PUMA AND MCM COLLABORATE ON THREE DROP LIMITED- EDITION RELEASE

Cape Town, South Africa; September 06 th , 2022 – Basketball isn’t just a sport – it’s a lifestyle.
This season, German fashion luxury house MCM is teaming up with leading sports brand PUMA
to bring a slam dunk when it comes to high-end fashion that does full justice to the all-American
game. In true showboating style, the PUMA x MCM collaboration celebrates all the raucous
glamour that basketball has to offer, featuring the PUMA Slipstream Lo.

The two style giants are an obvious fit for this thrilling commemoration, having worked together
in 2018 to release a special edition of PUMA’s iconic Suede. This time the teamwork is even
more ambitious, with the PUMA x MCM range seeking to capture the charisma and exhilaration
of all thing’s basketball – and what’s more, basketball superstar-in-the-making Mikey Williams
has been recruited as a triple-double for the global campaign.
“The love affair between luxury and sport is clear in this second collaboration we’ve created with
MCM, the classic details of both German brands are visible in the design and construction,” said
Heiko Desens, PUMA’s Global Creative Director. “The first time we worked together was an
instant success, I’m certain that it will happen again and that everyone will be excited about
what’s to come.”

“The collaboration between MCM and PUMA tells a great story of the heritage of both brands,
but also how important culture is for MCM and the connection to all relevant topics for our
consumer – from sport, music, to the influence of street-culture for luxury brands.”
Dirk Schönberger, MCM Global Brand Officer
