Puma Speedcat OG<\/h1>\n

A Deep Dive into One of Footwear\u2019s Most Formidable Silhouettes<\/h2>\n
\n

The resurgence of the PUMA Speedcat perfectly embodies the old saying, \u2018Good things come to those who wait\u2019. Or, is it: are all good things worth waiting for? You get the point, right? Many of us have eagerly awaited the remastering of this cult footwear classic, and now our time has come – the higher-ups have listened to us. For those who may be unacquainted with one of the most formidable footwear styles in history, let\u2019s take a deep dive into the PUMA Speedcat.<\/p>\n

Even though the PUMA Speedcat was commercially released in 1998, PUMA had been laying the groundwork for its performance-oriented footwear programme for fifty years before that. Before PUMA was developing shoes for racing drivers, it had a history and reputation which he carries to today of producing the best-in-class footwear solutions for athletes, from sprinting spikes to football boots and tennis shoes. Rightly so, PUMA had fairly earned this reputation by putting faith in its athletes – they could always put their shoes on the feet of the right people at the right time.<\/p>\n

In 1968, in one of the most iconic Olympic moments and a historical chapter, PUMA athlete Tommie Smith won gold in the 200m sprint alongside his teammate, John Carlos, who won bronze in the same event. Crossing the line, the pair raised their fists in a silent gesture, wearing black gloves to represent and protest against discrimination of African Americans and other minorities in the USA. PUMA believed in what its athletes stood for and was willing to stand by them – or underneath them.<\/p>\n
