FRESHLY PAINTED: PUMA & KIDSUPER LAUNCH A
SPECIAL COLLECTION CELEBRATING FOOTBALL, FASHION ART
PUMA & KIDSUPER LAUNCH A SPECIAL COLLECTION
Cape Town, South Africa, 10 June 2025 — PUMA and KidSuper have today launched the
PUMA x KIDSUPER collection, a unique blend of football, fashion, and art, debuting at this
summer’s biggest club tournament. This collaboration brings hand-drawn graphics,
watercolor palettes, and club-inspired designs to the pitch, offering a fresh artistic take on
the Beautiful Game.
The special collection features fresh kits and lifestyle apparel for Mamelodi Sundowns,
Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Al-Hilal, FC Salzburg, Palmeiras, and Monterrey.
Special edition PUMA x KidSuper FUTURE, ULTRA and KING football boots are included.
The PUMA x KIDSUPER collection takes football kits and boots to the next level,
transforming the jerseys of PUMA clubs and PUMA’s footwear into works of art.
Mamelodi Sundowns
Tshwane’s evening sky hits different. In the PUMA x KIDSUPER collaboration, the Mamelodi
Sundown’s Home kit does the same – blending warm, sunlit tones with cooler shades to
reflect the club’s signature style. The result captures the rhythm, energy, and joy of
Sundown’s football, known locally as “shoeshine and piano.” The Home jersey features a
yellow base with mountain blue, green and white details with the goalkeeper jersey
implementing a purple base with yellow and mountain blue details.
Manchester City
The Manchester City kit revisits the classic sash design with KidSuper's watercolour palette
and hand-painted details. The design captures the spirit of Manchester and the excitement
of the Poznań celebration, offering a fresh and artistic perspective on the beloved City kit.
The outfield kit integrates a unique all-over Poznań repeated graphic, inspired by the fans
and designed in collaboration with New York-based fashion designer KidSuper. The fresh
white base contrasts with a black and red diagonal sash, loved by Manchester City fans
across the globe since away kits of the 1970s worn by the likes of Colin Bell. A special
goalkeeper kit has also been launched, in a neon sun colourway, with a black and yellow
sash and all-over Poznań graphic.
Borussia Dortmund
Two worlds are set to collide—Borussia Dortmunds footballing heritage and KidSuper’s
artistic flair. This collaboration brings together a passionate fanbase and a modern take on
football’s intersection with pop culture, creating a kit that honours the past while embracing
KidSuper’s bold design aesthetic. The classic blend of black and yellow, known by football
fans around Europe, features hand-drawn graphics to create an energetic design. The
collection also features a special goalkeeper kit in a pink colourway, with yellow accents.
Inspired by the geometric design of a honeycomb, the painted hexagonal cells cover the
shoulders of the jersey,
Palmeiras
In 1914, a group of Italian immigrants founded a football team in São Paulo. Over a century
later, Palmeiras continue to embody the vibrant fusion of Italian and Brazilian culture. With
this kit, KidSuper honors the Club’s legacy as the inaugural Club World Champions in 1951.
The baroque-inspired Home kit features a leaf motif against a golden base, a nod to the
Club’s Copa Rio triumph and timeless status. The goalkeeper jersey features the same
design but in glowing red, dark crimson and gold.
FC Salzburg
Alpine beauty with a New York edge. From the PUMA x KIDSUPER collection, the FC
Salzburg kit reimagines the iconic Edelweiss flower with sweeping strokes of ivory, lemon,
and baby blue for the Home kit and an ultra-blue base with scotch blue and lemon details for
the goalkeeper kit.
Al-Hilal
The Al-Hilal Home kit takes its cue from the Club’s name – meaning the crescent moon in
Arabic. KidSuper brings that symbol to life in tonal blues, with a glowing lunar graphic that
reflects the quiet confidence of a team known across Asia as ‘The Boss’. A shirt for the
dreamers, lit by the night sky, charting a path from Saudi Arabia to San Francisco – because
greatness never stays in one place. The goalkeeper jersey switches things up with an alpine
snow base with blue and navy details.
Monterrey
Monterrey’s kit is bold, with geometric patterns that celebrate the Club’s rich history while
embracing modernity, bringing the spirit of northern Mexico to the international stage. The
white base features hand painted mountain regions with navy accents to create a vibrant
and beautiful piece of art. The goalkeeper kit takes a pink base and integrates white and
navy detailing to make sure it stands out from the crowd.
Colm Dillane aka KidSuper, said: “I’ve always wanted to merge the worlds of art and football,
and with PUMA, we’re doing just that. This collection is about more than just the game. It’s
about expressing yourself, taking risks, and standing out. Whether on the pitch or off, football
is an art form, and this collection shows that.”
PUMA & KIDSUPER LAUNCH A SPECIAL COLLECTION
The jerseys are available in both Authentic and Replica versions. The Authentic Jersey, worn
by the players, is crafted with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and
friction for elite-level performance. The Replica Jersey offers the same striking look with a
more relaxed fit, perfect for both match days and everyday wear. Both versions incorporate
PUMA’s dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep fans and players dry and comfortable.
As part of PUMA’s commitment to sustainability, the Replica jerseys are made using the
RE:FIBRE initiative, utilizing recycled textile waste to create new materials without
compromising quality. Containing at least 95% recycled textile waste and other used
polyester materials, this initiative represents a significant step towards a more circular and
sustainable production process for football jerseys.
Alongside the kits, the PUMA x KIDSUPER collection features special edition football boots:
the FUTURE, ULTRA, and KING. Designed to elevate the game, these boots incorporate
PUMA’s performance technology with KidSuper’s bold and distinctive style, blending high
performance with visual artistry.
Each boot is an artistic creation, designed for the modern athlete who wants to stand out on
and off the pitch. With FUTURE boots made for creativity, ULTRA boots designed for speed
and lethal finishing, and the KING boots offering legendary control and comfort, these boots
embody KidSuper’s signature artistic expression. Their vivid, hand-painted graphics are a
true representation of the artistic energy of the collaboration, making each pair a statement
of style, innovation, and football culture.
Each team’s collection includes a KIDSUPER Retro Shirt, KIDSUPER Graphic Tee,
KIDSUPER Short, Pant and Reversible jacket.
