BTS has been making waves around the world ever since they became the first ever Kpop group to perform at the American Television Awards, but it was their style that really caught everyone’s attention on the red carpet. And now the boys can add ‘Style Icon’ to their growing list of accomplishments now that they’ve been announced as the next Puma Global Ambassador.
This isn’t BTS’ first time teaming up with Puma – in fact, they just collaborated on an exclusive line last year that saw suede platform shoes and their take on the classic Puma Court Star. But the boys has just been announced as the global ambassadors for Puma, which means that this latest collection will be able ALL over the world, and not just Korea! And yes, that includes Singapore too (take note Singapore ARMYs).
Even though the collection is now available on Puma’s Korea site, they don’t ship overseas. Which means other than resorting to eBay and Airfrov to get your hands on the goods, you’ll have to wait until July. The third collection with BTS sees a renewed take on the classic Puma Turin shoe, backpacks a range of stylistic sportswear. The hottest products has to be the backpacks and the socks, which are all currently sold out on the Puma’s Korea site.

The highlight of the collection is a remixed version of the Turin shoes. Just like the previous Court Star collab, the shoes will also feature the Love Herself logo on the back of the shoes and on the sole. The left shoeplate also features BTS’ debut date – 20130513, with the right one featuring the flower logo.

If you’ve watched your fair share of Korean dramas, you’ll know that tracksuits are great for chilling. In our weather – not so much, but you can’t deny that the tracksuit jacket looks good.
