In 1998, Jil Sander and PUMA collaborated for the first time, turning their football boots into luxury leather sneakers. Nearly three decades later, the two brands continue their collaboration for the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, introducing apparel for the first time alongside new interpretations of the Speedcat and Suede sneakers.

Under creative director Simone Bellotti, the latest release brings together PUMA’s sport elements and Jil Sander’s minimalist aesthetic, giving sportswear the 90s silhouettes and looks we’ve been missing. The classic T7 tracksuit that was originally introduced in 1968, takes its name from the 7-centimetre Formstrip. Now, it gets a new look with a boxy jacket and tapered trousers that’s made from specially bi-stretch wool. Coming in navy, the set is more refined than traditional sportswear. A white, boxy, long-sleeved top made from cotton and recycled polyester blend, will also be a part of the capsule to complete the look.
The footwear collection also gets a minimalist update. The Speedcat returns in black and white leather, with a full leather lining and a handmade leather detail at the heel. And the Suede is redefined in a white premium leather, with hidden laces and a clean, simple finish.
The campaign stars Meadow Walker and Barry Lawson, photographed by Guen Fiore and filmed by Lisa Rovner. It’s captured in a field filled with tall grass and wildflowers, that brings the city style into the outdoors nature.
Mixing classic sportswear with 90s minimalist inspiration and luxury is what makes the collection feel familiar but yet new. Instead of completely changing these designs, Jil Sander and PUMA focused on the details, giving us a nostalgic collection.
The capsule will be available from 23 October 2026 at Jil Sander and PUMA stores and online, with selected stockists launching it on 24 October.
