Completing the design are PUMA’s FORMSTRIP and TREAT patterns, along with an embossed JUUN.J logo on the strap. Looking to invoke the feel and energy of PUMA’s longstanding role in motorsports, the brand’s FORMSTRIP and TREAT patterns on the outsole serve as a subtle reminder of the racing lifestyle. Available via JUUN.J’s web store and select PUMA retailers, the new and modern Speedcat is now available for anyone looking for a darker and opaque shoe to add to their wardrobe.
