PUMA unveils a fusion of style and speed with the Scuderia Ferrari Speedcat
Global sports company PUMA blends two legacies with the launch of the Scuderia Ferrari Speedcat collection. The footwear resembles PUMA Motorsport´s roots of the Speedcat and the heritage of the colors of Scuderia Ferrari´s Rosso Corsa.

No race team has been sticking to its brand color like Scuderia Ferrari. Since the beginning of their legacy in 1929 the cars livery has always been the remarkable Rosso Corsa. The red hue became the eye-catcher and signature characteristic of the Italian race team while other competitors amended their livery color according to e.g. sponsors. PUMA is working with Scuderia Ferrari since 2004 as the official team supplier. The global sports brand is paying homage to the partnership with the Maranello-based race team by re-releasing the signature Scuderia Ferrari Speedcat in Rosso Corsa.

Pure race attitude without compromising a classic look translates the PUMA x Scuderia Ferrari Speedcat into the perfect footwear to drive in style. The shoe is coming with the established low profile rubber outsole for a better grip on the pedals. The upper is featuring a premium suede embracing the classic silhouette of the Speedcat.

The signature PUMA x Scuderia Ferrari Speedcat is conquering the streets in two different colors. Besides the characteristic Rosso Corsa hue the shoe is dropping as well in PUMA Black. The logo of the most successful Formula One team in the history of Motorsport placed on the heel is inhaling additional Italian race flair to the shoe.

Watch out for the legacy of style and speed. The PUMA x Scuderia Ferrari Speedcat is available in PUMA stores and online on puma.com now.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE: PUMA REIMAGINES THE CLASSIC MIRAGE SHOE
Sports company PUMA’s newest product franchise, the Mirage, is adding a new perspective to a classic from the Archive. The Mirage Mox is the latest addition to PUMA’s growing selection of Futro styles, a mashup of retro sneakers with futuristic inspiration. Mirage Mox takes design cues from the '90s running shoe and transforms them for today’s sneakerheads. 

The Mirage has been in the PUMA family for close to half a century, first introduced as a lightweight track and field shoe and then reissued as a jogging shoe in the 1990s with a die-cut eva midsole.

Today’s revamped design brings a new perspective to street style with its Futro look. The Mirage Mox is inspired by the world of electronic music and DJs with trippy colors, eye-catching layers of materials, and futuristic elements. The iconic overlay on the forefoot is a direct link back to the Mirage OG and pays homage to the shoe's history but is redesigned to have a less retro-running look. Details like the unique TPU piece in the heel and bright accents of color bring a fresh take to this classic silhouette. 

Remix your style when the Mirage Mox drops on December 4th. Lookout for more futuristic styles in 2021, when additional colorways and new designs will join the growing Mirage family with a unique partnership that will bring its DJ inspiration to life.

Mirage Mox will be available on PUMA.com, PUMA stores, and select retailers worldwide.

Superwomen of the circus: puma and charlotte olympia debut second collection
Sports company PUMA and British luxury shoes and accessories brand, Charlotte Olympia, have come together again for collection of footwear, apparel and accessories inspired by the superwomen of the circus.

The second collaboration from PUMA and Charlotte Olympia honors the strong, beautiful and
different representations of femininity of superwomen of the circus, with a spotlight on
acrobats. A hula hoop performance by ‘The Amazing Amazi’ showcases the collection for the
campaign video, unifying the pieces and inspiration as one. Charlotte Olympia’s signature
whimsy and playfulness lend themselves perfectly to the theme, creating a fun and
inspiring PUMA x Charlotte Olympia collection.

The pieces include a mix of streetwear and sporty, tight-fitted silhouettes with circus-inspired finishings. Beautiful details like
embroidery, ruffles, and unique cut lines add a feminine touch to the dark silhouettes in black
and burgundy.

“With the second capsule collection, Charlotte Olympia and PUMA have shown again how to create super feminine and playful products,” said Heiko Desens PUMA’s Global Director of Design and Innovation. “Cool references to athletes from circus nostalgia give a refreshing ‘tongue-in-cheek’ feeling. I enjoy the way she creates a modern and young women’s style.”

