The collection is also highlighted by trail-inspired garments like the reversible Padded Vest featuring water-repellent properties, and the Legionnaires Cap featuring a removable neck shade. Essential and easy to wear silhouettes are included in the form of Graphic T-Shirts and Graphic Hoodies, featuring special graphics created by PUMA and P.A.M. For accessories, the functional Backpack and Bottle Bag Set are ready for the rigors of your next trip.

Global sports brand PUMA and Manchester City have unveiled a special edition capsule collection in celebration of the Year of the Wood Dragon. This special release, blending 20 years of the Etihad Stadium's rich history with the vibrancy of Chinese culture, ensures Cityzens globally celebrate in style.

The centrepiece of the collection, a bespoke jersey, features hand-drawn, wood-carved illustrations that artfully intertwine the strength of the Wood Dragon with the architectural splendour of the Etihad's iconic turrets. It's more than a jersey; it's an emblem of progress, success, and auspicious beginnings, igniting a passion for Cityzens everywhere.

Marco Mueller, PUMA Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, said, "In designing this collection, we've paid homage to the iconic symbols of strength and endurance that resonate with Manchester City fans — the dragon and the famous Etihad turrets. Our aim was to create a design that fans would wear with pride, reflecting their unwavering support and the cultural richness that the Year of the Wood Dragon brings to the community."

Echoing this sentiment, Serena Gosling, Director of Retail & Licensing, stated, “Manchester City has a large and growing global community of fans who love to show their passion for the club by wearing our products.  - Following the success of our recent kits, we are excited to launch another bespoke collection kit that blends innovation and tradition. We hope our fans across the world enjoy the Year of the Dragon shirt and the accompanying apparel range.”

PUMA

Each piece in the collection carries the dragon iconography, symbolizing the power and fluidity that are hallmarks of both the legendary creature and the football club.

The Authentic jersey features cutting-edge technology to provide optimal performance and comfort on the pitch. Engineered with ULTRAWEAVE fabric, the kit boasts a structured, 4-way stretch design that reduces weight and friction, allowing players to move freely and comfortably. The dryCELL technology integrated into the fabric is designed to keep your body free from sweat.

The Replica version is similarly equipped with dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the 90 minutes and beyond – no matter the time, pitch, or place. Both jerseys are made with 100% recycled materials, excluding the trims and decorations as a step toward a better future.

PUMA AND COPERNI OFFICIALLY UNVEIL THEIR COLLABORATION WITH THE INNOVATIVE 90SQR SNEAKER

Today, PUMA and Coperni continue to unveil the extent of their partnership, arriving in the form of an all-new footwear design that endeavors to push the limits of innovation.

The future is today, as PUMA and Coperni take footwear design into unexplored new territory while redefining the limits of tech-driven fashion. Inspired by the PUMA football FUTURE boot and high-tech innovation, as well as elements of movement and brutalist architecture, the partnership looks beyond the past and present, and into the future. More than just a concept, the resulting design is a statement of futurism that remains entirely wearable

“We are so proud of this collaboration with PUMA. It is a big milestone for a designer to launch their first sneaker. The 90SQR gathers all our common values: innovation, minimalism, uniqueness. It’s everything we have dreamed of, and we look forward to launching more PUMA x Coperni pieces in the near future,” said Coperni founders Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant.

The visionary PUMA x Coperni 90SQR is a hybrid creation that is engineered to the specifications of a performance football boot. Defined by its structural look, the cross-pollinated design is firmly planted in two worlds, representing a new frontier of sport and fashion. The 90SQR comes in three colorways - White, Asphalt, and Mad Yellow - each constructed with taped seams over a mesh base. The radical design is a tactile symphony of textiles and details, with Coperni branding on the heels and co-branding on the lace tips. 

PUMA’s Global Creative Director, Heiko Desens explained, “From a material standpoint, it’s strictly performance. We stayed very close to the material specifications of performance boots. The square toe is the strongest design feature that takes it out of the athletic world because it's such a classic shape and it represents a high-fashion shoe.”

Photographed by artist Paul Kooiker, the accompanying campaign visuals evoke elegance in movement, as PUMA and Coperni’s 90SQR design is shown in multiplicity. The images reveal the geometric, structural beauty of the shoe next to the natural contours of the human body.
