PUMA and Sonic the Hedgehog are back with a vibrant plus collectible capsule for fall 2025 thus merging next-level sneaker innovation and motorsport-inspired streetwear with the fast-paced fun of SEGA’s legendary game universe.

A Supersonic Partnership for a New Generation

This latest limited-edition collaboration launches October 30 and brings together PUMA’s design prowess with beloved Sonic characters—Sonic, Shadow, and Tails—for a collection that taps into nostalgia, fashion, and gaming all at once. Building on the success of previous PUMA x Sonic team-ups, this capsule is timed to coincide with the release of SEGA’s new kart racer, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, creating a universe-spanning fusion of digital and physical style.

Bold Sneakers: Speed, Style, and Customization

At the collection’s core is the PUMA Inhale—a 2000s running silhouette reborn in Sonic’s unmistakable blue, complete with playful details and surprising Easter eggs. Shadow and Tails join the fun with their own spins on the PUMA Inverse sneaker. Each pair offers:

  • Character-shaped lace shrouds for a collectible, interactive touch

  • Hook-and-loop heel tabs in corresponding graphics and colors

  • Swappable Formstrips and replaceable elements so wearers can adapt their look or showcase different characters

  • Packaging and branding that nod to both SEGA and PUMA heritage

These touches make the shoes not just stylish but also deeply embedded with game-inspired personality—perfect for sneakerheads and lifelong Sonic fans alike.

Apparel and Accessories: The Motorsport Aesthetic

PUMA’s apparel collection draws heavily from the world of motorsports and kart racing. The capsule includes:

  • Track Jackets and Pants in a blackout colorway with bold red piping and Sonic racing co-branding

  • Graphic Hoodies and Shorts with gold ring drawstring aglets

  • Oversized Racer Shirt featuring a monochrome Sonic motif

  • Graphic Tees uniting the trio: Sonic, Shadow, and Tails

  • 5-panel cap and a waist bag complete with ring-inspired zipper pulls and co-branded badges

This apparel combines comfort, function, and pop culture cues—bridging streetwear with classic video game cool.

In-Game Fun: PUMA Arrives in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

The collaboration goes beyond apparel and footwear. It includes eight PUMA-inspired vehicle decals inside Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, letting players kit out their karts for free once they purchase the game. This exclusive content brings the physical and digital together, underscoring the partnership’s interactive edge and giving fans new ways to express their love for both brands within the game.

Where and When to Shop

The full collection drops for adults on October 30, 2025, via PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores, and selected retailers. For families, kids’ sneakers and apparel will release one day earlier to ensure that Sonic fans of all ages can take part in the fun.

With innovative sneaker tech, character-driven design, and in-game extras, the PUMA x Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration is set to fly off shelves and onto the streets and racetracks—offering the speed, personality, and joy of the Sonic world in every stitch and step.
