The Nahmias x Puma Speedcat is back. After their first Suede capsule turned into one of 2026’s sleeper sneaker hits, Doni Nahmias and Puma reunited for a second chapter — and this time, the iconic Speedcat takes center stage. With three new colorways, a full apparel range built around the CLRT tracksuit, and Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc fronting the campaign, this is one of the most talked-about sneaker collabs of the spring.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Nahmias x Puma Speedcat 2026 collection — release dates, pricing, colorways, and how to secure a pair before they sell out
What Is the Nahmias x Puma Speedcat Collection?
The Nahmias x Puma Speedcat collection is the second collaborative drop between Los Angeles-based luxury label Nahmias and Puma. It builds on the brands’ debut Suede capsule from earlier in 2026, this time pivoting to Puma’s low-profile motorsport silhouette: the Speedcat.
Designed by Doni Nahmias — the Summerland, California native who launched Nahmias in 2018 — the collection fuses Puma’s racing heritage with Nahmias’ trademark blend of skate, surf, basketball, and old-world Southern California luxury. Every piece is built around what Puma calls a “track-to-street” aesthetic: motorsport DNA reworked for everyday wear.
The collection includes:
- The Puma x Nahmias Speedcat sneaker in three colorways
- A CLRT track jacket and track pants set
- A racing-inspired knit jersey
- Long-sleeve and short-sleeve co-branded T-shirts
Nahmias x Puma Speedcat Colorways: All Three Looks Explained
Nahmias reworks the classic Speedcat across three suede-and-canvas colorways, each leaning into a stripped-back, lived-in California palette rather than the loud motorsport graphics fans might expect.
1. Puma x Nahmias Speedcat ‘Warm White’
The campaign hero — and the pair Charles Leclerc wears throughout the lookbook. A creamy off-white base sits next to soft sand and dark gray accents, finished with co-branded heel tabs, suede overlays, and rope laces in place of the usual flat laces. Subtle distressing gives it an instantly broken-in feel.
2. Puma x Nahmias Speedcat ‘Black’
The most versatile of the three. Tonal black suede across the upper, paired with light contrast stitching and the same rope-lace detail. A cleaner, more wearable take on the Speedcat — built to slot into any wardrobe.
3. Puma x Nahmias Speedcat ‘Coffee Milk’
The collector’s favorite. A warm coffee-brown upper meets cream and tan accents — easily the most “Nahmias” of the three colorways, channeling that old-world coastal Southern California glamor the brand is known for.
All three pairs feature:
- Premium suede overlays with light distressing
- Rope laces instead of flat laces
- Co-branded Puma + Nahmias detailing on the tongue and heel
- The signature low-profile rubber sole and rounded toe
Why Charles Leclerc?
Ferrari F1 star Charles Leclerc fronts the Nahmias x Puma campaign and the choice was anything but random.
Leclerc has been a Puma ambassador for years through his Ferrari deal, and he’s also a longtime personal friend of Doni Nahmias. The two reportedly bonded over a few unlikely shared interests, namely basketball and dachshunds and that easy chemistry shows up across every campaign image.
"Charles and I have been friends for a while now. We have a lot of shared interests, like our love of wiener dogs and basketball, so it was an easy and natural friendship from the start. He just carries the energy of the collection — effortless, sporty, and luxury without trying too hard.” — Doni Nahmias"
The campaign was shot during Formula 1’s 2026 spring break — a rare window where drivers are off the grid — and Leclerc spends most of it in the Warm White Speedcat, the CLRT tracksuit, and the co-branded knit jersey. The styling is intentionally low-key: no race-suit theatrics, no Ferrari red overload. Just a driver in his off-season uniform, which is exactly the track-to-street thesis the collection is built on.
A few smaller details tie Leclerc directly into the design:
- The red-and-white striping running down the CLRT track jacket sleeves nods to Leclerc’s native Monaco
- The co-branded jacquard monogram lifts from racing-suit construction — the kind of detail any F1 fan recognizes instantly
- The subtly distressed Speedcat mirrors the lived-in look of a real driver’s off-duty rotation
“Seeing two of my favorite brands collaborating on a joint collection is amazing. Proud to be part of it and happy to see this coming to life.” — Charles Leclerc
With Formula 1’s global popularity at an all-time high in 2026 — and Leclerc still one of the grid’s most stylish names — his involvement adds genuine cultural weight to a sneaker collab that could easily have coasted on hype alone.
Why This Drop Matters
- The Speedcat is having a moment. After collabs with JJJJound, Sparco, and Ottolinger, it’s firmly the low-profile silhouette to own in 2026.
- Limited regional release = instant scarcity for international buyers.
- Designer-led pricing under $200 — rare for a luxury collab with this level of campaign firepower.

It’s the second collaboration between LA-based luxury label Nahmias and Puma, featuring the iconic Speedcat sneaker in three colorways alongside a full apparel range — including the CLRT tracksuit, a knit jersey, and co-branded tees. The collection is fronted by F1 star Charles Leclerc.
The collection was designed by Doni Nahmias, founder and creative director of Nahmias, in partnership with Puma’s design team.
The sneaker features premium suede overlays with light distressing, rope laces instead of flat laces, and a low-profile rubber sole. Co-branded Puma + Nahmias detailing appears on the tongue and heel.
The Speedcat traditionally runs narrow and slightly small. Most reviewers and buyers recommend going half a size up from your usual sneaker size for a comfortable fit.
The Speedcat has a low-profile rubber sole and minimal cushioning — it prioritizes a sleek, race-inspired silhouette over chunky comfort. They’re best for casual daily wear rather than long walks or athletic use.
