PUMA x ROMBAUT Season 2 Launches with Futuristic Speedcat Collection

PUMA and ROMBAUT have officially returned with Season 2, the final chapter of their celebrated partnership. After the tremendous success of their first collaboration, which famously introduced the now-iconic “Levitation” sole, the duo is back with a collection that evolves the original concept even further. This new release explores transformation, expressing a balance between being grounded and elevated. As a result, Season 2 feels not only like a continuation but also the natural culmination of their creative journey.

A Seamless Fusion of Speed, Style, and Artistic Identity

To begin with, the Season 2 collection introduces three fresh styles inspired by the classic PUMA Speedcat silhouette. By merging Speedcat’s aerodynamic motorsport curves with ROMBAUT’s distinct retro-futuristic design language, each shoe becomes a bold artistic statement.

Moreover, the upper is crafted using technical silver mesh combined with man-made leather, further reinforcing the theme of futuristic minimalism. All versions also incorporate ROMBAUT’s trademark cell-bubble detailing, which creates an organic, fluid look. This signature texture serves as a subtle reminder of the brand’s mission to harmonize nature and technology,  an idea that becomes even more prominent in this final chapter.

Three Colorways That Tell Three Different Stories

Furthermore, Season 2 offers three unique colorways, each representing a different emotional tone and visual identity:

• Silver Edition — A fully futuristic interpretation featuring metallic mesh and fluid detailing, emphasizing movement and transformation.

• White Edition — Contrasting a soft suede toe with a gum sole, this pair highlights purity, balance, and minimalist elegance.

• Black Edition — Featuring distressed brown tooling, this darker version introduces mood, depth, and raw expressive energy.

Together, these three styles complement one another, creating a complete narrative from purity to intensity.

A Campaign That Visualizes Levitation and Emotional Freedom

Additionally, the campaign imagery for Season 2 intentionally focuses on the lightness and freedom associated with youth. Here, “Levitation” becomes more than a design concept ,  it evolves into a symbolic experience.

By portraying the wearer floating through natural landscapes, the visuals communicate a moment where the weight of the world temporarily disappears. In these scenes, the wearer exists between earth and dream, suggesting a feeling of being uplifted yet still emotionally connected. Consequently, the campaign communicates a universal message: in a world full of chaos, Season 2 represents a choice to rise above it.

Defying Gravity in a Chaotic World

As the narrative progresses, the collaboration sends a clear message. Even when the world feels heavy or unpredictable, Season 2 encourages us to remain unbound. Despite disorder, we rise. Despite pressure, we levitate. Ultimately, this season becomes a visual and emotional rejection of being brought down.

Release Information and Retail Availability

Finally, the long-awaited release dates have been confirmed:

• Silver & White colorways
  → Available starting November 22 on rombaut.com and through select global retailers, including Slam Jam, Luisaviaroma, GR8, Notitle, and Casestudy.

PUMA and ROMBAUT’s Season 2 collection successfully closes out a partnership defined by innovation, artistry, and bold experimentation. Through striking design, symbolic storytelling, and seamless transitions between nature and futurism, this final instalment stands as a powerful tribute to the collaboration’s creative spirit.
