While the streetwear brand’s last show five years ago centered around Rihanna, their star collaborator at the time, Puma went a different route this time around, showcasing a much broader range of talent as it approaches its 75-year milestone next year.

According to reports from Footwear News, the experiential show–which was held downtown at Cipriani–featured a traditional runway format and experiential elements, with theatrical dancers showcasing the new 3-D Nitro NFRNO and Nitro Fastroid sneakers. The shoes are the star of Puma’s first-ever foray into the metaverse with “Black Station,” which features NFTS with the limited-edition physical sneakers. 

Throughout the show, Puma spotlighted collaborations from a diverse range of partners: Harlem style icon Dapper Dan, Palomo, the genderless label from Spain, popular football club AC Milan, and fast-rising Parisian brand Koché all got their time in the spotlight, all showing different sides of the brand.

The stars weren’t just on the runway, either. A ton of celebs showed up to sit in the audience and see what Puma has to offer, including Lauren London and her son, Kameron Carter….
