Runners and revvers unite for a power collab designed to carry Husqvarna’s brand aesthetic to sidewalks, treadmills and bike events around the globe – and it’s all thanks to Husqvarna’s recent partnership with German footwear brand PUMA. 

Meet the PUMA Nitro 2 – an all-distance running shoe, currently carrying a Husqvarna scheme, now available only through authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealers.

We’re told this is the essential equipment that’s dressing the toe beans of the Husqvarna Factory Racing Team… and now, you too can play matchy-matchy with your machine of choice.

If you’re still catching up on our Industry news, be sure to also check out Husqvarna’s new 2024 enduro range, which debuted a few weeks ago – and if you want something a bit spicier, be sure to check out what Husqvarna’s parent company is up to with MV Agusta and KTM AG – specifically, what they think of the Lucky Explorer.

Curious how PUMA’s shoes fit? We’ve got a review of a pair made, back when they collaborated with Ducati.
