From the home of timeless fashion, nothing says football heritage like the red and black stripes of AC Milan, synonymous with success, passion, and style – from the turf to the streets since 1899. 

Where red meets black, football meets family, with the classic colors portraying a visual representation of the human genome – the essence of the Milanismo. It represents the passion that flows like blood through the veins of fans, a tradition passed on through generations, and donned by some of the greatest to ever play the game.

The classic style of the new jersey, with its red and black stripes and white details, is a nod to the 125 years of history of the Club, also celebrated through a dedicated patch on the back of the jersey – which will be present in all PUMA kits this season. PUMA's design ethos contained within this kit embodies a fusion of heritage and modernity, creating a kit that is not only iconic but also a testament to AC Milan's enduring legacy. A defining feature of this new kit is the inscription “Social Club Institution” on the inner collar, symbolizing the Club's steadfast dedication to social issues and underscoring AC Milan's role as a social and cultural institution committed to fostering positive societal change, in line with its values.

Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, commented: “AC Milan's new Home kit is a testament to our rich heritage and the enduring legacy of Milanismo, which is able to bring together over 500 million fans across the globe. This jersey truly embodies the spirit of passion, dedication, and innovation that defines our Club. We are proud to unveil this special kit, which symbolizes our commitment not only to football excellence but also to our role as a social and cultural institution."

The Authentic jersey is what that story will be told in, to be worn by the players on the pitch of the San Siro, and by fans around the world, made with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and friction, and features an athletic fit for elite-level performance.

The new 2024/25 AC Milan Home kit will make its debut on the pitch during the final Home match of the season at the San Siro against Salernitana and will also be worn by the men’s First Team during their friendly game against AS Roma in Perth, Australia on the 31st May.

The 2024/25 AC Milan Home kit will be available from 23rd May at PUMA stores and on PUMA.com and in all AC Milan Official Stores, on store.milan.com and at select retailers worldwide.

Buckle up because PUMA are pushing the ULTRA into another gear giving you the speed and sensation of a finely tuned machine at your feet. Built on engineering insights from decades of motorsport and collaboration with some of the fastest Formula One teams to ever tear up the track, the new ULTRA 5 will take you into the future of football boots.

Infused with a brand-new SPEEDSYSTEM carbon outsole and FastTrax stud design with a full carbon fibre plate, the new ULTRA feels like a speed machine, engineered to take you from kick-off to back of the net faster than you can say: Lights Out.

Speaking on the first look of the ULTRA 5 Dominique Gathier, Senior Director Product Line Manager Teamsport Footwear said “We are thrilled to introduce the ULTRA 5 with a full carbon fibre outsole, a material we have been working with for many years, most famously Sergio Agüero’s league winning goal for Manchester City.

Dominique continued “The new ULTRA 5 CARBON Launch Edition is a lightweight beast that is like no other. This special launch edition will feature a full carbon fibre outsole base with an innovative new stud configuration for optimal sprinting, cuts and braking so you can change direction in an instant and explode in any direction before the defender can react. The ULTRA 5 features a lightweight mesh upper coupled with an all-new PWRTPE SQD support frame that stabilizes the foot inside the boot for an optimal fit for an unmatched weapon for speed.”

Romain Girard, Senior Director Innovation delved into the full carbon outsole and what this means for the new ULTRA 5.

“PUMA has a history of utilizing carbon in our football boots, but for the new ULTRA 5 we have changed things up and implemented it in a new way. Taking inspiration from our collaborations in motorsport, carbon is one of the most explosive and lightweight materials, used in many of the fastest cars in the world due to its incredible lightweight, speed properties. What is unique about our application is we have changed the weave pattern and direction of the fibres to create a unique application of the material for an explosive soleplate that will take speed to another level.”

PUMA continues to offer its Women’s Fit with a slimmer fit tailored to the anatomy of a woman’s foot, the ULTRA 5 CARBON Launch Edition is designed to enhance comfort and performance for female athletes, built different to support the women that make a difference on the pitch.

