The PUMA flagship was highly critical for PUMA North America as its first standalone store in New York and the first of its kind in North America. The experience begins for the consumer before they even step in the store—the storefront façade was inspired by the iconic PUMA tread. In a design-build effort, Shawmut and Design Republic brought the store’s eye-catching façade to life with 231 pieces of glass and 460 lights. The interior finishes reflect an urban industrial feel with concrete columns and floors complimented by an exposed industrial ceiling design.

Customers also have the opportunity to interact with the brand and partnering artists and designers in the exclusive customization studio using paints, dips, dyes, patchwork, embroidery, 3D-knitting and laser printing.
