Change is a marathon, not a sprint, with each stride bringing us closer to our goal. It is with this belief that PUMA created RUN PUMA x FIRST MILE, a collection of sustainable running gear featuring pieces made from at least 47% recycled materials.
But it’s more than turning plastic into product: The collaboration is rooted in cooperative opportunity and human connection—common threads that unite those trying to do better. Empowered people, cleaner planet—from the First Mile forward.
