South Korean designer Juun.J and PUMA have unveiled their second footwear collaboration, following last year's Plexus sneaker release. The new collection features the Speedcat silhouette in both high and low-top versions, adapting PUMA's motorsport heritage through Juun.J's minimalist lens.
The redesigned models showcase an armor-like upper construction with refined lines emphasizing the toe area. PUMA's signature Formstrip appears with curved edges, while co-branded details complement the design. The shoes feature tire-inspired sole patterns, connecting to the Speedcat's Formula 1 racing origins.
Both versions come in shadow colorways, aligning with Juun.J's characteristic dark palette and functional high-end aesthetic. The designer maintained the original performance elements while introducing architectural updates to the classic silhouette.
The PUMA x Juun.J Speedcat collection is now available at select retail locations. This release marks the continuation of a partnership that merges PUMA's sporting legacy with Juun.J's contemporary design approach.