The footwear features a mix of natural, soft materials with high shine meshes and metallics, brogue detailing, and ruffles on PUMA icons like the Pulsar, Cali Wedge, Mile Rider and Rise. The PUMA X Charlotte Olympia Rise comes in an all-black upper with playful details like satin ribbon laces, delicate ruffles on the lateral, leather overlays, and gold piping on the quarter.


Perhaps the most eye-catching piece in the collection, the PUMA x Charlotte Olympia
Jumpsuit, features a co-branded elastic waistband and twisted front construction. This
jumpsuit is made for any occasion with its v-neck, tight fit, and all-black construction.


Another standout piece in the collection, the PUMA x Charlotte Olympia Reversible Bomber
Jacket, is a glam-retro bomber jacket which has two options of being worn. One side is
burgundy with the PUMA Cat logo in a graphic all-over print, while the other side is all-black
with spider web quilting and “Charlotte Olympia” emblazoned across the back.

Another interchangeable piece in the collection, the PUMA x Charlotte Olympia Headband, is a knitted headband with gold threading. The piece can be worn two different ways: one side with turban knot detail to create a feminine retro look and the other with a woven label with the co-branded logo for a cleaner, sporty look. In a trend-relevant bucket silhouette, the PUMA x Charlotte Olympia Bucket Bag includes iconic Charlotte Olympia feline ‘Kitty’ embroidery and a quirky ear detail on the front pocket. The bag comes with a fully detachable and adjustable webbing shoulder strap and a short carry handle, also in webbing. A drawcord opening into the main compartment and zip pocket on the front makes for easy storage
solutions.

London-based footwear and accessories designer Charlotte Olympia Dellal founded her eponymous brand in 2008. Her luxurious and whimsical designs are known for their meticulous attention to detail, arresting use of color and feminine silhouettes.

THE SUPER MARIO 3D ALL-STARS™ COLLECTION BY PUMA IS HERE
The wait is over, the second drop of the PUMA and Super Mario™ collaboration is just a couple of days away, created to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Iconic Super Mario game elements such as colors, graphics, and fan-favorite characters are used throughout the collection.

The inspiration for this footwear and apparel collection comes from the Super Mario 3D All-Stars™ game featuring three of Mario’s greatest adventures, Super Mario 64™, Super Mario Sunshine™, and Super Mario Galaxy™. This exciting partnership features some of PUMA’s most distinctive silhouettes, Clyde, Future Rider, RS-Fast, and a version of J. Cole’s signature basketball shoe the RS-Dreamer. The apparel includes a selection of tees and sweatshirts that match the design inspiration of each shoe.

The Future Rider Super Mario 64 are inspired by Super Mario’s first 3D adventure. The upper design takes nods from Mario’s recognizable red and blue outfit, his trusty Wing Cap, and the game’s landscape color palette. Additional details include a set of bricks on the midsole, a wing embellishment on the heel, and a Super Mario 64 hangtag.

Mario’s adventures in the tropical Isle Delfino are the inspiration for the design of the Clyde and RS-Dreamer Super Mario Sunshine, the latter is court ready with PUMA Hoops technology. Both feature details from the water-filled game, like the F.L.U.D.D., the Shine Sprites, and overall color scheme. The Clyde Super Mario Sunshine also includes a Mario hangtag where he is seen holding his F.L.U.D.D.

In 2007 Super Mario Galaxy was released, a title that took Mario out of this world and transported him into deep space. The color palette for the RS-Fast Super Mario Galaxy is a mix of black, purple, white, and metallic silver with a galactic print. Mario’s sidekick, Luma, is clearly noticeable throughout the design.

