Just as the countdown to the release of 'Wicked: For Good' accelerates, fans can now dive into an Oz-inspired fashion adventure. Puma has unveiled an irresistible new collection drawing inspiration from the spellbinding world of 'Wicked.' Blending whimsical elements and Puma's iconic athletic design, this latest release promises to transport you straight to the heart of the Emerald City.
With pieces designed for both adults and children, the collection brings the magic of 'Wicked' to life through a series of apparel and footwear selections. Highlights include the 'Puma x Wicked' Speedcat sneakers, embodying the spirit of the beloved characters Elphaba and Glinda with unique features and hues. The Glinda-inspired 'Goodness' sneaker shimmers in a dreamy lilac, adorned with sheer ribbons and bubble embroidery, perfectly capturing the light and airy essence of Glinda. Meanwhile, the Elphaba-themed sneaker, aptly named 'Elphie,' offers a moody contrast with its deep black and emerald tones set against a luxurious crushed velvet texture.

The foundation of the Speedcat sneaker lies in its Formula 1 origins, boasting a silhouette that is strikingly aerodynamic and flexible. Both the Elphie and Goodness iterations retail at $110, a price point that reflects their value as both a collector’s item and a fashion staple, remaining consistent with Puma’s standard Speedcat pricing.
Adding another dimension to this OZ-inspired lineup is the Speedcat Ballet Silver Slippers, an homage to Dorothy's iconic shoes—originally silver in L. Frank Baum's tale. Retailing for $90, these ballet flats feature a sleek silver finish, highlighted with metallic outsoles and glistening straps, an elegant nod to the original story's footwear.

This hoodie, available for $100, is expertly designed to keep you snug in style, featuring fleece material and charming butterfly motifs that would be the envy of any Glinda fan.
For those seeking something more relaxed, the collection also boasts a graphic Oz Tee, retailing for $50. With sizes ranging from XS to XXL, its soft cotton fabric ensures a comfortable wear, whether you're braving cooler climes or just need a stylish layering piece.
Finally, the collection includes the Oz Fleece Hoodie at $100, sporting an emerald green hue with pink accents, a perfect garment for snuggling up during a cozy movie night. "The Wizard sees everything" reads the front, a reminder of the enchanting mysteries that await in the magical world of Oz.
