"Motorsports design meets Japanese elegance: Puma's Speedcat Plus on graph paper"
In a fusion of motorsports aesthetics and urban everyday style, Graphpaper and Puma have collaborated to launch the Speedcat Plus for the 2025 Fall/Winter collection. Graphpaper, a Japanese label founded by Takayuki Minami, is known for its simple cuts, high-quality materials, and functional clothing. The brand's focus on fine details and a clear design language is evident in the 2025 model of the Speedcat Plus. The upper of the 2025 model combines smooth leather, nubuck, and suede, giving it a luxurious appearance. The shoe subtly incorporates the 'collage' aesthetic of the Graphpaper brand. The clear line design and flat sole, hallmarks of the Speedcat Plus, remain in the collaboration. The 2025 model of the Speedcat Plus exudes understated elegance and is versatile, suitable for both casual and clean business styles. The tonal 'greige' (a mix of grey and beige) look is inspired by the 2025 Fall/Winter collection called 'Arrangement'. The sole, formstrip, and embroidery are in a monochrome style. The Plus version of the Speedcat retains its original DNA but feels more modern and everyday wearable. The high-quality material combinations make the Graphpaper x Puma Speedcat Plus a subtle street statement. The Graphpaper x Puma Speedcat Plus will be available on August 30, 2025, through the online shops of Graphpaper, Puma, and in Graphpaper stores in Tokyo and Aoyama. With a price point of around 190 euros, the shoe positions itself in the premium lifestyle segment. Puma launched the first Speedcat in 1999, a shoe with a flat, grippy sole and a narrow, aerodynamic silhouette. The Speedcat series originated from the racetrack, inspired by fire-resistant driver shoes from Formula 1 in the 1980s and 1990s. Graphpaper has a history of collaborations with sneaker giants like Mizuno, Converse, and Reproduction of Found. This collaboration with Puma showcases how motorsports aesthetics can be adapted for urban everyday life. In summary, the Graphpaper x Puma Speedcat Plus is a stylish and versatile addition to the 2025 Fall/Winter collection, combining the best of both brands' design philosophies.
