIE A CHAMPIONS AC MILAN CELEBRATE MILANESE STYLE FOR NEW COLLECTION
PUMA and AC Milan take their partnership to new echelons, presenting a new streetwear collection inspired by the Milanese Paninari subculture.

With this new streetwear collection, PUMA and AC Milan deliver a personal, intimate look at the Club that was founded in 1899, by paying tribute to the cultural phenomenon of Paninari, a popular look that soon spread out of Milan and Italy and became a major influence on the 1980s fashion, creating a style that continues to be referenced by designers and fashionistas today - a further testament of Milan’s status as a trendsetting city and one of the fashion capitals of the world.

 

Alongside the apparel, the PUMA x AC Milan partnership offers up two versions of the PUMA RX-737 and PUMA Weekend sneakers, both stamped with a storied saying that erupted through the rafters of Milan’s San Siro stadium - “Solo Con Te,” which translates into English as “Only With You.”

This new collaboration arrives in support of PUMA’s Players’ Lounge, a collection that dives deep into PUMA’s archive to re-live football’s golden age of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

The new collection embraces the strategic direction undertaken by AC Milan and PUMA, with the two brands utilizing the style, fashion, and culture of Milan to develop performance and off-pitch fashionable products that tap into the unique Milanese style.

The PUMA x AC Milan 2022 streetwear collection is available starting November 12, 2022 from PUMA.com, store.acmilan.com , and select PUMA retailers and all rossoneri stores.

PUMA Hoops and Washington Wizards forward and entrepreneur Kyle Kuzma, have co-created a collection which includes styles made with more sustainable materials such as recycled and plastic-free fabrics and takes inspiration from Kuzma’s youth and early basketball aspirations.

The collection combines nostalgic nods to the ‘90s —from color blocking to cargo pockets—with more sustainable fabrics and dye practices. Apparel pieces in the collection are made using plastic-free RE:Place fabrics or at least 20% recycled materials.

In addition, PUMA will donate $10,000 to One Tree Planted in an effort to provide 10,000 trees to a project in Kuzma’s home state of Michigan. This donation connects to Kuzma's belief that a better future blossoms by planting the seed. It’s this optimism rooted in action that’s inspired Kyle Kuzma to create his Childhood Dreams collection with PUMA.

The Childhood Dreams collection consists of apparel and footwear including: the Childhood Dreams Hoodie, Childhood Dreams Cargo Trouser, Childhood Dreams Varsity Jacket, Childhood Dreams Ralph Sampson Mule and more. The collection, which retails for $40-$250 will be available starting November 18 on PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app and at the PUMA NYC Flagship Store.

As part of PUMA’s Forever Better sustainability strategy, the company aims to increase the proportion of more sustainable raw materials in its products. This includes committing to sourcing cotton, polyester, leather, down feathers, and cardboard from certified sources and increasing the percentage of recycled materials throughout its product range.

PUMA AND AMI PRESENT CHAPTER 2 OF THEIR COLLABORATION

Parisian house AMI joins PUMA once again in a collaboration that blends outdoors design elements and tailoring know-how, with a campaign fronted by singer-songwriter GIVĒON and model and activist Quannah Chasinghorse.

Inspired by thirst for freedom and exploring new horizons, the collection mixes PUMA’s sportswear heritage and AMI’s flair for tailoring, creating a well-rounded, wintery wardrobe. “I wanted this collection to be a perfect balance between our two worlds,” says Alexandre Mattiussi, Founder and Creative Director of AMI. “The goal was a playful, colourful collection, rich in volume and in extravagant details. It is a new chapter on the story we began developing during our last collaboration. We are now taking things further,” he adds.

“Together, we have been on a journey from wardrobe essentials to cosy, cocoon-like pieces you want to cuddle up with. This season, it is all about softness, oversized volumes, layering and draping with outdoors and hiking-inspired elements, which creates a certain sense of chic, but also a feel-good sensation,” says Heiko Desens, Global Creative Director for PUMA.

 

With a vibrant palette of bright orange, baby blue, bubble gum pink, moss green and purple offset by neutral beige, cream and brown tones, the collection - which spans 20 different styles across both men’s and womenswear - includes such AMI classics as carrot trousers, straight-line brushed coats, and timeless tees. As well as hoodies and sweatpants, functional fleece jackets with spacious patch pockets, and down jackets. The PUMA x AMI logo - AMI’s signature AMI de Coeur symbol merged with the PUMA stamp - is featured across a range of pieces in the collection.

 

Shoes remain timeless, with the Rider sneaker offering a knowing nod to 1970’s style. Accessories include a puffy backpack, a cross-body bag, bucket hats, and black-and-white striped beanies and a scarf in true AMI fashion.

“My style is intentional and perfectly curated - this collection feels like it came directly from my closet,” said GIVĒON. “I enjoyed this experience so much, I felt honored that PUMA and AMI chose me to be the face of the campaign, both are amazing brands that align with who I am.”

The global launch campaign was captured by David Paige against the unique landscapes of Pedernales Falls in Texas, featuring GIVĒON and Quannah Chasinghorse. “They both embody a new generation, one that is friendly, cool and carefree,” says Alexandre Mattiussi.

The new PUMA x AMI collection will be available exclusively in AMI stores and amiparis.com starting December 8th, and globally on December 10th on PUMA.com, PUMA stores, and selected retailers.
