PUMA LAUNCHES NEW ARTIST SERIES PLATFORM WITH MARTÍ SAWE

PUMA’s brand new Artist Series launches with Barcelona-born Martí Sawe.

PUMA and Martí Sawe partner up for a special collection inspired by Sawe’s love for graffiti doodles and classic streetwear. Sawe is best known for his extravagant paintings that fuse scribbles, virtuoso details, and flat geometric shapes that he mixes together in tangled compositions with vivid hues. The visual impact of Sawe's work reflects a confusing but sincere context, as the artist finds inspiration in any everyday detail. Inspired by these details, Sawe deforms them, repeats them, breaks them, and plays around with mistakes to achieve his own signature abstraction. 

The collection comprises a series of graphic T-shirts and Long-sleeve Shirts, adorned with Sawe’s signature doodles, colors, and characters.

PUMA x Martí Sawe is available starting January 6, 2024, from PUMA.com. PUMA flagship stores, and selected PUMA retailers.

About Martí Sawe

Spanish artist and illustrator Martí Sawe draws his inspiration from everywhere and anywhere, be it cartoons, plastic bootleg toys, or WhatsApp stickers. Born in Barcelona and trained at Escola Massana, Sawe eventually became a fixture in the city’s graffiti scene, before co-founding Manson audiovisual studio. Following his first solo exhibition in New York City, Sawe embarked on his career as an artist, going on to show around the world in Brussels, Lyon, Tokyo, Amsterdam, and beyond.

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.

The PUMA x Coperni 90SQR is available starting January 19, 2024, from Coperni stores, coperniparis.com and January 22 from selected retailers.

IT’S ALIVE! PUMA’S FEARLESS MOSTRO REEMERGES AFTER 25 YEARS

PUMA celebrates the return of the incomparable Mostro sneaker.

Originally launched in 1999, the Mostro derives its name from the Italian word for monster, which describes its new, experimental look that marked a new aesthetic at the time. A hybrid creation that stands out while fitting in, the Mostro draws inspiration from two diverse realms – the sleek but tough sprinting spikes of the '60s and the chilled-out surfing shoes of the '80s.

An iconic and convention-defying silhouette from PUMA’s storied archives, the low-profile silhouette boasts defining features such as its signature spiked sole and versatile strap closure. Promising maximum flexibility and comfort, the Mostro is an utterly singular design for monsters and humans alike. The 2024 Mostro is constructed with a mesh upper, overlaying PUMA Formstrip in metallic silver, as well as an elastic strap closure and lycra liner.

Captured through the lens of photographer Chris Maggio in New York City, the campaign shows the Mostro through the daily lives of several unique city dwellers. Thawing out after 25 years in cryogenic slumber, the PUMA Mostro is set for its long-awaited re-entry. Joining the Mostro are a group of defrosted individuals embodying the roles of two iconic NYC characters – the Gen-Z tastemaker, and the Tourist. Just like the Mostro itself, these unexpected and bold characters are intended to stand out as different from the rest.

Groundbreaking in 1999, and a work of art today, the Mostro walks the line between sports and style, and now it's back. 

Debuting in a Light Grey and Yellow colorway, the PUMA Mostro will be available at selected retailers worldwide including Dover Street Market, Slam Jam, VooStore, Kith, The Broken Arm, LN-CC, END. Clothing, and WORKSOUT starting January 13, 2024.

PUMA and BMW M Motorsport Unveil Iconic Limited-Edition Art Car Capsule Collection by Roy Lichtenstein

Global Sports Company PUMA and BMW M Motorsport are proud to announce their latest collaboration, bringing the world of automotive, art and fashion together. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the legendary artist Roy Lichtenstein, PUMA and BMW M Motorsport are joining forces to pay homage to his enduring legacy. Through a unique capsule collection that marries Lichtenstein's iconic BMW Art Car with PUMA's distinctive style, this collaboration not only commemorates the artist's centenary but also revives the spirit of his groundbreaking work for a new generation of art and fashion enthusiasts. 

In 1977, the third BMW Art Car emerged as an artistic triumph, born from the imaginative genius of the American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. This race car, a BMW 320i Turbo, was transformed into a mobile masterpiece, adorned with Lichtenstein's distinctive "Ben-Day dots" artwork. The design gave the illusion of a moving landscape with the sun rising on the one side and setting down on the other referencing the twenty-four hours cycle of the race in Le Mans where the car proved itself in the grueling motorsport arena, achieving 9th place overall and first in its class.

Now, the spirit of that iconic Art Car is reborn in a unique collection that combines the artistry of Roy Lichtenstein with the dynamic essence of PUMA and BMW M Motorsport. This limited-edition capsule is designed to reflect the racing spirit and artistic innovation that have been at the core of the BMW Art Car project for decades. It  pays homage to an artist, who in his practice constantly sought to blur the distinction between high and low art by creating everyday objects from magazine covers and shirts to champagne bottles alongside his famous canvases.

The collection consists of a full outfit, featuring a jacket, pants, tee, cap, and PUMA Suedes, each meticulously crafted to showcase the captivating design elements inspired by Lichtenstein's BMW 320i Turbo Art Car. The visual language of "Ben Day dots" and the vivid color palette come together to create a striking and memorable ensemble.

The Art Car Collection by Roy Lichtenstein from PUMA and BMW M Motorsport is set to be a collector's dream. This is now available in selected PUMA store and online via puma.com.

PUMA BRINGS TWO GENIUSES TOGETHER: MAGNUS CARLSEN AND PEP GUARDIOLA

Global sports company PUMA, together with Manchester City Football Club and Chess.com, launches an exclusive talk between two geniuses: Pep Guardiola from the football world and Magnus Carlsen from the chess world. PUMA’s ambassadors discussed unforgettable moments from their careers, elaborated on strategies and tactics in both sports, and shared some tips and tricks with fans.

“I have loved football since I was little. I played it every day. I did not come home from school; I just stayed at the school to play football. Then I came home to play chess. It turned out that I was better at chess, so I continued to do that”, said Magnus Carlsen, Five-time World Chess Champion. 

Pep and Magnus analyzed specific goals and moves, emphasizing the importance of patience, strategy, and adapting to the opponent's actions. Guardiola highlights the significance of controlling the middle in both football and chess, while Carlsen draws similarities between attacking on one side and creating advantages. They also discuss the role of instinct and unpredictability in achieving success.

The conversation delves into the mental aspects of high-pressure situations, emphasizing the need for calmness and adaptability. Both share insights from their respective fields, showcasing the strategic thinking and mastery required in football and chess. “I think the way you have to take defenders away with the attack depends on the movement of the opponent. You must pay attention to what the opponent does in every single movement and react to that. Magnus has two hours to make the next movement. We have a second to react or take a decision”, explained Pep.

The conversation concludes with reflections on extended matches, with Carlsen recalling a 7.5-hour chess game and Guardiola expressing admiration for such dedication and focus.
