Could it be the Start of a PUMA Speedcat Summer?
Spotted out and about on IT-Girl Emily Ratajkowski, could it be the start of a PUMA Speedcat Summer?
As we’re all aware, the internet is very good at making things go viral. Playing a significant role in the overwhelming success of footwear models like the adidas Samba and Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, the impact of the influencer is undeniable. Kim K gets spotted in the Air Max Pink Foam, and sales increase by 200%. Molly Mae posts a pic in the adidas Handball Spezial, and they fly off shelves. It’s madness!
However, we’re here to let you know that there’s a new contender on the scene, deriving from PUMA’s 1999 archive. If you’re not familiar with the silhouette, allow us to introduce you to the PUMA Speedcat – a sleek low-profile model that’s returning to make big waves. Paying homage to the German-based brands long-standing connection to motorsports, the shoe was originally created for Formula One drivers; given a fireproof finish ready for the track. With the brand also pushing the Palermo silhouette over the past year, it’s clear that the brand has its sights set on dominating street style this SS24.
Breaking into the streets with its cool demeanour and versatile edge, the nostalgic Speedcat has great potential to be the next IT-shoe. And hey, if it’s good enough for Emily Ratajkowski, it’s good enough for us.
A Closer Look at the PUMA Speedcat…
Boasting an aerodynamic look that translates its innate agility, the Speedcat showcases a lightweight upper. Typically constructed of leather, suede or synthetic materials, you can take confidence in a snug fit for support with every step. In terms of tech, a patterned rubber outer delivers unparalleled traction on the move. And of course, the distinctive Formstripe proudly adorns the sidewalls, reminding us who we have to thank for this nostalgic gem.
Seamlessly combining a sporty persona with functionality that you can rely on, it could just be a Speedcat Summer!
