(Press Release)
Manila, Philippines — PUMA puts the pedal to the metal as its iconic PUMA Speedcat OG races into ZALORA, the leading online fashion destination in Asia. This move puts the Speedcat OG on the fast lane, taking over wardrobes across the region, fueled by ZALORA.
PUMA Goes Full Throttle with ZALORA
To celebrate the Speedcat OG’s arrival on the online shopping platform, ZALORA and PUMA hosted an exclusive event that paid homage to the classic footwear’s racing roots. Last May 22, guests stepped into a world of asphalt and attitude as the Monza Barcade in Pasig transformed into a fashion pit stop.
The neon-lit venue came complete with immersive driving challenges and race-themed treats, giving guests the full racing experience inspired by the Speedcat OG’s roots. Actor Nikki Co, internet personality Joaquin Tiu, and fashion content creator Charles Graydon were some of the guests seen diving into the thrill of the race with a high-octane race simulation activity.
The event revved up the hearts of sneakerheads, fashion tastemakers, and motorsport fans alike. It also displayed the versatility of the Speedcat OG, which effortlessly straddles the line between high-speed nostalgia and contemporary cool. The Speedcat OG’s launch on ZALORA reinforces the sneaker’s place in style history and gives fans across the Philippines instant access to the action.
Speedcat OG: Motorsport Meets Streetstyle
Originally designed for the fearless world of racing in the late 90s, the PUMA Speedcat was built for F1 drivers, and quickly found its way to the street fashion lane. With its low profile silhouette, sleek suede upper, and tire tread-inspired outsole, the Speedcat captures the spirit of speed and the elegance of control.
In 2024, PUMA brought the low-profile silhouette sneakers back in the spotlight as the Speedcat returned from the archives.
During the event, key personalities showcased the versatility of the Speedcat OG, styling their pair in different ways. Manila-based Taiwanese model Jessica Yang, host and actress Janeena Chan, model and LGBTQ advocate EJ Nacion, Filipino-Canadian actor and model Michael Sager, and actor, singer, and host Derrick Monasterio were among the guests spotted at the event.
