Driven by urban dynamics

“Driven by urban dynamics” was the concept presented in style at yesterday’s launch event for the first high-end sportswear collection from Porsche Design and PUMA. The Kühlhaus Berlin event space offered the perfect setting for various performances, staged to showcase the progressive and dynamic nature of the collection.

The two brands complement each other perfectly, bringing together success stories and experiences from the world of motorsport in this new partnership. The timeless, technically inspired design and premium know-how from Porsche Design combines with PUMA’s sports expertise to create the perfect synergy, as can be seen in the collection in the form of innovative cushioning systems for sports shoes, ultra-light materials and taped seams. 

The principle of being “ready to react” underpins the entire range, which includes active wear and leisure sportswear plus sports-inspired statement looks. The collection sets new functional and trend-setting benchmarks thanks to innovative features and materials, including Dual Thermo-R technology, which responds to skin temperature, breathable evoKNIT material, used to create functional knitted zones, PUMA CELL technology plus unique Hybrid and Jamming cushioning systems. Technical details, cut-outs and dynamic patterns enhance the visual identity of the collection.

The new Porsche Design x PUMA collection will be available from March 1, 2019, in Porsche Design stores and online at www.porsche-design.com and at www.puma.com.
