Designer Kei Ninomiya has partnered with PUMA for a new take on the Speedcat sneaker, featuring 3D floral elements, set for release in fall 2026. The collection debuted on the runway during Noir Kei Ninomiya's fall/winter 2026 show. It blends avant-garde design with the model's motorsport heritage.
Fashion designer Kei Ninomiya, who founded his label Noir Kei Ninomiya in 2012 under the Comme des Garçons umbrella, has a history of bold sneaker collaborations. Previously working with Reebok on Instapump Fury models, Ninomiya now turns to PUMA for the Speedcat “Roses” project. This collaboration introduces his experimental aesthetic to the brand's iconic low-profile, motorsport-inspired silhouette.
The design maintains the Speedcat's structure while transforming its exterior with a translucent upper covered in 3D synthetic or printed roses. This floral layer adds a sculptural dimension, allowing the classic PUMA Formstrip to remain visible underneath. Special branding appears on the tongue, balancing delicacy with the original model's identity.
Color options vary across reports: one source describes an all-black edition alongside cyan and soft rosy versions, while another notes black, red, and white pairs shown on the runway. The collection debuted as part of Noir Kei Ninomiya's fall/winter 2026 runway presentation, signaling an expansive artistic direction for the label.
Release details are not fully confirmed, but the sneakers are expected to launch in fall 2026 via PUMA.com and select retailers, including mentions of Dover Street Market. This project continues PUMA's trend of high-fashion partnerships, evolving the Speedcat beyond its racing roots.
