An icon of racing culture, the PUMA Speedcat has been synonymous with speed, precision, and unparalleled performance for over 25 years. Speedcat originated as a fireproof Formula 1 footwear style, but over the decades it found itself on a new circuit — now transcending the tracks of Monaco for Johannesburg.
The German brand recently announced its newest brand ambassadors, rising amapiano artists Zee Nxumalo and Young Stunna, at its Speedcat Fitstop event in Johannesburg. The Speedcat celebration took place in Braamfontein, the spiritual heart of PUMA South Africa, and showcased the iconic sneaker with its performance racing-inspired silhouette. As the drinks and eats flowed the event was lit by headline acts Zee, Stunna and Maglera Doe Boy taking guests on a wild ride and setting the scene for the season. Fuelled by the energy of the celebration, Zee and Stunna are revved for an exciting new journey with the brand.
“We are super excited to welcome Zee and Stunna to the PUMA Fam,” said PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger. “These exceptionally talented young artists are a perfect match for the Speedcat campaign and join global superstars Dua Lipa and K-pop sensation Rosé in redefining the iconic sneaker for a new generation.”
With Zee and Stunna leading the charge — the season promises to be nothing short of iconic.
