PUMA is launching a collaboration inspired by the Harry Potter universe, highlighting the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses in a fun and whimsical fashion. Featuring the iconic PUMA Palermo, the collection renders the sneaker in 'Scarlet/Gold' (Gryffindor) and 'Green/Silver' (Slytherin), and finishes the shoe with a lace shroud. Beyond footwear, the collection expands into apparel inspired by the spirited world of Hogwarts Quidditch. The lineup includes a reimagined T7 tracksuit, athletic jerseys, and an assortment of hoodies and T-shirts adorned with captivating, spellbinding graphics.
Completing the collection, a range of accessories enhances the magical aesthetic. Waist bags and caps, decorated with quintessential Harry Potter motifs, offer fans a stylish way to showcase their love for the franchise.
The highly anticipated PUMA x Harry Potter collection is set to launch both online and in stores on March 27.
