PUMA Drops Football Inspired Collection with Trapstar

The latest PUMA x Trapstar collection outfits archive sportswear silhouettes with utilitarian details, adding their tough-as-nails attitude to streetwear.

With PUMA’s rich sport heritage and continued presence in teamsport paired with Trapstar’s passion for the game, it only comes natural for football to serve as the inspiration for the range. Styles show clever touches and familiarities to archive football gear, from jerseys to warm-up wear. Trapstar mashes performance gear and their street-style aesthetics to the game, resulting in a collection made for running the streets.

Linking the collection together are graphics that will seem familiar to every Trapstar fan. Their trademark ‘White Noise’ or black-and-white speckled print is rendered into several styles, such as the PUMA x TRAPSTAR Savannah and PUMA x TRAPSTAR Tee that serves as an accent running down the side. Trapstar put their stamp on the PUMA x Trapstar Clyde & PUMA x Trapstar Clyde Perforated by inking their script on the Formstrip of the classic court sneaker.

Trapstar re-imagines PUMA’s latest progressive sneaker, the Tsugi, with the PUMA x Trapstar TSUGI Blaze. Amping up its presence to the next level, the upper is wrapped in premium paneled leather sock construction with gothic Trapstar branding on the heel. All atop the futuristic TSUIGI mid and outsole reinforced by the IGNITE cushioning system inserted in between.

The latest PUMA x Trapstar collection is available at PUMA SELECT stores and selected retailers.

PUMA and Trapstar have focused on neutral tones like Burnt Olive, White and Black for this range.  

The collection’s apparel includes all of the essentials infused with Trapstar’s underground subcultural influences, creating stand out pieces through reinventing classics. The archive parka (R5 999) has been reworked with premium utilitarian details, from the cut lines and stitching, to patch sleeve pockets.

For Autumn-Winter ’16, PUMA launches a collaborative collection with London-based lifestyle label, Trapstar. Teased in June with an exclusive PUMA Disc Blaze drop bearing the signature Trapstar “White Noise” graphic speckled sole, this season’s range includes footwear and apparel that combine street fashion, PUMA’s sports-inspired styles and the Trapstar crew’s passion for football.

As far as Trapstar is concerned, there is a star trapped inside everyone.  Forged from underground subculture, this London-based lifestyle brand – and its founders, Mike, Lee and Will – takes its influence from iconic cinema, photography, music, and contemporary art. Transcending the ethos of the brand through designs that follow true inspiration, not trends. Teaming up with PUMA, they remix their vision of streetwear inspired pieces with PUMA’s iconic sports silhouettes. Bold red hues, subtly contrasting details, and athletic elements update familiar designs while giving an edge to fresh apparel.

In the mix we have the return of court favorites, the Suedes (R1 799) though in a more simplistic approach, bearing the co-branded logo.

Teaming a classic football kit with fearless street style, The PUMA x Trapstar Bib (R2 199) is a lightly padded vest that echoes the Trapstar identity with its tonal camo treatment.
