Step Into the Ring with LaQuan Smith’s Bold, Boxing-Inspired Collection for Puma
Hey friends, have you heard about the LaQuan Smith x Puma collab? If not, you’re about to get a crash course in why this collection is seriously making waves. On March 10, Puma dropped a major bombshell, revealing that they’ve teamed up once again with the NYC-based designer, LaQuan Smith. But this time, they’re taking their collaboration to the boxing ring, literally and figuratively.
Boxing Meets Luxury: The Perfect Fusion
Puma has been on a roll with its partnerships lately, bringing fresh energy with stars like Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and even Vogue. And their ongoing collaboration with LaQuan Smith is no exception. After the success of their first collaboration, the two are back with a bang — and this time, they’re all about boxingcore.
In LaQuan’s own words, boxing represents strength, endurance, and discipline — values that he’s worked hard to embody in this collection. The designs reflect these ideals while still staying true to his signature style: sleek, confident, and a little bit sensual. Whether you're hitting the gym or just strutting through the city, this line is all about empowering you to feel fierce.
Key Pieces You’ll Want to Grab
The collection is packed with athleisure essentials, including tear-away pants, cropped jackets, and workout shorts. If you're into bold pieces with a bit of edge, you'll love the striking colors, satin finishes, and studded graphics that scream “power and sophistication.” LaQuan’s attention to detail is evident in every stitch, from body-contouring silhouettes to high-shine finishes that elevate these pieces into high-fashion territory.
But the real star of the show? The Speedcat Sneakers, of course. These legendary kicks, which first hit the market in 1999, were originally inspired by Formula 1 racing boots. Fast forward to today, and they’ve become a street style staple worn by Emily Ratajkowski, Jennifer Lawrence, and Dua Lipa. LaQuan Smith has given the Speedcats a makeover, adding lace-up calf-high detailing straight from the boxing ring. This small but impactful change adds a unique edge to a classic sneaker, making them the perfect blend of sport and luxury.
A Collaboration Built for Confidence and Movement
The relationship between LaQuan Smith and Puma makes total sense. Both brands are all about confidence, movement, and pushing boundaries. The collection brings together Puma’s performance-driven heritage with LaQuan’s vision of unapologetic glamour. Together, they’ve created a line that’s not just about looking good, but also feeling empowered — whether you're in the gym or owning the streets.
What's Next? Will There Be More?
It’s rare for fashion brands to work together more than once, but when something works as well as this collab, why stop? If the first drop was any indication, this second collection will likely fly off the shelves, and if we’re lucky, we might see another partnership down the line. Could we see a tenniscore collection next, à la Zendaya in Challengers? Fingers crossed!
The collection dropped March 15, so make sure you get in line early. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on these exclusive pieces.
