With July going down as the month of Suede at PUMA, with two major releases in the form of Street Fighter x PUMA Suede and A$AP Rocky x PUMA Suede ’94. Back to the regular programming, the brand has unveiled its Back to Business as part of its final chapter for its collaboration with SAYSKY. The latest PUMA x SAYSKY drop is rooted in the mindset of runners who carry their passion for the sport into all aspects of their day-to-day.
Copenhagen-based performance running brand SAYSKY, has been challenging the conventions of running since 2013 in the form of technical apparel and accessories for all types of runners, who refuse to choose between speed and style. To achieve this, the company blends uncompromising performance with contemporary design, producing products that perform to the highest levels while still standing out from the crowd, thanks to impressive design and striking colours. That mindset continues with the final collection pack from the PUMA x SAYSKY collaboration.
For the average runner, the next mile or kilometre is never too far from their mind. Whether you’re running before dawn breaks, between your commitments or even after hours, running is always part of the plan. For these runners, it is woven into the decisions they make daily – from the routes they map out and the goals they chase. Because for runners, running is their business.
The collection is headlined by two running silhouettes, which are exclusive editions of two of PUMA’s popular running shoes. This includes the PUMA x SAYSKY Deviate NITRO Elite 4 and the PUMA x SAYSKY MagMax NITRO 2.
The MagMax NITRO 2: PUMA and SAYSKY’s Everyday Trainer Gets a Business-Casual Redesign
The collection has been inspired by classic business attire and, thus, the PUMA x SAYSKY Back to Business collection reimagines everyday tailoring through a performance lens. With the tagline “every runner is a star,” PUMA x SAYSKY celebrates all runners with eye-catching gear that stands out in SAYSKY’s trademark style. Both silhouettes feature SAYSKY’s signature Scandinavian design language with PUMA’s advanced running technology.
Designed for everyday training, the PUMA x SAYSKY MagMax NITRO 2 features maximum cushioning with its high-stack build thanks to the NITROFOAM midsole. Additionally, it also includes a breathable engineered knit upper and a durable PUMAGRIP outsole, providing comfort and bounce across every mile.
The Deviate NITRO Elite 4: A Carbon-Plated Race Shoe Dressed for the Boardroom
Albeit a touch more reserved than the MagMax NITRO 2, the PUMA x SAYSKY Deviate NITRO Elite 4 is built for race day. It features a design engineered for speed with its NITROFOAM ELITE cushioning, which delivers exceptional responsiveness and energy return. It is paired with a full-length PWRPLATE carbon-fibre plate for maximum propulsion and efficiency in each stride.
Pinstripes Meet Performance Fabric: Inside the Back to Business Apparel Line
With SAYSKY known for its attention to detail with its apparel and accessories, it would be amiss to not include examples of this as part of the drop. To complete the collection, the PUMA x SAYSKY collection features a mix of premium apparel and accessories, which transforms business inspired design cues into technical running essentials.
This collection features lightweight performance materials, along with elevated construction and refined details in order to create versatile pieces built for runners moving between work, training and day-to-day life.
When and Where to Buy the PUMA x SAYSKY Back to Business Collection
As the final chapter of the PUMA x SAYSKY collaboration, Back to Business reflects the belief that running extends far beyond the miles logged. It influences how runners think, move and approach each day. PUMA officially launches the collection on 20 August 2026, which will be available on PUMA.com, PUMA Retail stores, as well as Shelflife.
To mark the exciting launch, PUMA and SAYSKY will be hosting the Out of Office Relay in Copenhagen on launch day. Essentially, the brands will be turning the Back to Business concept into a real-world running experience. Taking its cues from the collection, the running course will take place in a transformed office building. This will take participants through various obstacles, including elevators, stairwells and parking garages, before culminating in an evening of food, drinks and celebration.
