THE ART OF THE PROCESS: NEW COLLECTION FROM PUMA AND MICHAEL LAU

Sports company PUMA and Hong Kong based artist Michael Lau are partnering together again for his first full collection of footwear, apparel and accessories, inspired by the creation of a product for a “SAMPLE” collection.

Based in Hong Kong, Michael Lau achieved worldwide acclaim for his collectible designer toy figures. Throughout the years, he has continually created timeless art pieces and is crowned as the “godfather of toy figures”. The inspiration behind the PUMA X MICHAEL LAU collection, “SAMPLE,” documents the mental journey of the creator, and expresses the interaction between the artist and the product. When working with PUMA, Michael’s aim is not to merely produce commercial products, rather, he is intrigued by the idea of exploring a concept as it begins from scratch to finally creating a masterpiece. That, he believes, is where the fun lies.

“Please enjoy and make fun out of the process of trial and error,” says Lau. “It may surprise you!” Michael hopes to remind everyone that sometimes mistakes will bring joy. According to his creative experience and understanding, when creating an item, no matter if it’s a figure or apparel or sneakers, the most amusing design may come from the designer or the factory technician’s unintentional mistakes. Facing these accidental miscalculations, most would dump the prototype and revise immediately. Michael, however, gladly embraces these mistakes. He observes the beauty of such “errors” from another angle and weaves these elements into his designs. His artistic perceptions are unveiled in the products for the PUMA X MICHAEL LAU collection. 

Collection pieces feature hand-drawn pencil graphics, graph paper textures, and other playful design references, resulting in products with a hand-made inspired look and feel. Prints and details play around the idea of a "work in progress" collection, while graphics inspired by Lau’s figures add a personal touch to the pieces. Many items are adorned with phrases like “Reverse,” “Too Long,” and “Too Small”. These are common words used by factories, which highlights the explorative nature of the "SAMPLE” collection.

Bringing these unique design touches to life, the Mirage Mox features a graph paper inspired print alongside bright pops of color. The Ralph Sampson Mid is adorned with digital prints and mismatched color accents on the laces and tongue. Rounding out the footwear in the collection are similar takes on the Ralph Sampson Lo and RS-2K.

The Two-Face Track Jacket is the standout apparel piece, featuring a unique print with pencil mark graphics in a reversible style with a tall collar. The apparel range includes a variety of items that showcase the concept, like the Knit Pants with '"SAMPLE” patch work and the Women's Pocket Hoodie Dress with a kangaroo pocket on the back. Accessories complete the collection with items like a Flat Brim Cap with a detachable "PUMA SAMPLE STUFF" graphic and a Tote Bag that comes equipped for storage and comfort with unique graphic prints. 

Outfit yourself in wearable art when the PUMA x Michael Lau launches on PUMA.com, PUMA stores and select retailers on January 16th.

Sports company PUMA teams up with Peanuts for a new line of footwear, apparel, and accessories for adults and kids featuring Charles M. Schulz’s classic characters. The two iconic brands come together to create a fun collection revolving around sport and the Peanuts gang.

Classic PUMA styles are adorned with members of the Peanuts gang and scenes from basketball for the adult items in this collection. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock make an appearance on most styles, while Lucy, Linus, and Sally also appear on items like the Women’s Crew Neck and Women's and Men's Tees. The clothing in the collection offers comfy, classic PUMA styles for both men and women in a range of tees, hoodies, and sweatpants. The footwear includes the Future Rider and a basketball classic, the Ralph Sampson. Rounding out the adult items in the range are beanies and a backpack. 

The kid's Peanuts collection encompasses the characters playing a wider range of sports, including baseball, soccer and more. In a variety of items for girls and boys, the collection includes items such as hats, backpacks, and classic T7 track suits. Key footwear like the Mirage Mox and Ralph Sampson are available in Junior, Preschool, and Infant sizing.

PUMA AND NEYMAR JR. INVITE YOU INTO THE WORLD OF FUTURE Z

Sports company PUMA has today presented the groundbreaking new FUTURE Z 1.1 football boot. Prepare to LOCK IN and DRIVE THEM CRAZY with the GAME.ON. edition of the FUTURE Z, to be worn by the world’s most dynamic and creative playmakers – Neymar Jr., James Maddison, Eugénie le Sommer, Marco Reus and Dzsenifer Marozsán.

The FUTURE Z has been engineered to enhance the playing style of the world’s most exciting and entertaining players. Built around an adaptive FUZIONFIT+ compression band, the boot provides optimal lock-in and support for explosive movements. The upper is made from an innovative new knitted material coated with a thin layer of GripControl Pro to provide superior touch and ball control. A cutting-edge new Dynamic Motion System outsole has been developed for advanced traction to drive the opposition crazy.

