Introducing the PUMA Speedcat
First introduced in 1998 as a fireproof racing shoe for Formula One drivers, the PUMA Speedcat was engineered for precision, featuring a low-profile design, thin rubber sole, and rounded heel for optimal pedal feel.
In 1999, PUMA brought the Speedcat OG to the streets, and its sleek, motorsport-inspired look quickly gained traction - boosted by collaborations with icons like Michael Schumacher and elite teams such as Ferrari and Red Bull Racing.
More than two decades later, the Speedcat remains a standout in streetwear, celebrated for its fusion of performance heritage and timeless design. Modern reinterpretations, including high-profile collaborations with Naked Copenhagen and Balenciaga, have kept it fresh, while new releases like the Speedcat Ballet tap into the resurgence of Y2K style.
