PUMA has always sat at the intersection of sports and fashion and we feel we are in the perfect position to translate the culture of the sport into relevant streetwear collections and drive brand heat with a young, affluent, and diverse audience.”
Formula 1 has seen a sharp rise in popularity in recent years, with its fan base becoming younger and more diverse. In our Mission to be Forever.Faster. we are looking forward to partnering with one of the fastest sports on earth, engaging with a more diverse fan base and bringing the inspiration of on-track gear to off-track fashion.

PUMA has a rich history in motorsport, making them the perfect fit for F1 as we take the sport’s apparel to the next level for fans on the street, drivers in the paddock, and everything else in between.”
An exciting journey around the tracks awaits
Our brand stichd, a company for licensed fanwear as well as legwear, bodywear and swimwear, will exclusively operate the fan retail stores during race weekends. These shops will sell Formula 1 licensed products as well as replica teamwear, fanwear, and special edition collections from all ten teams on the Formula 1 grid and F1 legends. stichd will set up to 65 mobile stores at more than 20 races in 19 different countries. The stores are made from durable and lightweight materials, so they can be transported efficiently from one event to the next.
“Selling fanwear at every F1 race is a fun and challenging project because the conditions at every track are different, from the hillsides of Zeltweg and Spa to the city centers of Monaco and Baku. No matter where the race is held, stichd will create a truly immersive fan experience that goes well beyond selling fanwear.”
The first PUMA x Formula 1 products will be available at PUMA stores worldwide and PUMA.com, starting February 2024.
