Start your engines! A$AP Rocky and Puma are back with another capsule collection inspired by the fast-paced world of racing.
Marrying classic streetwear, vibrant hues and motorsport DNA, this collection is imbued with Rocky’s flair. This capsule includes apparel, accessories and footwear all fixed with racing motifs, a signature we saw a lot when the rapper was tapped as Creative Director for Puma’s Formula 1 partnership. This time around, we’ve got bodysuits, sweats, tees and trucker hats for both men and women, along with the coolest sneakers. Rocky also dug into the archives for this one, settling on the Inhale and Mostro OG silhouettes, two of his faves, reupping them in his own image.
“I had the opportunity to dig into Puma’s archives and blend together the best of several shoes while adding my own lens and style,” Rocky said in a Puma press release. “You have the sleekness of the Mostro OG, the innovation and technology of the Puma disc, and the cage around the shoe for added protection. All together this created the Mostro Gabbia aka the Caged Puma, an entirely new silhouette.”
We’ve picked out a few favorites to browse now on Puma’s website. Here’s how to shop the collection like a pro.
A$AP Rocky x Puma Inhale Men's Sneakers
A racer-inspired silhouette with neon accents.
These men’s sneakers will take you far. Made of mixed synthetic uppers in a “Silver-Flat Medium Gray” colorway these low-top race-ready shoes have got it all. Inspired by headlights and streetlights on midnight drives, the sneaker is equipped with colorful neon blue and yellow laces that transition into fast and fluid red flame-like accents on the soles and sides.
Said soles are made of durable non-slip rubber made to withstand harsh hiking trails or the city streets. Finally, Flacko branding can be seen standing proud on the tongue, proudly repping Rocky’s involvement in the shoe’s design. These would look great with a denim-on-denim moment ala the famed Canadian tuxedo. Wherever your journey takes you, the Inhale is bound to get you there.
A$AP Rocky x Puma Mostro OG Mens' Shoes
A black and chrome low-top sneaker.
While black sneakers can be a challenge to style, these collaborative Mostro OG sneakers are a major exception for a few reasons. Firstly, the black color scheme is offset by the silver accents embossed with a wild and wonderful snake print, making the silhouette endlessly more versatile than a monochrome sneaker.
These men’s kicks also include daring spiked soles that offer an edge and a sculptural silhouette that forms to the foot, offering fluidity of movement. Elasticated closures offer a dynamic look and ease of wear, harkening back to the overall sporty feel of the collection. We can easily see this sneaker fitting into your everyday rotation. Wear these with jorts for a sporty vibe or your favorite dressy slacks to create contrast. The styling options are truly endless.
A$AP Rocky x Puma Tool Box Bag
A tool box-inspired bag in silver chrome.
Inspired by the look of a toolbox, this bag will certainly turn heads. This accessory is crafted of structured high-shine silver chrome patent leather that’s strong enough to stand all on its own accompanied by embossed Puma x A$AP Rocky branding that makes the bag instantly recognizable. The handle on this piece is short and long, mimicking the utilitarian vibes of a toolbox kept on the sidelines of a racing track. Little metal feet also keep the bag from toppling over. The rectangular base offers ample room to store all your must-haves from lip gloss to keys. This bag is for our statement-makers. Those who aren’t afraid of grabbing attention.
A$AP Rocky x Puma Men's Denim Shorts
Denim jorts with the Puma logo on the front.
Who doesn’t love denim? Puma denim at that. Made of sturdy dark wash denim, this style melds form with fashion seamlessly. Our favorite feature is the five pockets, leaving you with ample storage room for whatever you decide to carry around. The laser-printed Puma Cat logo at the front is also a nice touch, drawing the eye to all the important bits. Embroidered form strips sit on the back pockets in tan, contrasting the deep wash. We’d likely style these with a crisp white tee, sporty sneakers and a racing jacket to lean into the high-camp sporty vibes.
A$AP Rocky x Puma Quilted Sweatpants
Racing-inspired quilted sweats in blue.
Sweats have never looked so good. This collaborative piece is made of a bright blue quilted 100% recycled polyester made to look slightly distressed for that “just raced down the track” look. Boasting a slim fit, deep back pockets and a medium rise, these sweats are just dressy enough to get away with wearing it out and about.
Graphic patches line the front, paying homage to classic branded racing jackets. A$AP Rocky and Puma branding can be spotted throughout, offering the sweats ample visual interest. We recommend pairing this piece with a neutral graphic tee in black or white to offset the colorful nature of the sweats. Or go full matchy-matchy with the complimenting quilted sweatshirt from this collection.
A$AP Rocky x Puma Cat Belt
A black leather belt with Puma’s Cat logo utilized as a buckle.
Belts are pretty essential to crafting the perfect outfit. The Puma Cat Belt is both utilitarian and fashionable, keeping your pants in place while adding a certain ” je ne sais quoi” to your look. Adorned with a silver Puma’s Cat logo buckle, this piece is grounded with a black leather strap that’s studded and branded to high-heaven. If you’re looking for an impactful accessory, you’re in the right place. We’d style this belt with simple denim in a baggy style so that the belt has a chance to shine.
A$AP Rocky x Puma Bodysuit
A racing-inspired long-sleeve bodysuit.
While some bodysuits are usually neutral and simple, this collaborative Puma piece is anything but. You’ve got racing graphics galore and a dramatic cut that sits high on the hips. What’s not to love? The long sleeves offer extra coverage while the form fit is flattering on just about every body type. The bodysuit is made of a mix of stretchy and breathable polyester and elastane. To aptly highlight this bodysuit, we recommend wearing this with low-waisted pants. Think cargos or jeans, something that will show off the bodysuit’s high cut and fit.

