Spotted: PUMA Speedcats sported all summer long

Having risen above the noise of the vintage sneaker revival era that was 2024, the PUMA Speedcat raced for first place this summer festival season, and as predicted, secured the top spot as the standout shoe spotted on the feet of local trendsetters.

Pulled from the PUMA archives for its 25th anniversary, the motorsport-inspired sneaker became a staple in the wardrobes of fashion frontrunners worldwide. With the likes of Dua Lipa and Rosé co-signing, the Speedcat was fast to take over our feeds, quickly turning from a nostalgic throwback to a modern icon.

The low-profile sneaker trend dominated 2024, and the Speedcat effortlessly claimed the spotlight with its ability to pair perfectly with elevated streetwear. Minimalist design? Check. Versatile styling? Double-check. Affordable price? PUMA nailed it, making the Speedcat a staple for fashion enthusiasts seeking both chic and practical footwear. 

More than just its looks, the PUMA Speedcat has all the features to be the ultimate summer staple within anyone’s wardrobe. Sporting a comfortable, lightweight sole, it’s built for those long days on your feet, making the Speedcat the perfect shoe for festival-goers.

Originally available in bold red and sleek black, the PUMA Speedcat has stepped up its style game with fresh shades like pink blush, and brown. With fresh colourways, trendsetters are given the perfect excuse to reimagine the Speedcats timeless silhouette, making it even easier to style the Speedcat with any look, mood or vibe.

Gaining traction in the world of high-fashion and appearing in street-style shots around the world, the girls at Remix predict the shoe to be spotted at Auckland’s upcoming Laneway Festival. With its ability to pair with almost any look, it’s an easy choice for Laneway attendees seeking comfort and steeze. 

Keen to show the versatility of the Speedcat, Remix team members, Monique and Georgia took their hand at styling the shoe ahead of the next product drop, conveniently landing on February 6th, boasting a whole new range of colours including Dark Myrtle and Archive Gold—just in time for Laneway!
