Puma released multiple collaborative launches as soon as it stepped into 2023. So far, the label has joined hands with the likes of SpongeBob, Dixie D'Amelio, Palomino, and more, all of which garnered a lot of attention.
The label is currently celebrating its 75th anniversary. As part of the celebrations, it has continued to launch playful colorways upon its classic sneaker models. The collaborations that have dropped in the first three months of 2023 have also not disappointed sneakerheads.
To give a shoutout to the German label for its 75th anniversary, Sportskeeda has compiled a list of its 5 best sneaker collabs, launched until March 2023.
