PUMA is a long-standing staple in sports footwear, but its latest collaboration with LaQuan Smith brings a new, high-fashion perspective.

Building on the success of their debut collection in February 2023, both brands return with a new lineup inspired by the glamour of the boxing ring. These pieces reinterpret classic athletic silhouettes with a refined, elevated edge -- featuring cropped jackets, fluid boxing shorts and a reimagined take on the classic Speedcat sneaker.

The capsule introduces two versions of the shoe: the Speedcat Mid and a high-ankle boxing sneaker -- a nod to the collection's fighter-chic aesthetic. This shoe is the undisputed star of the collaboration and features a red-padded satin high-top that feels equal parts opulent and ready for action. With a silver PUMA cat logo on the tongue and a metallic detail on the heel, it's a knockout in every sense.

Beyond footwear, the capsule delivers statement-making pieces designed for movement and impact. Tear-away pants, sports bras, fitted shorts and cropped jackets get an elevated makeover with luxe satin finishes and studded graphics, balancing sportiness with undeniable allure.

The PUMA x LaQuan Smith collection is available for purchase from March 15 on PUMA's official website.
