Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski’s Puma Speedcat Sneakers Are Selling Out

In the past few years, Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski have emerged as two of the biggest trendsetters in fashion. Whether Lipa is dropping yet another Instagram dump from a tropical beach vacation or Ratajkowski is photographed by paparazzi while walking her dog in downtown Manhattan, the style icons always manage to look effortlessly chic.   

All of this is to say that when a product or trend gets the stamp of approval from either celebrity, you can be sure that it’s cool—and the Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers have recently been spotted on both of them. With their sleek, classic silhouette, these lightweight suede and leather sneakers are inspired by Formula 1 racing culture. Now that both Lipa and Ratajkowski have worn the style on multiple occasions, it’s safe to say that the Speedcats are in the running as the next big sneaker trend of fall.      

Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers in Black-and-White

From the retro silhouette to the suede formstrip and embroidered Puma cat logo, the Speedcats have a street style vibe that are similar to other “It” sneakers, like the Adidas Sambas. Despite their statement-making look, they are surprisingly versatile, which has been proven by the different ways Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski have styled theirs. For example, Ratajkowski has worn her cherry-red pair with everything from a lacy slip dress to sweats and a hoodie. 

Meanwhile, Lipa recently paired her black Speedcats with a loungewear set consisting of a bralette and matching biker shorts. On another occasion, the “Houdini” singer styled her red Speedcats with a sheer halter top, baggy jeans, and a slicked-back bun. While the red colorway favored by Lipa and Ratajkowski is sold out nearly everywhere, there are a few men’s sizes remaining on Farfetch, and a couple of the women’s sizes in the black-and-white version at Nordstrom.  

Puma Suede XI Sneakers in All Time Red

If neither of the Speedcat colorways are left in your size, there’s no need to stress. I found a few other Puma styles that will give any outfit the same laidback, street style edge. For fans of the bright right Speedcats, try the Suede XI Sneakers in the same shade.They have a chunkier look with a thick white sole, and they’re also available in pastel blue, purple, and pink.  

Puma Palermo Sneakers in Black

Or, for another sneaker that Ratajkowski loves, try the black-and-gray Puma Palermos. After the model sported them all spring, these gum-soled shoes became the unrivaled “cool-girl” sneakers of summer 2024. I’ve personally been wearing mine all season, dressing them up with boho maxi skirts and slip dresses.

The Palermos are also available at Nordstrom in a bubblegum pink and green colorway for those who like to add a pop of unexpected color to their fall wardrobe. I love the idea of styling them with baggy low-rise jeans and an oversized sweatshirt for a casual transitional look.  

Whether you’re quick enough (pun intended) to hop on the Speedcats trend, or you’re planning to indulge in a different pair of sneakers from the celebrity-loved brand, your Pumas are guaranteed to get you through the fall in both comfort and style.
