The collection will make its debut December 18, 2024 and is being launched at the perfect time to coincide with consumers planning out their spring activities.
Co-Founder and Creative Director of Represent George Heaton spoke on the PUMA x 247 collection saying, "At 247, we’ve always sought to push the boundaries of athletic performance, and collaborating with PUMA on this project represents a key milestone in our journey. Our aim was to learn from one of the best in the industry and elevate our product line, starting with the creation of an elite performance running shoe. PUMA, already known for developing the number one shoe in HYROX—a sport with which we’re authentically connected—was the perfect partner to help us achieve this goal."
