PUMA and NO/FAITH Studios return to the Beisser, a silhouette first introduced in 2005. The name draws from the German word for “biter,” a direct reference to its defining tread. The outsole features a sharp, tooth-like pattern that recalls the mandibles of a large cat, giving the shoe a distinct visual identity.

The updated version introduces a new material direction while retaining the original construction. NO/FAITH Studios applies its focus on leather and tactile finishes by wrapping the upper in premium brown suede. This material choice shifts the appearance toward something more raw and grounded, with a surface that reacts to light and wear over time. The color reinforces the animalistic reference embedded in the design, aligning the upper with the sculptural language of the sole.
A subtly distressed sole unit supports the upper, adding depth to the overall build. The finish gives the sneaker a worn, hand-treated look that strengthens its physical presence. The combination of suede and textured sole enhances the Beisser’s sharp structure, keeping the emphasis on its bold, tooth-inspired base while introducing a more nuanced surface treatment.
This release follows the earlier collaboration between PUMA and NO/FAITH Studios, which introduced a limited-edition Talon sneaker in 2025. The Beisser continues that partnership with a focus on reinterpretation, drawing from archive material while adapting it through current design choices.
PUMA and NO/FAITH Studios marked the launch with an event in Berlin on March 27. The program took place at Studio1111, where a friends-and-family dinner preceded an after-party in the same venue. The setting brought together collaborators and guests in a format that matched the release.
The PUMA x NO/FAITH STUDIOS Beisser will be available from April 4, 2026. The sneaker will release through PUMA.com, nofaithstudios.com, and selected PUMA stockists.
