Pulled from PUMA’s extensive archive, the GV Special receives an elevated update for 2024 in the form of three clean, court-inspired colorways, and under the title of GV Special Base.

Conceived under the standard of “Something Special,” this new trio of premium executions retains the GV Special’s court DNA, incorporating timeless green, cream, and grey tones. PUMA’s wordmark and leaping cat insignia appear on the tongue, while debossed “PUMA GV Special” lettering are subtly stamped just under the shoe’s top eyelet.

Channelling court aesthetics through a fashion lens, the campaign shows the GV Special Base accompanied by a chic wardrobe that blends tennis inspiration with preppy styling.
