Wear the laid-back feel of the California coast
For this collection, the design team turned its attention to “inactive activewear,” imagining the downtime after a workout. The palette draws from California’s natural scenery, turning beaches, coastal trails, and Malibu sunsets into understated earth-toned pieces with a soft feel. Rather than making a bold visual statement, the collection gives off a calm, understated sense of comfort.
Make a note of this under-the-radar Speedcat Plus
The sneakers are undoubtedly the highlight of this collaboration. Alongside the classic H-Street and a special-edition Suede, the most eye-catching is the Speedcat Plus in a Madhappy-exclusive colorway. Soft earth tones and Madhappy’s signature stitching details give this retro shoe, with its tough racing roots, a warmer handcrafted feel. Compared with typical high-profile collaborations, this attention to detail is more enduring.
Retro silhouettes made for everyday wear
The apparel is just as compelling, with the brands reworking the classic T7 tracksuit. Pairing a cropped knit jacket with flared pants not only elongates the silhouette, but the soft texture also makes it easy to work into everyday outfits. Compared with hardcore performance gear, these pieces, which balance comfort with a flattering cut, are better suited to weekend coffee dates and shopping trips with friends.
Photographed by Gillian Garcia, the campaign features Dutch model Yasmin Wijnaldum channeling the retro feel of ’90s magazines. The full collection and exclusive Speedcat Plus will be released first on Madhappy’s website and in stores on August 28, 2026, followed by PUMA’s website and select stores on September 5. Is your fall and winter casual shoe collection ready for this new addition?
