Fashion and sport are two very different worlds that often find themselves colliding. When they do intersect, the results often gain cult status, creating a ripple effect in both universes.
Take motorsport, for example. We are truly in the era of F1 fandom, with a peak in interest in the award-winning Netflix show ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’. This has spurred a significant surge in female watchers of the sport globally, which has led to new programs launching to support women in pursuing careers in the sector. And now, ‘F1: The Movie’ is hitting cinemas this week, featuring British actress Callie Cooke, and it is set to become a box-office smash.
Sportswear brand Puma has always been at the forefront of the sport, kitting out drivers, pundits, pitcrew and fans alike. Their Speedcat OG trainer was dusted off and rebooted last year, marking its 25th anniversary. It has found itself entering the fashion space in a big way, with starlets Dua Lipa, Rosé from Blackpink, Amelia Gray and Emily Ratajkowski donning them on the daily, in streetwear looks which have solidified the sneaker’s place as the shoe of the moment.

Dua Lipa wears a Puma Speedcat OG sneakers in black, with a black Puma racer jacket, mini dress and chunky necklaces.
Originally launched in 1999 and designed for professional racecar drivers, it features a slim profile, clean lines, and pared-back athletic detailing swooping down the sleek shape. The sole resembles tire tracks and has serious grip, perfect for both pedal control or simply walking the city streets. The Puma Speedcat OG has tapped into the style set’s need for a trainer which is a world away from the chunky treads we longed for, and have since moved on from, in 2018.
Having test-driven a pair for myself, in the chic mocha-mousse brown shade, I can attest to how comfortable the sneaker is for all-day wear. It’s low and streamlined, making it perfect for running errands in my neighborhood, casual work days at the office, plus weekend walks in search of iced coffee, and it pairs well with skirts, loose-fitting jeans and dresses too (teamed with a calf-length white athletic sock is the way to go here!).
So, if you want to see how the glitterati and influencers are styling out their Speedcats, and are keen to shop the latest colourways of the trainer, read on.

For her casual city look, Emily has opted for beige and biscuit tones, allowing the hot-red Speedcats to take centre stage. Her barn jacket, white baby tee and striped jeans are perfect for a cool summer day, while the red Speedcats keep her running errands in comfort and style.

Style Notes: I have been keeping check of Jennifer Lawrence’s street style looks for some time now, and have been loving her fashion evolution. This look proves how tapped in she is, as she too, has been sporting the Speedcat sneakers.

Absolutely no notes!

Style Notes: As the face of the Puma Speedcat revival, Dua Lipa is rarely seen without her trusty sneaker of choice on foot. Aptly, she popped up at the Monaco Grand Prix wearing a black pair, styled out with a Puma x Porsche moto jacket, yellow graphic tee and baggy off-black denim jeans. A look perfect for race days, or pints at the pub, I would say.
