Puma’s Speedcat Ballet Sneakers Are Officially Trending
Sneakerinas, I have news for you: With all the talk around ballet sneakers happening, there’s a style that’s become a must-have—and you can get them for just $80.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the biggest sneaker trends to grace 2025, there’s no doubt you’ve seen ballet sneakers on the up and up. Major fashion houses like Louis Vuitton have already co-signed this undeniably cool sneaker silhouette, which doesn’t feel too off from the martial arts-inspired sneakers that have taken over the market. All to say: If you haven’t jumped on the ballet-core sneaker trend just yet—now is the time. Still need proof? Puma’s Y2K-inspired Speedcat Ballet—which comes in both leather and satin fabrications—was named as the third hottest product in Lyst’s Q1 Index, right after Celine’s bootcut jeans (once again, thank you, Kendrick Lamar) and the Adidas Taekwondo sneakers. And even Dua Lipa is a fan.
As the perfect combination of a sneaker and a ballet flat, there’s no wrong way to style this—especially during the moments when you want to give your ’fits a sporty edge. If you’re on the fence about sporting the trend, though, you won’t want to wait long before adding these to your cart; stock is already running low. Oh, and be sure to set your calendar reminders for May 21—Puma will be bringing its Speedcat Ballet Metallic back that day, and I guarantee you’ll want them in your closet before they sell out.
