Sport and style have combined in a creative collaboration. Balenciaga and Puma have teamed up, and showcased their debut collection at Paris Fashion Week. The pieces draw inspiration from football and motorsports, and an expanded collection will follow later this year.
Paris Fashion Week ran from 3 to 11 March, 2025. The Balenciaga x Puma collaboration combined the best of both brands. Smart sweatsuits are adorned with Balenciaga’s lion logo. The collection includes bomber jackets, hoodies that zip up, and tracksuits that hark back to the 1990s. Accessories include caps, gloves, footwear and shopping bags.
At the heart of the Balenciaga x Puma collection is the take on the Puma Speedcat. The Ultrasoft Speedcat echoes Puma’s original Speedcat, and comes in a racing silhouette. The new piece comes in white, navy blue and black. The upper soul offers a worn-out, distressed look, and comes in suede. Plus, the logos includes the Formstrip in the middle and Balenciaga branding.
Balenciaga was founded in San Seabasitan, Spain. In the early 20th century, it expanded to Barcelona and Madrid. Today, the headquarters can be found in Paris, France. It designs ready-to-wear footwear, handbags and accessories.
Puma’s headquarters can be found in Herzogenaurach, Germany. The company was originally created by the brothers, Adolf Dassler and Rudolf Dassler. In 1948, they decided to part ways, and adidas was born. Over the years, its iconic shoes include The Suede, which dropped in 1968, and Puma Cali, which offered a more modern design.