 An exciting surprise that pays homage to Nintendo’s original console will drop early in December, the Future Rider Nintendo Entertainment System™ shoe will be available in infant, kids, and adult sizes. The grey, red, and black color scheme is a direct nod to the system’s design. The tag on the shoe’s tongue features the cover of the first-ever Super Mario Bros. game. Other fun embellishments include the Power and Reset buttons, and a hangtag shaped like the Classic NES™ Controller.

The Future Rider Super Mario 64, RS-Fast Super Mario Galaxy, and the Clyde and RS-Dreamer Super Mario Sunshine will be available starting Friday, November 27th. The Future Rider Nintendo Entertainment System shoe will be launching globally on Friday, December 4th.

All styles will be available on PUMA.com and select retailers worldwide, while the Clyde and RS-Dreamer Super Mario Sunshine will be available exclusively at U.S. Foot Locker stores and online.

Icons of Fast: PUMA and Porsche unveil a collection of shoes inspired by the 911 Turbo
Global sports company PUMA, in collaboration with Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), is launching a limited-edition collection of shoes inspired by the Porsche 911 Turbo. The entire set will include eight different sneakers to spotlight eight generations of the 911 Turbo sports car.

Generations of automotive enthusiasts have come to appreciate the heritage of the Porsche 911 Turbo. Establishing a new era in the 1970s, this icon set a benchmark for the sports car maker’s top-of-the-line 911 variant for its entire production. When the first turbo model was unleashed in 1975, it was the fastest production car in Germany. 

It was just a matter of time until PUMA and Porsche would cross paths to create a limited and unique footwear line celebrating the legacy of the eight generations of the Porsche 911 Turbo – an ideal match to the Puma motto “Forever Faster.” For the collaboration, PUMA selected its Future Rider and motorsport-inspired Speedcat silhouettes to create two limited collections: “Air-Cooled” and “Water-Cooled.” The Future Rider was chosen to represent the first four generations of air-cooled 911 Turbos, Type 930 3.0 L and 3.3 L, Type 964 and Type 993, and the Speedcat picks up the more recent variants, the Type 996, 997, 991 and 992.

“To see the Porsche heritage so seamlessly translated into the design language of PUMA has been a thrill,” said Pedro Mota, Vice President of Marketing, Porsche Cars North America, Inc. “Introducing a new generation of the 911 Turbo this summer was exhilarating, and working with PUMA to celebrate the occasion has allowed us to share our sports cars beyond our core enthusiasts.”

Anja Egger, Head of Business Unit Marketing PUMA Motorsport, explained: “When Porsche approached us to design a capsule to celebrate the iconic 911 sports car we were immediately taken by the idea. Our 70s inspired Future Rider silhouette perfectly captures the historic era of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 sports car, while the Speedcat is a true race inspired style capturing the slick lines of the water-cooled generations of 911. We are excited to release this capsule to Porsche and PUMA fans alike.”

The PUMA x Porsche collection will only produce 500 pairs per unique sneaker design across all sizes. Colors in the collection ranges from Palace Blue-Galaxy Blue to High Risk Red - PUMA Black and Golden-Rod to Glacier-Gray injecting the shoes with a jaw-dropping look. These provide a visual link to original Porsche vehicle hues including Riviera Blue, Guards Red, Saffron Yellow Metallic and GT Silver Metallic.

In creating the shoes, designers looked to the cars themselves. Drawing on popular period-specific paint colors and the iconic rear wing, to lightbars, interiors, and body lines. They were all used as inspiration to create a collection of shoes as loud, fast, and captivating as the 911 Turbo itself.

The shoes will retail for $150 per pair and are available online at us.puma.com, www.porsche-design.com/icons-of-fast, as well as in-stores at the PUMA flagship store in New York, Porsche Design stores in the greater Los Angeles and Miami areas, Houston and the Porsche Experience Centers in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Porsche and PUMA have worked together previously, as the sports company is the exclusive technical partner of Porsche Motorsport including the Porsche GT Team and TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team for fireproof racing clothing, team wear as well as shoes and luggage. Porsche Design also entered a strategic relationship with PUMA in 2019, resulting in seasonal collections of high-end sportswear, footwear and accessories.
