Sneaker designs from brand archives are currently all the rage - and so might be the PUMA Speedcat. The model was first launched on the market in 1998 and has been firmly anchored in motorsport ever since. Is the silhouette now also finding its hype in street style? We check out the sneaker in detail here!
The history of the PUMA Speedcat
The PUMA Speedcat was created especially for Formula 1 drivers and has therefore had its roots in motorsport since 1998. One year later, in 1999, PUMA entered into a partnership with the Italian company SPARCO. This company specialises in the design, production and sale of racing shoes and everything that goes with motorsport.
Over 20 years later, the PUMA Speedcat is not only an integral part of many generations of motorsport, but is also worn as a streetwear sneaker. Thanks to its innovative and elegant design, the Speedcat has become a classic fashion attribute.
This is the PUMA Speedcat
The silhouette is characterised in particular by the SPARCO branding on the tongue, the PUMA No.1 logo on the side of the kick and the classic PUMA Formstrip. There is also a Cat logo on the heel of each PUMA Speedcat. As far as the upper is concerned, the design always comes with suede.
