PUMA launches Who Gives a Shirt, a new five-part podcast series hosted by former professional footballer Jack Fowler and content creator Kimberley Cumberbatch.

Each episode features expert guests ranging from designers and dedicated supporters to sports historians, uncovering the stories, memories and meaning woven into football shirts, as well as innovations in design, materials and sustainability that reflect PUMA’s commitment to a FOREVER.BETTER.

“I’m genuinely so excited to be co-hosting this podcast and diving into the amazing stories behind football shirts. It’s wild to see how something as simple as a shirt can mean so much to people, forming part of their identities and core memories”– Jack Fowler

Kerstin Neuber, Senior Director Corporate Communications at PUMA, said: “Football shirts are powerful symbols of fandom, yet their environmental impact is not widely explored. With Who Gives a Shirt, we celebrate their cultural and historical significance while highlighting the designs shaping the future of sportswear. It’s about honoring tradition while driving the game, and the industry, forward in a responsible way.”

Who Gives a Shirt builds on the foundation of PUMA’s Green Flags podcast, continuing to explore the role of sustainability in sport and fashion. While the series celebrates the cultural significance of football shirts, it also considers their environmental impact.

Through its FOREVER.BETTER. platform, PUMA contributes to industry dialogue around more responsible production methods – highlighting innovations such as their RE:FIBRE textile-to-textile recycling initiative, which helps reduce textile waste by giving old garments and factory off-cuts a second life in new products.

Upcoming episodes include:

• Episode 1, Kicking Off – Alongside our hosts, journalist and film producer Xaymaca Awoyungbo explores the origins of football jerseys and how kits were adopted by football clubs around the world
• Episode 2, The Synthetics Switch – Head Writer & Researcher, James Harkin takes the lead to explain the shift to synthetic fabrics and innovations introduced to improve player performance
• Episode 3, Dress Like Your Heroes – In this episode, our hosts are joined by Manchester City superfan, Angela Worrall to discuss the boom in the replica shirts industry and what it meant for fans
• Episode 4, From Goals to Garms – Fashion designer Hattie Crowther joins the hosts to explore how sports-style has influenced the fashion industry and bridged the gap between football and style
• Episode 5, Jerseys for the Future – The series concludes by looking ahead at the future of football jerseys, with insights from Andrew Burgess, one of PUMA’s Voices of a RE:GENERATION and textile upcycler who explains PUMA’s RE:FIBRE material process

PUMA announces early renewal of its long-term partnership with leading fitness sport HYROX – The World Series of Fitness Racing

HYROX, which has successfully created a major movement in the industry by combining running and functional training into one fast-paced competition, is the world’s fastest growing fitness sport. PUMA recognized the great potential of this sport early on and has partnered with HYROX since the first race in Hamburg in 2017 before becoming a global partner in 2023. Since then, PUMA has used the partnership as a successful platform to increase brand awareness with the sport’s many passionate participants and provides performance products that are tailored to the needs of the athletes.

“HYROX, which has grown enormously in recent years, is one of our strategically most important partnerships as a sports brand, and a great showcase for our innovative performance products, such as our combination of NITRO technology and industry leading PUMAGRIP,” said PUMA CEO Arthur Hoeld. “Our products have proven that they support the different requirements of athletes in this very versatile sport and help them to achieve great results. We are very encouraged by the great feedback we have received from athletes and partners alike, which helps us position ourselves even stronger as a sports brand.”

Earlier this year, PUMA introduced its first performance collection for HYROX to include both apparel and footwear and will continue to expand this offering throughout the coming years, adding to its successful PUMA x HYROX collections more product innovations and athlete-driven storytelling, as the partnership continues to evolve toward 2030.

As part of Wednesday’s announcement at the first major of the season in Hamburg, PUMA also announced an exciting expansion of its roster of elite HYROX athletes.

