The PUMA Speedcat OG is Racing Out of the Archives to Your Rotation

Available in classic Red and Black colourways, PUMA have waved the flags to signal a brand new era of Speedcat with refreshed, high speed Light Blue/ Navy and Haute Coffee / Frosted Ivory colourways.

It’s been over 25 years since the PUMA Speedcat transcended the racing grid to the streets of fashion cities around the world. Always known for its speed, precision, and unmatched performance, the silhouette’s origin story might have pragmatic foundations – designed as a fireproof footwear solution for Formula One drivers – but today it’s bringing all the heat to your rotation. Returning directly from the Big Cat archive, the Speedcat has been busy dominating socials, spotted on the feet of people around Melbourne and Sydney’s trendiest neighborhoods. Not only have PUMA resurrected the OG silhouette in its original Red and Black colourways, adding more chapters to the legacy racing shoe, it’s also been reimagined in two all new, refreshed versions that are ready to race you into this new era of PUMA Speedcat.

OG Red

When your shoes need to make a statement, you can never go wrong with a red sneaker – red goes harder and faster – especially when it comes to your ‘fit. There’s a reason it’s most synonymous with the Monaco grid and the streets of Paris Fashion Week: this cat loves the heat. A summer, or spring outfit for that matter can always do with a pop of red, whether you’re planning a day of life admin or an afternoon out at a swish wine bar. The Red OG can easily do both, keeping it classy it’s got a soft suede upper construction and is also fitted with a pure white Formstripe. Extra detail comes from the gold branded accents. Expert tip: accessorize your fit with red extras – think hat or bag – to curate a coordinated look.

OG Black

The slick black cat companion to its red hot counterpart, this stealthy classic will always have a place in sneaker history and on your shelves. With its black uppers suede uppers, the styling options are endless. You could choose to pair them up with an all-black outfit for date night – mix up the textures so you can really let the black suede contrast. You just have to kick back, relax and let that white Formstrip steal the show.

Haute Coffee/Frosted Ivory

You may be familiar with the OG Red and Black Speedcat colourways – now PUMA are waving the flags to signal a brand new phase of the classic colourway with new ones. Entering the race is their new Haute Coffee/Frosted Ivory colourway.

Light Blue/Navy

Everyone needs a reliable, go-to pair of sneakers, and coming straight for first place is PUMA’s latest Light Blue/Navy iteration. A classic colour combination never before seen on the model, this colourway is potentially their boldest yet.
