She was first seen sporting the racy silhouette back in December of last year while out and about wandering the New York City streets. She has since been spotted on more occasions than we can count in both beige and black versions.

Now, the likes of Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lawrence and every cool girl under the sun has invited them into shoe wardrobe, making them one of the hottest trainer options to date, trumping the Adidas Samba and Gazelle.

The style gained so much popularity throughout the year that it was even crowned second place in The Lyst Index’s recent quarterly report. The style, which was first introduced in 1999 in a fireproof version for Formula One drivers, also fuelled the demand for retro trainer silhouettes, with statistics spiking by 523% in August.

If you’re on the hunt for a comfortable chic style to give this Christmas, let the Puma Sparco Speedcat in any hue be your foolproof gift of choice.
