PUMA Drops First Collaboration with Ahluwalia: The Reimagined Suede

PUMA presents its debut collaboration with London-based designer Priya Ahluwalia, transforming the iconic Suede into a contemporary statement piece that honors heritage while embracing innovation.

Rendered in a monotone black and silver palette with TPU Formstrip and mudguard overlays, the design balances universal appeal with modern functionality. Co-branded details appear on the tongue and Suede tab, while custom packaging completes the offering.

Launched on October 1st through Ahluwalia.world, and ahead of its global release on October 4th, the collection is accompanied by character-driven campaign films that celebrate everyday moments.

The collection reimagines signature codes through audacious finishing and diaphanous lace. Lace sculpts into blooms on the FAIZ pump, transforms as tooling on supple Nappa, and recontextualises in airy ballerina trainers. Classic forms evolve: soft suede printed with trompe l’oeil denim, the iconic BIKER boot in new textures, and accessories like the CINCH bag and BON BON updated with playful delicacy.

Unveiled during Milan Fashion Week in a hidden palazzo garden framed by oversized floral installations, the presentation balanced natural wildness with sleek modern design. Rendered in soft pastels with elements that surprise, Spring 2026 celebrates fashion’s power to champion strength and evolution. Beauty with undeniable force.
