PUMA x Ferrari have introduced the 'Desert Sun Collection,' a limited-edition collaboration designed to commemorate the Las Vegas Grand Prix. This collection combines influences from Ferrari cars and fashion, with designs that incorporate sun-faded, distressed textures that reflect the desert landscape.
The Desert Sun Collection is divided into the 'Lifestyle Collection' and the 'Replica Line.' The Lifestyle Collection includes casual apparel, footwear, and headwear, featuring hoodies, graphic tees, and sneakers in red, white, and black. Additionally, fans can choose crewneck sweaters with "the driver numbers of Charles Leclerc (16) and Carlos Sainz (55), as well as four unique Las Vegas-themed graphic tees."
The Replica Line features gear identical to what Ferrari drivers will wear during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, including "a tee, hoodie, cap, and Speedcat PRO shoes."
