Global sports company PUMA, in collaboration with Manchester City, has today launched an innovative AI kit design platform, giving City fans the unique opportunity to design the club’s official Third kit for the 2026/27 season.

In a first-of-its-kind, the new PUMA AI Creator tool is powered by DEEPOBJECTS, a leading co-creation platform that leverages generative AI to allow fans to design their dream PUMA Manchester City kits using text prompting, customization tools and intuitive sliders. By placing the tool in their hands, fans are invited to channel their passion and originality to create bold patterns and unique kit designs.

The winning AI design will be worn by City stars on-pitch and sold to fans, in a groundbreaking first for a professional football club.

Upon signing up, fans will get 15 free Design Credits and 2 Entries with the ability to unlock more Credits and Entries through rating other fan designs or being registered as Cityzens or PUMA NFT Holders.  

Fans can submit designs to the competition until 20th December when, along with the fan ratings, PUMA and Manchester City kit experts will shortlist their top ten designs. 

Public voting will then open in January, as fans will be asked to vote for the kit they want to see on-pitch as Manchester City’s Official Third kit for the 2026/27 season.


"PUMA AI Creator is one of the ways we see emerging technology bringing fans closer to the game they love," said Ivan Dashkov, Head of Emerging Marketing Tech at PUMA.

“As Manchester City continues to be one of the most successful renowned football clubs globally, both on and off the pitch, and they have been the perfect partner for PUMA to work with to introduce this groundbreaking AI platform. Together, we are intentionally creating innovative and inclusive ways to engage with fans. PUMA AI Creator is a creative outlet that anyone can use – regardless of their past design experience, location, or background – to make a huge cultural impact, in this case designing the official 2026/27 Third kit for Manchester City. 

Nuria Tarre, Chief Marketing & Fan Experience Officer for City Football Group said:
“Through the power of AI, we are delighted to offer fans this special opportunity to be a part of Manchester City history and design a kit that could one day be worn by their heroes on the pitch. Each City kit plays a fundamental role in connecting fans around the world to our club and we’re excited to see how they engage with this truly unique initiative.”

“Our enthusiasm for creating innovative and unique fan experiences is shared by PUMA, who continue to work with us to create memorable kits that represent our City, our club and our fans.”

PUMA AI Creator was first used by City players Ederson, Stefan Ortega and Rico Lewis who together designed a bespoke goalkeeper kit, the first-ever AI manufactured football kit to be worn on pitch, creatively inspired by the net of a football goal. The goalkeeper kit will be available for sale in limited quantities and will be seen on-pitch later this season.

PUMA AI Creator officially launches on Monday 9th December and will be open for fans to submit kit designs until Friday 20th December. The top ten designs will then be unveiled for voting in January.

AC Milan 125th Year Anniversary Kit
Herzogenaurach, Germany, December 5th, 2024
PUMA AND AC MILAN CELEBRATE 125 YEARS OF THE ROSSONERI WITH A SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY KIT VOTED FOR BY THE FANS

Global sports company PUMA and AC Milan today proudly unveil the highly anticipated 125th Anniversary kit, a celebration of Rossoneri heritage and innovation, designed by fans and crafted for greatness. Voted on by loyal AC Milan supporters through an immersive competition, the new kit embodies the timeless style and Milanismo spirit that the Club has championed since its founding in 1899.

The 125th Anniversary Capsule Collection includes the Authentic Player Jersey, Goalkeeper Jersey, Retro Football, and a special limited-edition Retro Style Jersey. In homage to the Club's founding year, only 1,899 units of this retro-style jersey will be available, each with a unique serial number and exclusive packaging - a true collector's item for dedicated fans.

The design journey began last December when AC Milan fans were invited to shape the Club’s legacy by choosing key elements of the 125th Anniversary jersey. Through the ‘Design our Jersey, Design our Legacy’ campaign and a bespoke platform, fans made design choices that reflect key moments in AC Milan’s history:

  • The broad stripe design first appeared on the Rossoneri jersey in the 1950s and later became synonymous with the Club’s most iconic international victories, especially from the late 1980s onward

  • The badge featured on the kit pays homage to the Club’s very first official emblem, dating back to its foundation in 1899 as the Milan Football & Cricket Club. This nod to tradition reflects the vision of Herbert Kilpin, who, as an Englishman, brought his cultural heritage by establishing a Club that celebrated both football and cricket

  • The Diavoletto (Little Devil), an emblematic symbol of AC Milan during the 1980s, is printed inside the jersey, accompanied by the inscription AC Milan 125, marking this momentous milestone in the Club’s history

AC Milan Fan Token holders on Socios.com also played a role, voting on a unique detail to be printed on the numbers on the back of the jersey. This innovative, fan-driven approach has resulted in a kit that not only honors AC Milan’s storied past, but also looks confidently to its future. Chosen entirely by the fans, this kit stands as a truly special symbol of the Club’s history, passion, and unity, making it a celebration of the deep connection between AC Milan and its supporters.

Franco Baresi AC Milan Honorary Vice President said: ““This jersey is a reflection of AC Milan’s soul - its passion, its history, and the vision for its future. As someone who has proudly represented this Club for 50 years in many different roles, this milestone represents a moment of celebration and unity for the entire Rossoneri family. The 125th Anniversary is a testament to the values and spirit that make AC Milan extraordinary, and this kit is a beautiful way to honour our journey while celebrating the unwavering bond with our fans.”

Engineered with PUMA’s dryCELL technology, the Authentic Player Jersey is crafted to keep players cool and comfortable, performing at the highest level while embodying the essence of Milanismo. Reflecting PUMA’s commitment to sustainability, the jersey is made with 100% recycled materials, excluding trims and decorations.