“The biggest innovation of the FUTURE Z is the FUZIONFIT+ compression band, placed at the mid-foot,” said Lilly Cocks, Developer Teamsport Footwear. “The band was developed using a special combination of polyester and spandex yarns, along with special technical yarns to create the perfect balance of compression, comfort and durability, giving the wearer that second-skin feeling.”

PUMA continues to push boundaries with the FUTURE Z by developing a lightweight new tooling system – the Dynamic Motion System outsole. The eye-catching Z-shaped soleplate reduces weight, provides 360-degree lock-in around the foot and maintains a stable plate for playmakers to perform devastating accelerations, movements and skills. 

The FUTURE Z has been designed with the help of medical staff from some of PUMA’s top clubs from around the world to ensure the boot has the optimal stud configuration, including the placement of the middle stud at the pivot point of the boot to enhance rapid changes of direction. 

“Fit and comfort are essential for agile, creative playmakers. To support this type of player we developed the outsole from a super lightweight PEBA material that has undergone vigorous testing through the development stage. During 20-meter agility tests, players achieved on average 3% faster times when wearing the FUTURE Z in comparison to wearing its predecessor,” said Florian Nemetz, Senior PLM Manager Teamsport Footwear. “The boot has been developed using key insights and analysis which has enabled us to innovate and evolve the FUTURE silo, whilst maintaining the FUTURE DNA.” 

LOCK IN and DRIVE THEM CRAZY with the PUMA FUTURE Z football boot, launching in the yellow-alert and PUMA black GAME.ON. colorway. Available on pre-sale from January 11th at PUMA.com and specialist football accounts, with the global release on January 21st at PUMA.com, PUMA stores and at leading football retailers worldwide.

PUMA’S PROVOKE XT WORN BY DANNA PAOLA
One of PUMA’s most dynamic shoes is certainly Provoke XT. This women’s training silhouette designed to challenge standards of conventional athletic design was constructed for optimum performance on the inside while offering a head-turning style on the outside.

Provoke XT was created for women who aren’t afraid to take risks, that’s why it made sense to have Mexican singer, actress and PUMA’s brand ambassador Danna Paola be the face of this bold silhouette. It features an aggressive geometric midsole, a TPU jewel piece in the midfoot and heel for stylish support, a secure fit to support during your workouts, and an eye-catching monochromatic look.

Danna Paola shared her thoughts on Provoke during her last shoot with PUMA. “Provoke XT gives me confidence in myself; I feel empowered when I wear them. One of the most important things is that they are very comfortable, as I can wear them throughout the day, from my rehearsals to the gym and at home. They offer the best of two worlds – performance and style, which makes it a perfect match for me.”

The key benefits of this instant head-turner are:

  • STABILITY: TPU midfoot piece adds control during gym workouts.
  •  COMFORT: PROFOAM midsole provides instant, lightweight cushioning.
  • GRIP: zoned outsole offers maximum traction and durability during training movements.

Recreate Danna’s look when Provoke XT drops globally on January 7th on PUMA.com, PUMA Stores, and selected retailers worldwide.

MICHAEL LAU TRANSFORMS THE CREATIVE PROCESS INTO AN EXQUISITE “SAMPLE” SUEDE
Sports company PUMA is working with the godfather of toy figures, Michael Lau, again for the third time for another special edition of the PUMA Suede.The two previously worked together on a SAMPLE SUEDE by Michael Lau in 2017 and for PUMA’s SUEDE 50 series in 2018.

The PUMA x Michael Lau Suede VTG will continue to ride on the theme from his last two iterations of the Suede, taking inspiration from the idea of a “sample” sneaker and the creative process. The zig-zag finishing of fabric samples are stitched on the shoes to create an asymmetrical industrial style that delivers an experimental feeling. The sneakers are bright and give a festive feel with the poppy red color. Other design details include different shades of color on the left and right shoes, which manifests Lau’s deliberate “mismatched colorway” concept.

Lau’s WORTH CAT Figure, inspired by the PUMA Cat logo, will once again be in the limelight of this crossover project. Just like before, sample fabric is the main material in use and the figure is made in red, yellow, white and black versions. A very limited amount of these special edition
figures will be given out for seeding and with purchase in Hong Kong and Taiwan China. Based in Hong Kong, Michael Lau achieved worldwide acclaim for his collectible designer toy figures. Throughout the years, he has continually created timeless art pieces and is crowned as the “godfather of toy figures”.

on December 22nd. The full collection from PUMA and Michael Lau will be released in January
2021.