The limited-edition ULTRA 5 CARBON Launch Edition will be available on PUMA.com, at PUMA stores and specialist sports retailers from 20th May so catch them while you can. With the global launch later this summer.

The new Black & Yellow 2024/25 BVB Home kit is an embodiment of the Club's enduring legacy. Meticulously designed to fuse tradition with a sleek pinstripe flair, the kit stays true to Dortmund's roots while embracing the future.

Carsten Cramer, Managing Director of Borussia Dortmund, said " With this jersey, we are focussing on a real, classic and timeless design that reflects the culture of Borussia Dortmund, which has been shaped by generations of players and fans.”

Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, said "This kit is PUMA’s tribute to the timeless appeal of Borussia Dortmund. We're proud to present a Home kit that encapsulates BVB’s identity, with a nod to their storied past and an eye on their bright future. It is truly classic, just like the essence of BVB."

Marco continued, “For the first time from the start of the 2024/25 season our Club Replica jerseys are made using the RE:FIBRE initiative, this will feature 35 clubs and more than three million garments made from RE:FIBRE creating a more circular and sustainable way of producing football jerseys.”

The RE:FIBRE process focuses on textile waste as the primary source of material to create new textiles. The recycled material can be used for recycling again and again without losing quality – making RE:FIBRE a more long-term solution for recycling polyester textile waste.

The Replica jersey pairs that same match-worn look with dry-CELL sweat-wicking technology designed to keep you dry and comfortable. Ideal for both game day and everyday wear, the Replica jersey is made from PUMA’s innovative RE:FIBRE recycling technology and contains at least 95% recycled textile waste. The jersey is as much a fashion statement as an elite-level performance jersey.

The Authentic jersey will be worn by BVB’s players on the pitch, and by fans on the terraces around the world, made with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and friction, and features an athletic fit for elite-level performance.

The 2024/25 Borussia Dortmund Home kit and pre-match collection is available from 17th May, at PUMA stores, PUMA.com, BVB outlets at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, bvbonlineshop.com, and select retailers worldwide.

Manchester’s 0161 is more than a dialling code. You’ll see it written on lampposts, printed on t-shirts, and even tattooed on people. It’s a sense of what being Mancunian is all about – a sense of location, no matter where you are in the world.

This season, 0161 can be seen woven into the eye-catching trims of the 24/25 Home kit and the world is invited to wear it, experience it, and feel it. From East Manchester to Istanbul, Northern Quarter to Norway, Moss Side to the other side of the world.

Serena Gosling, Director of Integrated Fan Experience and Retail & Licensing, Manchester City said: “Every year our kits provide us with an opportunity to connect with our fans in Manchester, the UK and globally, as shirts and wider kit collections, are an increasingly popular token of fandom.  By incorporating '0161' in this year's Home kit - something that resonates so strongly with the City of Manchester - we're able to connect fans around the world with the club and our city in a different way.”

"We're also pleased that all of our Replica shirts are made using PUMA's RE:FIBRE initiative, as we continue to work towards a more sustainable future together.”

To celebrate the launch of the new Manchester City Home kit and the creativity and culture of Manchester, the new launch video featured Mancunian rapper Mikey Taylor (Tays) who wrote and performed the soundtrack for the MCR 0161 Home kit launch film.

Speaking about his involvement in the launch, Tays said “As a City fan, it is a dream come true to write and perform a track for the launch of the new Manchester City 24/25 Home kit, celebrating 0161 and what it is to be Mancunian. I love how it’s in the design of the shirt – it’s fresh, but still reflects what it means to be City. I hope fans around the world connect with the track, and I can’t wait to see the team walk out in this kit.” 

The Authentic jersey, to be worn by the likes of Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Alex Greenwood on the pitch, and by fans around the world, is made with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and friction, and features an athletic fit for elite-level performance.