PUMA’s newest HYROX ambassadors include Men’s Open Doubles world record holder, Jake Williamson, Women’s Pro Doubles world record holder and Australia’s fastest female, Joanna Wietrzyk, and Hidde Weersma, the Dutch athlete who won the Men’s pro 25-29 World Championships in 2024 and is the strength and conditioning coach of the NOCNSF – the body responsible for the participation of Dutch athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

They are now part of a roster of more than 60 PUMA-athletes in the sport, including recently crowned 2025 HYROX World Champion Linda Meier, 2024 HYROX World Champion Megan Jacoby and three-time HYROX World Champion and Men’s Pro world record holder Hunter McIntyre amongst others.

PUMA’s Vice President of Brand and Marketing, Richard Teyssier, commented: “The continuation of this partnership for the next years reinforces PUMA’s commitment to the growth of fitness racing and provides the right platform to increase our brand awareness within the HYROX community and beyond. On top of that, bringing together these outstanding athletes to our global team underlines our commitment to championing the next generation of fitness talent and to win the hearts of HYROX racers, positioning PUMA as the community’s most trusted and innovative brand.”

“This partnership marks a defining milestone in our journey, and the progress we’ve made has been nothing short of remarkable. Last year, we solidified this collaboration with PUMA becoming the official global apparel and footwear partner for all HYROX events, and today, extending this partnership to 2030 sets the stage for the next chapter of our evolution,” Moritz Fürste, Co-Founder of HYROX, added. “From our very first race in Hamburg in 2017, PUMA has been with us since day one – a rarity in the world of sports partnerships. This relationship has not only shaped the identity of HYROX but has been truly foundational to the growth of the sport itself. This extended partnership allows us to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation, inspiring athletes, and ensuring that HYROX remains accessible to competitors of all levels, across the globe. PUMA’s Go Wild philosophy aligns seamlessly with the HYROX spirit – fearless, authentic, and relentlessly driven. Together, we’re excited to continue challenging limits and empowering individuals to unlock their full potential.”

With a remarkable 100% year-on-year increase, HYROX continues to soar in popularity. The 2024/25 season saw 74 events being held and attracted more than 650,000 participants. As the sport’s momentum continues, the 2025/ 26 season is set to draw 1.3 million participants across over 100 events by 2026, cementing HYROX as a global fitness phenomenon.

Celebrating the unique and early renewal of their contract extension, PUMA will be present in HYROX hometown for over four action-packed days at the Hamburg Exhibition Halls. The event will feature the first Major of the season, with elite racing taking center stage as top tier athletes compete at the highest level. Over 15,000 athletes will compete in the ultimate test of strength and endurance, PUMA’s vision for HYROX for the next five years begins to unfold.

Amazfit welcomes back Hunter McIntyre and expands its elite athlete team for the 2025/26 HYROX season with Rich Ryan, Joanna Wietrzyk, Emilie Dahmen, and Linda Meier

MILPITAS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Amazfit, a leading global smart wearables brand by Zepp Health (NYSE: ZEPP), and the Official Timing & Wearable Partner of HYROX, today announced the expansion of its HYROX athlete roster, with Hunter McIntyre (USA) returning for another season and four standout competitors joining the team: Rich Ryan (USA), Joanna Wietrzyk (Australia), Emilie Dahmen (Netherlands), and Linda Meier (Germany).

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250929662494/en/

Amazfit welcomes back Hunter McIntyre and expands its elite athlete team for the 2025/26 HYROX season with Rich Ryan, Joanna Wietrzyk, Emilie Dahmen, and Linda Meier

This roster reflects Amazfit’s commitment to supporting both proven champions and emerging talent in functional fitness racing, while integrating athlete feedback directly into product innovation.

Hunter McIntyre – Widely regarded as the face of HYROX, McIntyre remains one of the sport’s most dominant and influential athletes. A multiple-time champion with a loyal fanbase, he continues to push boundaries in competition and beyond, leading training camps and outdoor adventure races. McIntyre has been instrumental in Amazfit product development, relying on the rugged Amazfit T-Rex series to fuel his relentless pursuit of podium finishes.

