The PUMA Speedcat Go Is Ready for All Summer Shenanigans

PUMA is unequivocally a sportswear company, innovating for basketball, track, and football's biggest stages. And while the German company shows no signs of pausing its innovative efforts, it continues to sprinkle in lifestyle-oriented products into its offerings. The latest example arrives in the form of the Women's Speedcat Go, yet another update to the iconic silhouette.

First launched in 1999 as fireproof footwear for Formula 1® drivers, the PUMA Speedcat has become a go-to style for countless women across Paris, New York City, and other fashion hubs across the globe. The sports-informed design has gotten reimagined plenty of times over the last 26 years, but recent history has seen it reinterpreted through the lens of women's trends.

The Speedcat Ballet, for example, ditches most of the model's robust build in favor of a laceless update firmly rooted in the balletcore aesthetic. The silhouette's Speedcat Go iteration draws from similar inspiration, re-crafting PUMA's beloved shoe with mesh panels and a bungee lacing system. Both modifications allow for increased breathability and a refreshing, fashion-forward aesthetic sure to win over fans of the original.

Underfoot, the newest offering rooted in PUMA heritage maintains its tire-reminiscent rubber outsole, ensuring reliable grip with every step.

Enjoy official photos of the Speedcat Go's inaugural 'Black/White' and 'Red/White' colorways below. Both women's pairs will release via PUMA.com on Saturday, March 15, for a budget-friendly $90. Additional styles of the Speedcat's latest update are expected to release throughout summer.
