In an exciting announcement that sent ripples through both the fashion and motorsport worlds, sports company PUMA and renowned music artist, creative, and designer A$AP Rocky have officially revealed their long-term creative partnership. Rooted in the motorsport industry, this collaboration marks a significant intersection of sport and streetwear, as A$AP Rocky takes on the role of Creative Director for this dynamic category.

PUMA, a brand with an illustrious history in motorsport, recently unveiled a groundbreaking partnership with Formula 1, solidifying its status as the exclusive licensee and trackside retailer at all Formula 1 races. This move was a clear indication of PUMA’s eagerness to explore the potential of streetwear and fashion beyond the race track, tapping into a diverse and passionate audience.
The partnership with A$AP Rocky, a prominent figure in fashion and music, is poised to breathe new life into the growing Formula 1 audience. Rocky’s profound fashion knowledge, unique style, and cultural expertise are set to infuse a fresh perspective into the world of F1 and PUMA.

A$AP Rocky’s influence on the brand will evolve in phases, beginning with an innovative « in the lab » approach. This phase is dedicated to creative exploration, paving the way for exciting future possibilities within the category. In the coming months, Rocky will start by impacting visuals and video content for PUMA, showcasing his unique vision. Rocky’s debut campaign, for which he has donned the hats of both creative director and producer, delves into car culture in America and the profound impact it has on streetwear and fashion. This campaign promises to be a visual feast that explores the connection between motorsport and style. Later this year, A$AP Rocky is set to unveil a highly anticipated and extremely limited PUMA x F1 collection. This exclusive line of apparel and accessories will provide a tantalizing glimpse into a series of capsule collections planned for 2024, coinciding with high-visibility Formula 1 races.

In 2024, Rocky will channel his creative energy into several Grand Prix races, beginning with Miami. Collaborating with both the PUMA and Formula 1 teams, he has been instrumental in conceptualizing and designing these collections. Moreover, he will curate engaging activations at each race and lead the charge as the creative director for all the marketing efforts associated with these collections. By 2025, A$AP Rocky has grand plans to immerse himself completely in the creative process, overseeing the holistic product design of the entire PUMA x F1 product range. This will span from racewear to fanwear to high fashion. Additionally, he will continue to actively participate in marketing, with an ongoing commitment to bringing innovation to the category through revolutionary product design and marketing concepts.
