The new Jil Sander x PUMA collection adds the partnership’s first apparel, led by a wool reinterpretation of the T7 tracksuit.
Jil Sander and PUMA are broadening their collaboration with its first apparel pieces, alongside new Speedcat and Suede interpretations. The October 22 collection announcement develops a relationship that PUMA traces back to 1998, when the two names brought sports footwear into a designer-fashion setting.
The central clothing pieces are a boxy T7 jacket and tapered trousers in Club Navy bi-stretch wool, complemented by a white long-sleeve top made from cotton and recycled polyester. PUMA’s T7 dates to 1968, with its name referring to the seven-centimeter stripe that made the original training suit recognizable along its sleeves.
Under Simone Bellotti, the Speedcat appears in black and white with leather heel detailing and leather lining, while the white Suede uses a concealed-lace construction and a leather-lined interior. Their sporting origins remain part of the story: PUMA’s history places the Race Cat in motorsport in 1999, followed by its low-cut Speedcat lifestyle counterpart in 2000.
The partners’ October 2025 collaboration centered on a limited navy unisex sneaker, built from premium leather and finished with gold-foil Jil Sander branding. Its tongue carried PUMA branding on the outside and Jil Sander on the inside, an earlier example of the restrained detailing that made the exchange more specific than simply placing two logos together.
Adding clothing changes the practical scope of that exchange: the track jacket and trousers can now establish the proportions of a complete outfit rather than leaving the sneaker to do all the work. The boxy upper half and tapered leg create that contrast through shape, while the concentrated navy-and-white palette keeps the different pieces visually connected.
Japan’s announced schedule lists online sales through both brands from October 23, followed by additional stores and the PUMA app on October 24. That is a regional timetable rather than a promise of identical availability everywhere, so the new apparel and footwear should be understood as a staged release, not an already completed worldwide drop.
