As part of its FW25 collection, Japanese label Graphpaper has put a pared-back spin on a retro PUMA model. Joining Takayuki Minami’s assortment of sleek tailoring, workwear silhouettes, and bold basics, the PUMA SPEEDCAT Plus provides a versatile sneaker to go with Graphpaper’s refined Autumn collection.

The minimal makeup of the Graphpaper SPEEDCAT Plus contrasts with the 1999-born sneaker’s rugged racetrack history. Based on the fireproof racing shoes worn by Formula 1 Grand Prix drivers from the 1980s to the 1990s, the shoe boasts racing-inspired overlays and an aerodynamic silhouette. Graphpaper opts for dynamic materials on the monochrome upper, featuring smooth, short suede and nubuck leather. All the way down to the sole and embroidery, the entire shoe is cast in a neutral tan hue, which is also found throughout the apparel collection.

Following up on a roll of sneaker collabs with Mizuno, Graphpaper also unveiled a Converse collaboration in March 2025. Inspired by the classic “Jack Purcell” model, Converse and Graphpaper’s collaboration represented their take on the sneaker-loafer trend with a suede-led makeup, similar to the new SPEEDCAT Plus. The tan suede also echoes Graphpaper’s collaboration with Reproduction of Found, centering on Russian Military Trainer model.

The Graphpaper x PUMA SPEEDCAT Plus is set for release on August 30 at Graphpaper and PUMA‘s webstores, as well as Graphpaper’s shops in Tokyo and Aoyama.
