An exciting collaboration between ROMBAUT and PUMA has been unveiled at SS25 Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Mats Rombaut, the visionary behind ROMBAUT, partnered with one of the leading sports brand to introduce a new line of innovative footwear during their runway show in Paris. Highlighting the collaboration was the “Levitation” collection, which includes designs that draw from PUMA’s nostalgic 2000s archive, and features models in black, medic and sock variations.
These sneakers definitely stand out, characterized by minimalist design and a lace-free silhouette and unique construction. The “Levitation” line introduces a floating heel design, where the back of the shoe is detached from the sole, providing a sensation of walking on air.
Mats Rombaut’s debut at Paris Men’s Fashion Week was also a celebration of his brand’s tenth anniversary, marking a decade of sustainable fashion influence. The show featured a variety of footwear, including sleek sock sneakers, robust cowboy boots, and an inventive sneaker-loafer hybrid.

The ROMBAUT x PUMA Levitation Sneaker Collection has been in the works for over a year, as stated by Mats in an instagram post revealing the model. The sneakers incorporate features reminiscent of popular PUMA models like the Mostro and Y2K Speedcat, yet they’re reimagined with a twist that’s distinctly ROMBAUT.
For enthusiasts eager to get their hands on these unique sneakers, patience is required as they are announced for release in early 2025, with the Puma x Rombaut Levitation Sock model available for preorder on the official website. Take a closer look at it in the Gallery below:
