VINTAGE MEETS MODERN:NEW COLLECTION FROM PUMA AND MAISON KITSUNÉ
Sports company PUMA and fashion brand Maison Kitsuné are partnering together for the first time for a full collection, merging the brand’s Paris-meets-Toyko aesthetic with PUMA’s classic styles and sport heritage.

For their first collaboration together, PUMA X MAISON KITSUNÉ takes classic silhouettes and reworks them, resulting in a vintage yet modern look. Taking from Maison Kitsuné’s roots, the designs merge Japanese and French design elements, as well as incorporate PUMA’s DNA, to create a fresh and unique collection. The color palette plays with different shades but keeps it mostly tonal and earthy. Rubberized finishes and authentic co-branding help make this a collection that’s the epitome of chic street style. Maison Kitsuné’s signature Fox logos can be seen throughout the collection, coming from “Maison,” the French word for house, and “Kitsuné” the Japanese word for fox. It represents a symbol of versatility, much like the brand itself, and they know how to adapt according to inspiration, as showcased in this collection.

Maison Kitsuné’s signature elevated basics merge perfectly with classic PUMA silhouettes for the apparel in the collection. Detailed utilitarian pieces like the Military Jacket and Cargo Pants stand out alongside basics like track suits, tees, and hoodies that feature embroidery and minimalistic designs. The Military Jacket is made of a technical fabric that not only protects you from winds, but also keeps you comfortable in wet conditions too. It includes an all-over graphic print lining with thin padding and multiple front flaps and hook and loop pockets for secure storage solutions. Coming in perfect form and function, the Cargo Pants feature six pockets, graphic embroidery, and a regular fit.

 Rubber mudguards are a key element in the footwear story, rooted in Japanese heritage, much like Maison Kitsuné. The Ralph Sampson Mid comes in a black nylon upper with a molded rubber overlay in tan, in a mid-cut style. The Roma takes on a more subtle and clean look with a white leather upper with contrast stitching and a tan gum outsole. The collection also includes the Ralph Sampson Lo in two additional colorways.

Minimalism meets functionality at its fullest for the accessories in the collection, including a backpack, waist bags, caps, and bucket hat. The Backpack comes in a muted tan design with a zip opening, rolltop construction to vary volume, and an external padded laptop compartment. The Waist Bag comes in black and tan versions with multiple compartments and an adjustable jacquard webbing shoulder strap with PUMA x MAISON KITSUNÉ branding and embroidery.

KIDSUPER BRINGS CREATIVITY TO NEW LEVELS IN LATEST PUMA COLLECTION

PUMA and creative artist collective KidSuper Studios are back for another football-inspired, co-branded collection, which is infused with boundless imagination and continues to explore KidSuper’s artistic and experimental way of thinking.

KidSuper Studios is a homegrown artist collective based in Brooklyn, New York. In 2021, this circle of creatives joins with PUMA for a second season, offering their unique perspectives for a series of unexpected collection pieces. Bringing KidSuper founder Colm Dillane’s artwork to life, PUMA enters the crazy and colorful world of KidSuper, where classics are transformed into never-before-seen designs. 


The PUMA x KidSuper Studios second collaboration boasts mix-and-match design elements, experimental prints, and challenges the conventional look of a sneaker. Hook and loop closures, decorative zig-zag stitching, and embroidered branding are complemented by raw edges for a purposefully unfinished look. Inspired by Dillane's unbridled love of football, campaign images were shot with his favorite team and recent Copa Libertadores champions, Brazilian club Palmeiras. PUMA sponsored athletes William, Gabriel Veron, Weverton and Renan serve as the models for the collection.

Painting and sketching graphics handmade by KidSuper are brought to life on the apparel pieces in the collection. Items like the hoodie and puffer jacket have a printed painting. Sketches of a face are made into a camo print on the fleece top and pants. 

Possibly the most unique and impressive piece in the collection is the bathrobe. It comes in a red, yellow and white all-over-print with co-branded embroidery on the back with piping on collar edge, cuff and hem. It further features a belt, front pockets, and internal pocket. The football inspiration shines through in items such as the crew neck, adorned with the KidSuper football club logo.

Classic PUMA footwear styles are practically unrecognizable with the transformations in this collection. The RS-2K Slip-on is the standout piece, featuring the same camo inspired face print as the fleece top and pants, with a quilted upper. Mirage Mox and Trailfox Boot get colorful transformations and feature unique aspects like stitched leather pieces on the collar to hold a pencil on the Trailfox and tie dye laces on the Mirage Mox. The Vesuvo offers a more subtle option, with a white leather upper and semi-translucent rubber overlay on the heel, KidSuper Studios embroidery on hook and loop straps, and an exposed foam edge on the formstrip and tongue.

Outfit yourself in a work of art when the PUMA x KidSuper collection drops on PUMA.com, PUMA stores and select retailers on March 13th

PUMA AND CARA DELEVINGNE CO-CREATE NEW ECO-CONSCIOUS YOGA COLLECTION

Global sports brand PUMA and international model, actress, and activist Cara Delevingne have co-created Exhale, a new eco-conscious yoga collection.

When designing the Exhale Collection, PUMA made thoughtful decisions around sustainability by using eco-conscious materials, such as at least 70% recycled polyester, and by fully offsetting any unavoidable emissions.

The collection is made for those who want to make a more mindful space – spiritually, mentally, and environmentally, without losing any performance benefits. It includes a high waist full tight, studio bra, knit cover up, crop top, boyfriend-inspired tee, leotard, and a jogger – all in a neutral color palette.

“Yoga is one of my biggest passions, it has impacted my life in such a positive way. When PUMA approached me about partnering to create a yoga line, I was thrilled. We both are very focused on the environment, that is why it was important to design a collection with minimal impact,” said Cara. “This creates a more meaningful impact on our mind, body, and practice; allowing us space for peace and tranquility to simply exhale.”

PUMA is committed to reducing its environmental impact and live up to its code of being “Forever Better”. That is why Cara decided to partner with PUMA to create a performance collection that would combine two of her biggest passions – yoga and the environment.

To offset any unavoidable emissions, PUMA partnered with First Climate, a leading provider of services relating to carbon neutrality, green energy, and water management to purchase credits toward the construction of small-sized biogas plants for rural energy supply, which is used to replace conventional fuels like firewood or coal.

PUMA and Cara’s yoga Exhale Collection will be available starting February 15th, on PUMA.com, PUMA Stores, and selected retailers worldwide.
