Jil Sander has released the film “New Chapter” about its collaboration with Puma on its YouTube channel. According to Footwear Magazine, the autumn/winter 2026 collection extends the partnership into apparel for the first time. It went on sale worldwide on 23 October in both brands' stores and online shops, and at selected stockists from 24 October. The campaign features Meadow Walker and Barry Lawson, photographed by Guen Fiore.
The centrepiece is a reworked version of Puma's 1968 T7 tracksuit: a boxy jacket and tapered trousers in bi-stretch wool in a custom Club Navy colour, with a brushed silver zip pull and co-branded T7 woven labels. It comes with a long-sleeve top in cotton and recycled polyester. The Speedcat is available in black and white with a full leather lining and an artisanal leather heel detail, while the Suede comes only in white leather with concealed lacing.
The collection is led by Simone Bellotti, Jil Sander's creative director since 2025. The brands first worked together in 1998 on a version of the Puma King football boot; the partnership ended in the mid-2000s. It was revived with Bellotti's debut show for Jil Sander. Founder Jil Sander said in a 2023 interview: “We were the first to conceive of a luxury sneaker.”
