Puma and BMV are teaming up for an iconic partnership that will pay tribute to the first legendary BMW Art Car by Alexander Calder.
A capsule collection full of history, the Puma x BMV M Motorsport Alexander Calder Art Car collection pays homage to the 93 BMW 3.0 CSL driven by Hervé Poulain in the Le Mans 24-hour race. While Poulain didn’t win the race, the car became an iconic and instantly recognizable symbol in the racing world, thus leading the inspiration behind this capsule.
Featuring a range of exclusive apparel and footwear, the collection is a constant-reference to the legacy of BMW’s Art Car series as it includes a full outfit consisting of a shirt, shorts, two T-shirts, a ball cap and a pair of the iconic Puma suede sneakers, all of which are influenced by the Calder’s revolutionary BMW design.

Described by the brand as an intersecting collection that are “wearable pieces of art,” the designated apparel and footwear are deemed as collectors items that combine the bold aesthetic of Calder’s designs with PUMA’s renowned craftsmanship and style. The shirt is priced at $90. The Puma X BMW M Motorsport woven shirt is one of the main apparel standouts in this collection as it’s crafted in cotton, designed in a seersucker style and emphasized by a bold mixture of colors that include blue, yellow and red.
As for the Puma X BMW M Motorsport suede sneakers, those take on the typical Puma suede design with double laces, a textile lining and a durable rubber outsole.
These shoes, however, embody Calder’s embroidery graphics, the BMW M Motorsport metal pin on the heel and the number 93 debossed on the medial of the shoe. The sneakers cost $110. This limited edition collection ranges between $50 and $110 and is now available to shop in selected PUMA stores and online.