Watch Eminem’s Hilarious Outtakes From ‘Happy Gilmore 2’: ‘Put Some Respect on My Name, B—h’
Eminem made a memorable cameo in Happy Gilmore 2, in which he played the role of Donald Jr. Now, Netflix has released the outtakes from his hilarious scenes, which Em posted to Instagram on Friday (Aug. 1).
In the sequel, Slim Shady pays homage to his character’s father — played by late comedian Joe Flaherty in the original film — by shouting “jackass” during Happy Gilmore’s (Adam Sandler) backswing.
Instead of handling Donald Jr. himself, Happy Gilmore instructs his kids in the flick to take care of him, disposing of him in a nearby pond. Unfortunately, Donald Jr. meets his demise while attempting to wrestle with a family of gators.
“Come on, fake a— dinosaur, you ain’t got a d—k,” Em jokes while battling the alligators in the outtakes. “Put some respect on my name, b—h! F—k you, Detroit, what? I get some Advil, I’ll be back in 20 minutes.”
Fans seemed to enjoy seeing Eminem back in the acting world. “That was awesome! Detroit what,” one person wrote in the Instagram comments. “You should get out more man, do more of this kind of stuff. Us stans need MORE!”
Another added in his comment section: “You’re naturally funny! Please release the whole 1 hour video of you in Happy Gilmore!”
Happy Gilmore 2 hit Netflix on July 25. On the The Dan Patrick Show last month, Sandler revealed how he convinced Em to be part of the sequel.
“I love Eminem. I’m friends with Eminem, but I don’t want to bother the man,” he said. “And everybody kept saying, ‘Man, Eminem would be so funny in this part.’ I was like, ‘I don’t want to ruin this guy’s time. He’s hanging out. He’s in Detroit. He’s doing his life making records.'”
Eventually, Sandler caved after agreeing that Em would be a perfect fit for the role. “Let me bug Marshall and give him a call and say, ‘Dude, I know it’s a pain in the a—, but it’s pretty funny. You mind shooting out to us for a day?’” To which Eminem obliged and the rest is history.

Stevie Nicks Postpones 2 Months of Shows Due to Shoulder Injury, Apologizes For ‘Inconvenience’
Stevie Nicks has had a change of plans after suffering a recent injury, with the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman announcing Friday (Aug. 1) that her next two months of shows will be postponed as she heals.
In a note shared to her social media accounts, Nicks’ team wrote, “Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks’ scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled.”
Noting that the star will proceed with her shows in October as scheduled, the message concludes, “Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience.”
Fans with tickets to any of the postponed performances are encouraged to hold onto their seats, as all previously purchased tickets will be honored at their corresponding rescheduled shows. More information can be found at point of purchase.
Nicks had been slated to perform in a handful of cities across the United States and Canada across August and September, including Detroit, Toronto, Boston, Cincinnati and Brooklyn, N.Y. All of the postponed shows have already been rescheduled to new dates in late October, November and the first couple of weeks in December, as listed in the rock star’s post and on her website.
The news of Nicks’ injury comes more than three months after she first announced her solo tour in April, writing at the time that she couldn’t “wait to share these nights with you.”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer had also been supposed to tour with Billy Joel this year, but the Piano Man similarly had to cancel all of his 2025 and 2026 performances as he battles a condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus. In July, he provided an update on how he’s faring, telling Bill Maher, “I feel good … They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I’m feeling.”
Nicks is currently working on a new album, her first in 14 years. The Grammy winner first revealed that she was getting back into the studio as she was being inducted into the Pollstar Hall of Fame.
“I call it the ghost record,” she said in her speech. “It just really kinda happened in the last couple of weeks because of, you know, the [Los Angeles] fires. I was sitting in a hotel for 92 days, and at some point during that last part of the 92 days, I said, ‘You know what? I feel like I’m on the road, but there’s no shows. I’m just sitting here by myself, because everybody else is at the house, doing all the remediations and everything, and it’s just me, sitting here.’ And I thought, ‘You need to go back to work.’ And I did.”

7 Best Moments From Dead & Company’s Kickoff Celebrating 60 Years of the Grateful Dead in SF
Much has changed in San Francisco over the last six decades. But all these years later, the music of the Grateful Dead can still draw a significant crowd to Golden Gate Park, where the revered rock band played some of its earliest shows just blocks from the house on 710 Ashbury Street, where its members set up shop in the mid-1960s.
Only some of those founding members remain today — iconic frontman Jerry Garcia died 30 years ago, while bassist Phil Lesh passed away last October — but two surviving members, Bobby Weir and Mickey Hart, brought their decade-old outfit Dead & Company to Golden Gate Park on Friday (Aug. 1) night for the first of three shows celebrating 60 years since the Grateful Dead’s 1965 debut.
Rounded out by John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane, Dead & Company has become a live music juggernaut in its own right since its 2015 formation. In 2023, the year it staged its final tour, Dead & Company grossed $114.7 million across 28 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore; in 2024, it launched its Dead Forever residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere, grossing $131.8 million across 30 shows. (The band continued the residency in 2025 with 18 more concerts.) Along the way, Dead & Company has introduced a new generation of fans to the Dead’s music and subculture — while offering older Deadheads more opportunities to enjoy them.
This cross-generational appeal was on display in Golden Gate Park on Friday, where the jamgrass sensation Billy Strings — who was only 2 when Jerry Garcia died — opened the show for an audience that spanned from kids to old-timers who just might’ve been at the Dead’s earliest shows in the park in the mid-60s.
Here are some of the best moments from the first show of Dead & Company’s three-night run in Golden Gate Park. And when you’re done with that, here’s the complete setlist.
