Tall grass, wildflowers and a wool tracksuit. Not exactly what you'd expect from a sportswear drop, but that's kind of the point.
PUMA and JIL SANDER are back for their third chapter together, and this time they're going beyond trainers. The AW26 collection brings apparel into the partnership for the first time with a reworked T7 tracksuit, plus two new collaborative footwear styles: the Speedcat and the Suede. It's out now.
A Closer Look at the PUMA x JIL SANDER AW26 Collection...
Wait, PUMA and JIL SANDER Go Way Back?
They do. Back in 1998, JIL SANDER teamed up with PUMA to turn its football lace-ups into luxury leather trainers. At the time, luxury and sport rarely mixed, and the partnership set a quiet, refined tone that still feels ahead of its time.
After a long break, the two reunited in October 2025 under creative director Simone Bellotti with the KING AVANTI, followed by the K-STREET in April 2026. Now it's the turn of three proper PUMA archetypes.
The T7, But Make It Wool
The T7 dates back to 1968, when it launched as PUMA's very first apparel line. Fun fact: it's named after its 7-centimetre Formstrip.
JIL SANDER has given it a whole new silhouette. Think a boxy track jacket and tapered track pants, cut from a bi-stretch wool developed exclusively for the house. According to PUMA, it's fluid but structured, breathable and naturally thermo-regulating. The colour is Club Navy, also developed exclusively with JIL SANDER, finished with a brushed silver zip puller and a co-branded T7 woven label.
Both the jacket and the pants come in men's and women's versions:
PUMA x JIL SANDER T7 Track Jacket Men – £370
PUMA x JIL SANDER T7 Track Pants Men – £340
PUMA x JIL SANDER T7 Track Jacket Women – £370
PUMA x JIL SANDER T7 Track Pants Women – £340
Don't Forget the Extras
Completing the capsule is a relaxed, boxy long sleeve in PUMA White, made from a cotton and recycled polyester blend. PUMA UK is also stocking a co-branded baseball cap in Club Navy, which you can spot in the campaign too.
PUMA x JIL SANDER Long Sleeve Tee – £155
PUMA x JIL SANDER Baseball Cap – £185
An Archive Speedcat Returns
The Speedcat has had a massive couple of years, but this one goes back to the source. It's a reissue of the original JIL SANDER and PUMA archive design, now finished with an artisanal leather heel detail by Simone Bellotti and a full leather lining.
It comes in two clean options: all-black leather and all-white leather (listed by PUMA UK as PUMA White-Blue Jewel).
PUMA x JIL SANDER Speedcat Black – £400
PUMA x JIL SANDER Speedcat White – £400
And the Suede Gets a Leather Upgrade
The Suede has been a PUMA icon for more than five decades, and here it's reimagined in premium leather. Look closely and you'll notice the laces are hidden, which gives the whole thing a really clean finish. Add a refined outsole and full leather lining, and you've got a very grown-up take on a classic. It only comes in white.

Why Is Everyone Standing in a Field?
The campaign stars Meadow Walker alongside Barry Lawson, photographed by Guen Fiore and filmed by Lisa Rovner. The idea was to put city clothes somewhere completely unexpected.
"With this chapter I wanted to slow everything down," says Simone Bellotti. "We imagined a green field left to grow wild, with tall grass, weeds and wildflowers moving in the wind, and placed Meadow and Barry in it, dressed as if they had just stepped off a city street."
Honestly? It works. Navy wool against wild grass looks pretty great.
How about the Drop Date?
Good news: no waiting around. The PUMA x JIL SANDER AW26 collection dropped on 23 October at JIL SANDER and PUMA stores, as well as online at jilsander.com and PUMA, with select stockists following from 24 October.
Prices at PUMA UK range from £155 for the long sleeve to £400 for the Speedcat and Suede.
