Collection and campaign · April 2026
Priya Ahluwalia: football woven into the fabric
Green knitwear, a print inspired by crowds, a shoe without laces. The PUMA × Ahluwalia collection, presented in April 2026, draws on African football fan culture in several different ways.

The starting point: the supporters
For this April 2026 collection, Priya Ahluwalia draws on supporter cultures, notably in Morocco and Nigeria. PUMA’s archives also feed into the collaboration. It is the partnership’s second chapter, after a first Suede shoe presented in autumn 2025.
On her brand’s website, the designer connects her work with her Indian and Nigerian heritage and her London roots. She describes using textile techniques to explore old garments and surplus fabrics. Behind the prints are places and histories she chooses to bring together. That broader approach does not mean every piece in this collection has the same fabric composition.
Three details to look out for
On the tracksuit photographed, the red and dark motif carries on from the top to the trousers. PUMA describes it as an abstract evocation of a stadium filled with supporters. In the gallery, you can look at the scale of the drawing and its repetition across the two pieces, rather than reducing it to a simple colour.
The knitted outfit offers another interpretation of green, which the brand connects to the Nigerian flag. A small bag repeats a wavy design that echoes PUMA’s Formstrip. Several details connect the look: the garment’s fabric, the accessory’s pattern and the lines of the shoe.
The V-S1 has a low, laceless shape drawn from 2000s football footwear. The product photograph shows two versions: a bright colour palette and a grey-and-black version. It lets you compare the colours on the same shape. This is a fashion presentation; SNA has not tested the shoes’ performance or comfort.
