PUMA Cali

Introducing the PUMA Cali

First released in 1982 as a training sneaker, the PUMA Cali (originally called the California) was designed for versatility, featuring breathable nylon uppers, a perforated nubuck forefoot, and a dual-density sole that balanced cushioning with stability.
Its name is derived from the innovative 'California Technique', a construction method that increases flexibility by fusing the upper and sole into just two components. Endorsed by tennis legend Guillermo Vilas, the shoe quickly rose to prominence both on the court and as a casual streetwear staple.
Reintroduced in 2018 with modern updates, the Cali returned with a chunkier sole and refreshed materials, while still retaining the clean lines and sporty DNA that defined its original look. Stylish, comfortable, and rooted in heritage, the PUMA Cali remains a go-to choice for those who appreciate timeless design with a contemporary edge.