The limited-edition Retro Style Jersey, made from premium cotton, is a nostalgic nod to classic football aesthetics, with each piece bearing a unique serial number - an exclusive emblem of AC Milan’s enduring legacy. Completing the collection is the Retro Football, a modern take on AC Milan’s vintage football design. 

In a nod to retro style, both the men’s and women’s First Teams will wear jerseys featuring only numbers on the back. Additionally, the jersey will be available exclusively in a long-sleeve version, including the ones worn by players on the pitch, and will not feature any sponsor logos aside from the PUMA logo on the left shoulder, further enhancing its vintage appeal.

Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport, added: “The 125th Anniversary kit is not only a celebration of AC Milan’s past but also a tribute to the unwavering passion of its fans. We’re honored to have worked with the Rossoneri faithful to create something that’s not only a piece of football history but also designed for performance and pride.”

Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, commented: This kit is more than just a jersey – it’s a testament to the bond between AC Milan and its fans and to the strong partnership between our Club and PUMA. To have our supporters play such a vital role in its creation underlines our commitment to placing them at the heart of everything we do. 

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our jersey sponsors, Emirates and MSC, Banco BPM and TIM for waiving their right to be present on the AC Milan jersey for this game. Their gracious support of this initiative reflects their deep understanding of the importance of this milestone, and the Club truly appreciates and values this incredible gesture.”

The 125th Anniversary kit will make its on-pitch debut on 15th December when the men’s First Team take on Genoa, the pinnacle of the Club’s celebrations for its milestone, with fans witnessing the realization of their vision as their design comes to life at the San Siro. The women’s First Team will also showcase the special kit during the Derby against city rivals on 8th December at the PUMA House of Football, adding to the Club's historic celebrations.

To celebrate the launch of this Anniversary kit and share the moment with its global fanbase, AC Milan and PUMA have organized two fan-focused events at PUMA Flagship Stores in Dubai, UAE, and Shanghai, China. Reflecting the Club's international spirit, legend Roberto Donadoni will meet fans in Dubai on 8th December, while Honorary Vice President Franco Baresi will greet supporters in Shanghai on 11th December.

The Anniversary kit was officially unveiled yesterday in Milan during an exclusive event held at the Club’s Flagship Store in Via Dante, in the heart of Milan, during which AC Milan legends, VIPs, and media had the opportunity to see the jersey for the first time.

The AC Milan 125th Anniversary kit will be available on PUMA.com, AC Milan Official Stores, on store.milan.com, and select retailers worldwide from Thursday 5th December.

MOSTRO CAMO
Herzogenaurach, December 4th, 2024
PUMA CAMOUFLAGES THE MOSTRO FOR ITS LATEST RELEASE

The PUMA Mostro embarks on a new covert operation, introducing the Mostro “Camo” pack.

Equipped with clandestine colorways, the Mostro is painted with two woodland camouflage schemes, one with monochromatic black and white tones, the second adopting earthy green and brown hues. This edition of the Mostro is rounded out with premium suede on the Formstrip, adding a stylistic touch to the technical low-top.

This latest duo follows up on previous limited Mostro releases like the “Ecstasy” pack and archive-inspired pack.

First introduced to the world ahead of the turn of the millennium in 1999, the Mostro is named after the Italian word for monster, which evokes the shoe’s hybrid design that is

inspired by the sprinting spikes of the '60s and the beach-ready surfing shoes of the '80s. An unmistakable design that bridges old and new, past and present, the low-profile silhouette comes with a signature spiked sole and utilitarian strap closure.

The PUMA Mostro “Camo” pack is available starting December 7, 2024, on PUMA.com and from selected retailers.

PUMA INVERSE
Herzogenaurach, December 3th, 2024
PUMA’S INNOVATIVE INVERSE SNEAKER WAS DESIGNED WITH AID FROM ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE

Carving out a new experimental path for sneaker design, PUMA introduces the new Inverse sneaker, designed with aid from AI.

PUMA designers brought feasibility, functionality, and reality to an AI-made concept built on performance models from the PUMA archive. With the Inhale as the archival observation, AI as artificial interpretation, and lastly the designer for human refinement, the Inverse was born.

Rebellious at its core with a progressive edge, the Inverse’s design is rooted in PUMA’s heritage but breaks new ground with features like a midsole cage and ProFoam cushioning. The silhouette makes its debut with a red mesh upper, complemented by dark amethyst and black accents.

Describing the process, Lead Product Line Manager at PUMA, Scottie Gurwitz revealed, “Inverse is a deep dive into a new design mindset. Our goal was to bridge the human experience with experimental technology. AI doesn’t abide by the same rules as human designers, and that can help us see things in new ways and be a good experimental tool for us as we move through the design process.”

PUMA’s Global VP of Creative Direction and Innovation Heiko Desens added, “In our design process, AI is very new in terms of our creative exploration and in terms of communicating ideas. At first there was a feeling of uncertainty about the impact of it to our community, but the fascination and new possibilities have taken over. I am stunned by the granular level of the output, and as creatives, we have a new precision tool to level up our design work”.

The creative campaign also employs the use of AI, supported by 3D and generative AI specialist Leilanni Todd of Floam World who depicts the innovative Inverse inside a world of elevated product imagery.

The PUMA Inverse launches on December 7, 2024, from PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores, and selected retailers.

Inspired by McLaughlin’s playful and function-inspired design ethos, her unique Suede iteration comes with a detachable lace shroud that doubles as a wallet.

McLaughlin’s bricolage interpretation of the classic 1968 silhouette is created with 14% deadstock materials and 57% manufacturing leftovers on the upper, in keeping with the American creative’s eye for upcycled aesthetics and expertise in the world of upcycling.
