Herzogenaurach, Germany, 8 th August, 2024
CERTIFIED CLASSIC: PUMA & MANCHESTER CITY LAUNCH THE 24/25 AWAY KIT INSPIRED BY 1999 TRIUMPH

Global sports company PUMA and Manchester City have today launched the brand-new Away kit for the 24/25 season. Marking the 25th anniversary of one of the most iconic moments in the Club’s history, the kit pays homage to the kit worn during an unforgettable comeback on May 30th, 1999, when City triumphed over Gillingham in the Second Division Play-Off final in dramatic fashion.

Manchester City's history is rich with moments of tenacity and resilience, and the 1999 Play-Off final is a testament to that spirit. Trailing by two goals, City’s determination eventually saw them through to victory on penalties, after Paul Dickov’s dramatic equaliser in the 95th minute took the game into extra time. To celebrate this iconic match that has been etched into the hearts of the Manchester City fans, PUMA has brought back a certified classic: a navy-blue jersey featuring neon yellow vertical stripes, with neon yellow and blue detailing on the classic collar and sleeve trims.

Paul Dickov, Manchester City Club Ambassador, said: “It’s fantastic to see this year’s Away kit revealed today. The 1999 Play-off final victory still remains a special moment for myself and City fans around the world and I know the kit from that day is remembered by those who were there and beyond. It’s a wonderful gesture by the Club and PUMA to commemorate the anniversary with this year’s Away kit.”

Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, added: "This kit symbolizes a defining moment in Manchester City's history and the relentless spirit of its fans. Our goal was to create a jersey that honours the past while using the latest in performance technology to meet the needs of today's athletes and supporters. We’re proud to bring back a design that holds such significance and to do so with a sustainable approach."

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. This initiative represents a significant step towards a more circular and sustainable production process for football jerseys.

The 24/25 Away kit will be available in both Authentic and Replica versions, ensuring that every fan can wear a piece of history. The Authentic jersey, as worn by the likes of Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Alex Greenwood, is crafted with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, designed to reduce weight and friction, providing elite-level performance. The Replica jersey offers the same iconic look with a more casual fit, ideal for both match days and everyday wear. Both versions incorporate PUMA’s dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep fans and players dry and comfortable.

The Manchester City Away kit is available from PUMA stores, PUMA.com, City Stores (Etihad Stadium, Arndale Centre, Rockefeller Center & Yas Mall), mancity.com/shop, and select retailers worldwide from 8th August.

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.

PUMA HOOPS AND SALEHE BEMBURY TO USHER NEW ERA FOR BASKETBALL

Global Sports Company PUMA is announcing a game changing partnership with design visionary & cultural icon, Salehe Bembury. Bembury will join PUMA Hoops to not only design the brand’s next signature silhouette, but also help to recruit the brand’s next signature athlete.  With unmatched style and deep ties into the culture of basketball, the partnership will allow PUMA Hoops to continue its game changing path within both performance and culture.

He is now bringing his vision into the PUMA brand with a clear focus on it’s fastest growing segment – Hoops.  

“My designs are a platform for storytelling and cultivating community; an opportunity to breathe new meaning into a product. While my work has been known to cater to the outdoor space, a space I recently developed an intimate relationship with, my partnership with PUMA Hoops will allow me to tell a more deeply rooted personal story,” shares Bembury, “As a 90’s kid from New York City, I’ve played basketball my whole life and have a deep history, emotion, and nostalgia for the sport. I’m excited to leverage this collaboration as a catalyst to introduce an untold side of me and engage a new community.”

The partnership will yield a new creative edge and further challenge the conventions of performance and signature basketball within the culture of the game.  
 
“Today’s game is as much about performance as it is about the culture. Within signature that means being able to tell the athlete’s story both on and off the court. Salehe has had unrivaled success of bringing to life the intersection of sport, culture, and fashion through product design & storytelling. That combination, mixed with PUMA Hoop’s disruptive approach, results in a partnership that will bring game changing newness and excitement to basketball athletes, basketball consumers, and basketball culture – both on and off the court.” said Max Staiger, Global Head of Basketball for PUMA.
