The PUMA x SAYSKY Back to Business collection concludes the brands' three-part collaboration by translating classic business attire into technical running apparel and footwear. Pinstripe detailing, restrained colour palettes and tailored-inspired finishes appear across performance garments and accessories, while two exclusive footwear styles anchor the release. The Deviate NITRO Elite 4 race shoe combines NITROFOAM ELITE cushioning with a full-length PWRPLATE carbon-fibre plate, while the MagMax NITRO 2 features a high-stack NITROFOAM midsole, engineered knit upper and PUMAGRIP outsole for everyday training.
The apparel range pairs lightweight technical fabrics with clean silhouettes that transition between daily wear and running sessions, reflecting SAYSKY's Scandinavian aesthetic alongside PUMA's performance technology. To mark the launch, the brands will host the Out of Office Relay in Copenhagen, sending participants through an office building using stairwells, lifts and parking garages as part of the course.
