PUMA Speedcat becomes 2024’s must-have sneaker
This shoe effortlessly blends the nostalgic and the cool style of the 90s with a sleek and modern flair, making it the year’s ultimate choice of footwear.

In the dynamic world of fashion, where trends rise and fall in the blink of an eye, only a few pieces have achieved icon status, transcending the decades. But in 2024, PUMA did just that as it brought back a timeless original: the PUMA Speedcat.
This shoe effortlessly blends the nostalgic and the cool style of the 90s with a sleek and modern flair, making it the year’s ultimate choice of footwear.
A 90s Classic, Reborn
Launched in 1999, the PUMA Speedcat was originally crafted to support the F1 drivers on the race track, thus becoming a symbol of speed, precision, and unparalleled performance. Known for its low-profile silhouette and minimalist aesthetic, this sneaker oozed effortless style, quickly becoming a street-style favorite. Fast forward to 2024, and PUMA has masterfully reimagined this classic, injecting it with modern touches that appeal to today’s fashion-forward crowd.
The latest edition of the PUMA Speedcat retains its signature slim silhouette and suede upper, but with subtle enhancements that bring it into the modern era. This includes an improved rubber sole with IMEVA material for maximum comfort.
Design tweaks on the 2024 version of the PUMA Speedcat also include the embossed PUMA logo on the shoe’s toebox. Offered in the original red and black colorway, this edition of the PUMA Speedcat offers a nod to contemporary trends while staying true to the sneaker’s roots.
An Absolute Fashion Must-Have
The buzz around the PUMA Speedcat goes beyond its nostalgic appeal. This timeless footwear has been making an appearance in the streetwear circuit, with fashion-leaning celebrities and influential content creators being spotted rocking the sneaker. Among them, American actress and model Emily Ratajkowski, who has more than successfully integrated the PUMA Speedcat in her casual streetstyle, looking flawless as ever whether she’s off-duty or while she’s hopping from one place to another during New York Fashion Week.
A-List trendsetter, Heart Evangelista, was also seen walking the streets of Paris during Paris Fashion Week donning the PUMA Speedcat in the iconic red colorway. She also wore the sneaker when she attended a charity event for the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), emphasizing the style versatility of the PUMA Speedcat.

Also seen sporting the PUMA Speedcat are model, actress, and beauty queen Kylie Versoza; husband-and-wife sneakerheads, Jeff Ong and Rhea Bue; and fashion content creator Ida Anduyan. The sneaker’s understated design has resonated with those who favor a more effortless, cool aesthetic. The PUMA Speedcat’s simplicity offers a fresh alternative, making it the perfect pairing for either casual or chic ensembles.
Limited Availability, Unlimited Appeal

The PUMA Speedcat continues to make its rounds in the streets and in fashion spaces, further fueling the demand for the iconic shoe. The resurgence of the PUMA Speedcat has only further intensified as more people recognize its potential to be the ultimate sneaker drop of 2024, with its blend of retro cool and modern design that is truly hard to resist.
With the rising popularity of the PUMA Speedcat and limited stocks available, the trendsetting sneaker is flying off the shelves at speeds faster than one can say, “icon.”
