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.”

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.

THE PUMA MOSTRO IS HEATING UP FOR SUMMER IN TWO PERFORATED-LEATHER COLORWAYS

PUMA continues to turn up the heat, readying the low-top Mostro for a summer release.

Reimagined as a second skin, the Mostro debuts in a new pack of two premium, perforated-leather styles in monochromatic colorways. Mixing white and black color blocking on the upper, the Mostro takes on one of its cleanest color schemes to date.  
The low-profile silhouette comes with defining features including its signature spiked sole and versatile strap closure.  

First introduced in 1999, the Mostro takes its name from the Italian word for monster, which describes the shoe’s new, hybrid look that borrowed inspiration from two diverse realms – the sleek but tough sprinting spikes of the '60s and the chilled-out surfing shoes of the '80s. Recently, PUMA reached into the archive to bring back the Mosto, marking the convention-defying silhouette’s 25th anniversary.   

This latest chapter in the Mostro depicts the originality and rebellious attitude of the experimental silhouette, with a series of sunbathed visuals captured in vibrant Marseille. 

The latest PUMA Mostro is available starting July 13, 2024, at selected retailers worldwide including KITH, Slam Jam, END. Clothing, SSENSE, SNS, Atmos and SAiSON.

PUMA and Los Angeles-based label Carrots by Anwar Carrots are partnering up for a summertime scavenger hunt. Rooted in streetwear aesthetics, the collection features a range of apparel, footwear, and accessories, including a garden-inspired color palette of oranges and greens, and throwback graphics that celebrate the Super PUMA mascot.

Carrots playful approach to design is expressed through a hidden logo embroidered on a different location of every garment. 

The freshly picked PUMA x Carrots collaboration is highlighted by apparel including streetwear essentials and cut-and-sew items like the hoodie and shorts featuring a logo lockup mixing the Carrots wordmark with PUMA’s leaping cat. The collection’s cardigan features a graffiti-style allover pattern, while workwear-inspired pants are designed for a day’s work in the garden. The apparel offerings are rounded out by a striped rugby shirt and a graphic T-shirt that commemorates PUMA’s Super PUMA mascot from the 1970s. Lastly, the waist bag features a ripstop construction, rendered in two colorways with contrasting zippers and the PUMA x Carrots logo lockup, while the Super PUMA reappears on a limited-edition cap. 

For footwear, PUMA and Carrots reworked Suede XL and 180 silhouettes are ripe for the picking. The Suede XL comes fully dipped in textural orange with contrasting green laces and gold Carrots detailing. The accompanying 180 features a black Cordura color scheme, a special PUMA badge on the tongue, and an orange Carrots badge on the tongue.

- groundbreaking in 1999 and a work of art today. The runway exclusive 3.D style was created as an evolution of the Mostro aesthetic,and is PUMA’s first exploration in fully 3D-printed footwear.

#SPEEDCAT SUMMER: PUMA INTRODUCES THE OG RACING SILHOUETTE IN CLASSIC COLORWAYS

PUMA chases the podium with a new release of the OG Speedcat for 2024. Originally crafted for the fastest sport in the world, the PUMA Speedcat has forged a storied legacy within the world F1™. Now, PUMA re-launches the shoe that has graced the feet of Grand Prix champions

speedcat 2

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.

The muse and face of the campaign is stylist and creator Sierra Rena, who embodies fearless self-expression, an attitude built on the pioneers before her, and a determination to inspire future generations positively. Honoring the legacy of the Speedcat, the campaign presents the silhouette as a symbol of empowerment and innovation.

The PUMA Speedcat will be available for an exclusive pre-release event at NAKED Copenhagen Paris store in Le Marais on June 19th, as well as online at nakedcph.com, and in Naked Copenhagen stores in Copenhagen and Aarhus. From June 29, PUMA Speedcat will be available on PUMA.com as well as global retailers such as Kith, Atmos, END, SNS, and other exclusive accounts.

Additional colorways of the PUMA Speedcat are set to arrive later this year.

PUMA AND COPERNI SPEED THROUGH A FUTURISTIC UNIVERSE

PUMA and Coperni continue to build on their flourishing partnership with the launch of their first full collection for Spring/Summer 2024. 
 

In January, the collaboration was kicked off with the visionary PUMA x Coperni 90SQR, a sculpted dress shoe that is engineered to the specifications of a performance football boot. Now, both brands introduce a comprehensive vision that fuses fashion with speed, inspired by the uniforms of elite athletes. Simple yet highly purposeful, the drop utilizes pinnacle materials and details, culminating in an innovative statement of style and sports. 

The collection is highlighted by items like the Speedsuit, Bodysuit, Speed Dress, and Tights. Fluid lines and sleek cuts define the dynamic designs, which are fed from Coperni’s love of futurism. The range’s Football Jersey features subtle Coperni and PUMA logos on the chest. Running through the collection, innovative touches like jacquard mesh and tactile heat-transfer accents feature alongside French flag detailing, acknowledging Coperni’s heritage. Tones like white, black, and vibrant yellow build on the color schemes introduced with the first footwear drop. Accessories include a signature Coperni handbag in two sizes: the Medium Bag and Small Bag, both debossed with chrome foil and branded pull tabs. 

PUMA and Coperni also introduce a collaborative version of the Speedcat, a silhouette from the world of F1 racing. The low-profile shoe’s synthetic leather base is overlaid with a structural cage, while 3D-printed logo hits match co-branding on the tongue. Complementing the collection’s apparel, the Speedcat Coperni comes in white and black.  

The visuals for PUMA and Coperni’s inaugural campaign embody themes of time and movement, showing the duality between stillness and motion. Two protagonists start their journey as individuals, forming a symbiosis to illustrate the creative fusion between both brands. 

The PUMA x Coperni collection is available starting May 31, 2024 from Coperni stores, coperniparis.com and June 3 from PUMA.com and selected retailers.

INSPIRED BY SPORTS NOSTALGIA, THE PUMA X LMC GV SPECIAL IS A CITY STAPLE

Making its return from PUMA’s storied archive, the reissued 2024 GV Special receives a collaborative touch-up from Seoul-based Lost Management Cities.

Remixing the ‘80s tennis silhouette, Lost Management Cities renders the GV Special with a playful and nostalgic colorway, inspired by the Korean brand’s love for classic sportswear. Mixing blue and cream tones, LMC’s rendition comes with hand-finished detailing, such as raw fabric edges and zig-zag stitching on the upper. PUMA and LMC logos share placement on the tongue and heel, while a special Lost Management Cities tab is fastened to the PUMA Formstrip. Lastly, a gum sole offsets the light tones used across the upper.

Originally brought to life in the ‘80s under the title of PUMA California, the silhouette was originally defined by its universal indoor and outdoor adaptability and unmistakable inset midsole. Later on, the California was renamed the GV Special in honor of Argentinian Grand Slam winner Guillermo Vilas, who favored the shoe during his time as a domineering force on the court.

Later in the year, PUMA and Lost Management Cities will return with a full apparel collection.

The PUMA GV Special x Lost Management Cities is available starting May 25, 2024, at selected retailers worldwide.
