Sneakers are probably my most-worn shoes. They're versatile and comfortable, and the right pair can make the simplest outfit 10 times cooler. While ballet flats and Mary Janes have had a chokehold on summer style, sneakers are officially reclaiming their space this fall. I, for one, couldn't be more excited.
Lately, I haven't been able to stop thinking about Puma's latest sneaker lineup. The brand is known for blending performance and street style, and this new collection is effortlessly cool, slightly unexpected, and elevated enough to pair with just about anything in your closet. One pair completely stopped me in my tracks: the viral Speedcat Ballet Suede. The first time I saw them on my feed, I gasped. They're sleek and delicate. They have a ballet-flat vibe with the structure and support of a sneaker (read: no blisters). And once I explored the entire collection, I knew Puma really delivered. From reimagined classics to bold, sculptural silhouettes, these are the sneaker styles all the It girls are wearing.
Speedcat
First up: the Speedcat. Originally designed as a sleek racing shoe, this ultra-slim silhouette has become a street style staple thanks to its low profile and retro vibe. Whether you go for a classic colorway or the ballet-inspired suede version (my fave), the Speedcat makes every outfit so much better.
Mostro
Next up is the Mostro, a bold, sculptural sneaker that's quite impossible to ignore. With its spiked sole and edgy look, it instantly makes every outfit look cool and fashion-forward. The design gives off elevated soccer cleat vibes in the best way, and it's perfect for anyone who's not afraid to stand out.
H-Street
Last but definitely not least is the throwback style, the H-Street. A modern take on the brand's early 2000s Harambee running spike, this sneaker blends sporty influence with street style edge. With its ultra-lightweight feel and low-profile silhouette, it captures that Y2K vibe we all love, and it's just as wearable now as it was back then.
Apparel
Not only is Puma killing the sneaker game, but it's also dropped standout clothing pieces that are seriously versatile. Whether you're squeezing in a quick workout or need some cool layering pieces for fall, you'll want these in your rotation ASAP.