“I’m excited to be returning to Team Amazfit for another few years. The products are great, they listen to me when I have input, and I feel like I am getting actionable insights that are helping to drive my training. We almost got it done last year in Chicago — this year I’m here for the gold.”

-Hunter McIntyre

Rich Ryan – Known for his data-driven approach and coaching influence, Ryan brings dual impact as an elite competitor and educator. One of the fastest men on the HYROX course, he pairs his athlete achievements with seminars and coaching through his RMR training company. Ryan’s deep demand for precision aligns seamlessly with Amazfit’s Balance 2 and Helio series, making him a trusted partner in advancing performance metrics for athletes everywhere.

“I joined Team Amazfit because of their commitment to HYROX and hybrid training. I believe hybrid training and competition can help athletes grow into healthier, more effective versions of themselves, and having partners who share those values is really important to me. I’m also excited to collaborate with the team at Amazfit, who continue to push innovation and show real ambition in this space.”

-Rich Ryan

Joanna Wietrzyk – A breakout star from Australia, Wietrzyk stunned the HYROX community with a second-place finish in Chicago. A former competitive tennis player, she is quickly emerging as a top contender across solo and doubles formats. Wietrzyk, who will be sporting the Amazfit T-Rex 3, values her close collaboration with Amazfit’s sports marketing team and is poised to elevate both her career and the brand’s visibility globally.

“After an incredible first season in HYROX, I’m focused on building momentum and pushing my performance even further this year. That means going beyond what I’ve done before and partnering with teams that truly support the way I train, recover, and compete. Amazfit does exactly that. Their technology helps me stay consistent and intentional, whether I’m tracking key metrics during intense sessions or monitoring recovery post-race. Amazfit gives me the right tools to train smarter, stay balanced and continue progressing – and that’s what makes this partnership so exciting.”

-Joanna Wietrzyk

Emilie Dahmen – One of the sport’s most exciting rising stars, Dahmen captured attention by winning two HYROX races in her debut season and finishing sixth at the World Championships. Still early in her career, she represents the next generation of HYROX talent. Dahmen’s embrace of Amazfit wearables, specifically the Balance 2 and Helio Strap, makes her a natural fit for the team as she continues her rapid ascent.

“I hadn’t relied on a watch or performance data before, and reaching the HYROX Elite 15 without it was already a huge achievement. Partnering with Amazfit now gives me the tools to train smarter, recover better, and truly compete at the highest level. Their technology helps me unlock even more potential, and I hope to inspire others to see how powerful smart training can be.”

-Emilie Dahmen

Linda Meier – The reigning HYROX World Champion, Meier delivered a career-defining performance in Chicago to secure her title. Already a respected competitor, her consistency and professionalism make her an invaluable ambassador. Meier relies on the Amazfit Helio Strap and the Amazfit T-Rex 3 for advanced data insights, helping her balance performance and recovery at the highest level.

“With Amazfit by my side, I can combine my World Champion spirit with smart technology – showing that anyone can push beyond their limits with the right tools.”

-Linda Meier

“Our partnership with HYROX is about helping athletes maximize every moment of training, performance, and recovery,” said Scott Shepley, Head of Global Marketing of Amazfit. “By signing a roster that blends world champions with promising new talent, we’re reinforcing Amazfit’s role as the performance partner of choice for athletes who trust data to fuel their goals.”

As part of Team Amazfit, these athletes will contribute to product testing, content storytelling, and community engagement, ensuring Amazfit continues to deliver cutting-edge tools that meet the evolving demands of functional fitness athletes.

Athletes and fans can explore Amazfit’s full range of smart wearables — including the T-Rex series, Balance 2, Active 2, and Helio Strap — at www.amazfit.com, and follow the brand’s HYROX journey throughout the 2025/26 season.
