Mary Jane Has Entered the Chat

April 3, 2025

For Spring/Summer 2025, PUMA reinvents the timeless Mary Jane with a sporty, modern twist. Blending Y2K nostalgia with forward-thinking design, the Mostro Fey and Speedcat Ballerina emerge as refreshed icons championing the low-profile movement. Inspired by this effortlessly edgy revival, we’ve curated two dynamic looks that reimagine past classics with current trends to help prepare you for the season ahead.

The Shoes

With these bold reworks, PUMA redefines the Mary Jane for another era, paying homage to its roots in the roaring 1920s while intertwining its design DNA with the brand’s archive of performance-driven classics. 

PUMA’s Speedcat Ballerina recently stole the spotlight at Copenhagen Fashion Week, stepping onto the runway with a fresh update. An icon of racing culture, the PUMA Speedcat has been synonymous with speed, precision, and performance for over 25 years. Now, the Speedcat Ballerina merges ballet-like grace with its motosport DNA. It features a metallic upper, embroidered PUMA cat, and elastic bands for a streamlined, ultra-snug fit, perfect for embracing the low-profile trend.

Meanwhile, the Mostro Fey makes its latest debut, merging the surf-meets-track attitude of the original Mostro with the breathable minimalism of a Mary Jane. The signature spiked outsole brings an edge to the sleek, streamlined upper, balancing sport and sophistication, while the new colourway with pops of purple feels undeniably on point for the spring.

The Outfits

Inspired by the spring catwalk and the ever-evolving nature of streetstyle, we’ve styled two distinct outfits that each offer a perspective on the drop. The first gives a decidedly “ballerina off duty” aesthetic, going for graceful yet nonchalant. A pair of hybrid draped trousers taps into the skirt-trouser trend that’s currently captivating Gen Z, offering fluid movement with a directional edge. Up top, a richly ruched blouse with a spiraling silhouette and sculptural intrigue adds depth and drama. Finishing the look off is a normcore essential: the grey hoodie. On its own, it’s understated, but layered with the other loud statement pieces, it acts as an effortless anchor.

Our second outfit takes cues from the unconventional Mostros, eschewing the ordinary for the avant-garde with an Italian flair. A tightly tailored leather miniskirt serves as the fashionable foundation, with its classic A-line cut offering a timeless edge. A simple white tank top is anything but basic, elevated with padded shoulders and modified sides for a more modern profile. The final touch is a royal purple trench, plucked straight from the spring runway and cinched at the waist to deliver a bold, candy-coated finish.

The Accessories

The accessories continue the Mary Jane effect, with classic charm reinterpreted for the modern wardrobe. Look one softens its edgier elements with delicate, ballet-inspired details. A powdery silk headband and a blush-toned tote with polished silver accents bring an air of low-key refinement. Then the metallic theme carries through in a set of silver studs, an eye-catching ear cuff, and a playful charm bracelet – all subtle yet striking. A pair of pink-tinted shades adds the final flourish, finishing the ensemble with a touch of whimsical elegance. 

Look number two embraces understated sophistication. A sleek, dangling silver choker catches the light with every movement, its shape echoed in the handle of a satin bucket bag in that same delicious shade of royal purple. Completing the look, oval sunglasses with tinted lenses lend just the right amount of mysterious allure and timeless appeal.

Keep an eye out – PUMA has plenty more in store. Expect fresh colorways, innovative materials, and bold updates that will make the Speedcat Ballerina and Mostro Fey the season’s must-watch silhouettes.
