Following a period of solo pursuits, BLACKPINK returns to the stage as a reinvigorated quartet. During the group’s sabbatical, Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé continued their foray into fashion, with ROSÉ emerging as a prominent figure in the core and aspirational tiers of streetwear through her partnership with PUMA, particularly around the Speedcat silhouette.

About the ROSÉ x PUMA Speedcat Collection

New images have surfaced, revealing two balletcore interpretations of the PUMA Speedcat. These pairs, crafted in leather and suede, initially integrate seamlessly into the extensive Speedcat lineup. However, subtle details—such as “ROSIE” branding on the tongue and insole—set them apart.

This branding choice diverges from previous campaigns, which have typically highlighted ROSÉ’s name more prominently. A deeper inspection of the size labels, marked “1124”, suggests that production wrapped in November 2024, just ahead of the release of ROSÉ’s debut studio album, Rosie.

Given the timing, it appears likely that these Speedcat and Speedcat Ballet Suede models were intended to launch in conjunction with the album. While there is speculation that these pairs may have been produced as exclusive promotional items for ROSÉ, the commercial appeal of her brand does suggest a broader release would be a strategic move for PUMA.

In her most recent campaign, shared via Instagram in mid-April, ROSÉ was seen wearing the Ballet Suede. This silhouette taps into the ongoing balletcore trend, blending athletic and dance-inspired aesthetics.

Release Details

Despite the lack of an official ROSÉ x PUMA Speedcat Collection announcement, anticipation remains high. Stay tuned for confirmed release details on PUMA.com regarding the Rosie-inspired footwear. For now, the official images offer a detailed preview of what could become one of the year’s best collaborations.
