PUMA partners with _J.L-A.L_ to introduce a collection of footwear and uniform-inspired apparel shaped by performance and structure. The collaboration develops as a modular system of garments designed for movement within real-world environments. At its core sits the CELL Geo sneaker, first shown at Paris Fashion Week in June 2025 and now approaching release after months of anticipation.
SNEAKERS
The CELL Geo anchors the collection with a defined geometric direction that revisits the language of CELL cushioning for 2026. The sneaker arrives in two patent leather colorways titled Ombré and Midnight. Each pair evolves through wear, as the upper layer gradually fades to reveal a gradient surface that shifts over time. This process creates variation across individual pairs, allowing each shoe to develop its own visual outcome.
Beyond footwear, the collection extends into a focused range of garments that maintain the same structural approach. A jacket, pants, T-shirt, and baseball cap form the apparel offering, each designed with attention to functionality and movement. The pieces use anatomical cutlines that follow the body, allowing for fluid motion without excess material.
A hobo bag completes the collection, adding a practical element that supports daily use. Designed for portability, the bag integrates into the broader system through its form and function. It provides storage while maintaining alignment with the collection’s modular structure, ensuring that each component operates as part of a cohesive set.
Truss Archive supports the release with a short documentary that will premiere on social media. The film explores the collaboration through behind-the-scenes access, focusing on the design process and development of the collection. PUMA x _J.L-A.L_ will be available from March 21, 2026, through PUMA website, PUMA flagship stores, and selected stockists.
