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 CARROTS GREEN-THUMBED COLLECTION IS “IN SEARCH OF CARROTS”

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.

The limited re-issue of the OG Inhale shoe from 2000 in summer-melon high-risk red, which launched in May, was styled for the AWGE runway.

- 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. This 3.D style, alongside the black and white perforated Mostro, feature a signature spiked sole design which draws inspiration from the art of emphasizing the interesting and unconventional, which drew Rocky to the style.

PUMA ANNOUNCES BLACKPINK’S ROSÉ AS NEW GLOBAL BRAND AMBASSADOR

Today, PUMA announces a new partnership with Rosé, a member of one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, South Korean musical quartet BLACKPINK.

Rosé has established herself as a dominant and inspiring force in the K-pop world, as well as a style icon in her own right. Through the partnership, Rosé will bring her vision, voice, and unique insights to PUMA’s global campaigns and storytelling. The Korean-New Zealand K-pop star’s ambassador role will be dedicated to amplifying PUMA’s catalog of iconic silhouettes and supporting the “Rewrite the Classics” program, which celebrates PUMA’s most timeless franchises, bringing them into a new generation. 

Rosé says, “I am so excited to join the PUMA family. I cannot wait for my fans to join my next chapter with PUMA.” 

Joining PUMA Sportstyle ambassadors who have had a transformative impact including Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Dua Lipa, and Skepta, Rosé kicks off her partnership wearing the PUMA Palermo, styling the iconic low-top in her very own way. Over the course of the partnership, the K-pop idol will support additional classic franchises in PUMA’s Sportstyle category. 

“Rosé’s remarkable influence on music, fashion, and culture globally are such an inspiration.

#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.

A CLASSIC REWRITTEN: PUMA TAKES EASY RIDER FROM THE TRACKS TO THE STREETS

PUMA’s Easy Rider is back in the spotlight. 

A retro running silhouette that truly embodies a classic era of footwear design, the iconic Easy Rider touches down for the new season. Rooted in running, the OG Easy Rider has undergone an evolution. In 2024, it’s ready to be remixed and reinterpreted by a new generation. 

After revolutionizing the jogging craze of the 1970s thanks to its innovative shock-absorbing outsole, the Easy Rider was later adopted by football casuals, becoming a staple of terrace culture.

SKEPTA AND PUMA UNVEIL THE SKOPE FOREVER SNEAKER & FIRST FULL COLLECTION

Skepta’s unequalled style and cultural influence collide with PUMA’s rich heritage of sportswear design, creating a groundbreaking collection characterised by its distinct shapes, unique details and textures. Capturing the mood of the collection itself, the campaign employs light and shadow as primary visual codes, naturally casting the spotlight on Skepta. 

After being welcomed into the PUMA family as a brand ambassador in 2022, Skepta now unveils his inaugural collaborative collection. Created especially for Skepta and based on his unique aesthetic and codes, the collection features a stealthy colour palette emphasising materials like premium nylon, offset by silver hardware inspired by PUMA’s origins.

Balancing history with innovation, Skepta and PUMA’s first drop goes deep into PUMA’s extensive archive, adding Skepta’s distinct perspective to a full collection of apparel, accessories, and a brand-new footwear silhouette, the PUMA Skope Forever.

Conceived as a uniform for Skepta, the PUMA x Skepta Track Jacket and Track Pants form a coordinated set, taking inspiration from PUMA’s T7 tracksuit. The technical Vest features unique tailoring with concealed pockets, while the accompanying Backpack maintains the same aesthetic, created in a black-on-black colorway with ample storage. Completing the lineup of accessories, the first PUMA x Skepta collection also introduces Gloves and a cuffless Beanie.  

The PUMA Skope Forever is an all-new footwear style co-created by Skepta and PUMA, inspired by early-2000s footwear designs and debuting in a special iridescent colorway. Robust tooling serves as the foundation for the upper, featuring a mesh underlay wrapped in fluid opalescent panels. Silver accents emerge from beneath the Skope Forever, contrasting with its covert colourway. A special PUMA x Skepta badge features on the tongue, completing the tech-luxe silhouette.

Kicking off a long-term partnership between Skepta and PUMA, the first collection is available from May 18, 2024, from PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores, and selected PUMA retailers with retail prices ranging from 60 to 200 Euros.

SERVING ON THE DANCE FLOOR: PUMA AND PALOMO SPAIN’S NEW COLLECTION IS HERE

PUMA introduces an all-new genderless collection in collaboration with Palomo Spain, a celebration of queer identities, '80s athletic culture, and the glitz of '70s roller disco, marrying Palomo’s elegant essence with PUMA’s heritage of sportswear. 

Inspired by the nostalgic allure of a sporty icon from the '70s, the latest PUMA and Palomo campaign offers a peek behind the scenes of an advertisement shoot. Set within a studio reminiscent of Hollywood's golden era, the backdrop merges seamlessly with the narrative. Bathed in perfect lighting, models exude effortless charm as they rehearse their movements gracefully juxtaposed against the shadowy figures of production staff.

The collection embodies a fusion of retro flair and contemporary touches with premium fabrics, distinctive logos and trims, and a rich color palette of warm tones. Key pieces include the hybrid Nitefox Loafer alongside a fresh take on the classic Palermo silhouette.

PUMA and Palomo’s apparel offerings start with the T7 Track Jacket and Track Pants in Warm White and Teak, constructed from a premium knitted jacquard fabric, reminiscent of previous PUMA x Palomo collaborations. Carefully crafted with modern machinery, the matching Top and Shorts feature a unique pattern that evokes traditional artisanal techniques. The collection's Baby Tee is made from a supple French terry material, while the exclusive Graphic Tees showcase a custom crest created by PUMA and Palomo.

“I'm really excited about the knitwear. I love a white look. I think you can look like the smartest and most elegant version of yourself when you're fully dressed in white. The long pants and long-sleeved knitted tracksuit are delicious,” said Alejandro Gómez Palomo, Founder and Creative Director of Palomo Spain.

For footwear, PUMA and Palomo reimagine the Palermo with asymmetrical color blocking in a coordinating Red hue. The collection also showcases a revamped version of the trail-ready Nitefox, now transformed into the Nitefox Loafer. This design combines a chunky sole unit with a traditional loafer upper adorned with tassel details and a sleek silver logo buckle.

Rounding out the accessories, the Visor continues the collection’s tennis motif, while the Clutch renders PUMA and Palomo’s knitted pattern in a passionfruit tone, with the Grip Bag coming in white with silver hardware.

The new PUMA x Palomo Spain collection is available starting May 11, 2024, from palomospain.com, PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores, and selected PUMA retailers.
