Emily Ratajkowski, who understands the art of curating a stylish off-duty look, walked her dog in New York City on Oct. 8 wearing a pair of brown Puma Speedcat sneakers — which have already been declared as the “it” sneaker of 2024.
Ratajkowski mastered the comfy-cute aesthetic in a pair of slouchy black sweatpants from Hymne, which feature the brand’s “dart” design in front. A pair of Hymne sweatpants in a hue called light grey heather is marked at a price point of $265.

Ratajkowski kept it casual with a mustard yellow athletic T-shirt which she wore underneath a cream colored button-down jacket; she wore this layer with the sleeves rolled up, emphasizing her aura of effortlessness. A noted fan of a beanie, she accessorized with a black knit cap in addition to yellow-rimmed sunglasses and hoop earrings.
Ratajkowski rounded out her look with a pair of Puma Speedcat sneakers, a style she’s reached frequently for in recent times. She owns the shoe in multiple colors, including black and red versions, both of which she took out for springtime jaunts in April. The supermodel has now revealed she has a brown iteration in her wardrobe.
Puma is re-releasing the archival colorway referred to as Haute Coffee-Frosted Ivory in the coming days; it will be available to order on Oct. 12 at 10 a.m. EDT. Alongside another archival colorway called Team Light Blue-Club Navy, the Archive Speedcat sneakers will retail for $100. They feature a suede upper with a leather Puma Formstrip in addition to the company’s cat logo branding.
The Speedcat style has been around for more than a quarter century, having first been created as a fireproof shoe for Formula 1 drivers.
When she isn’t wearing Puma Speedcats with her go-to transitional weather jacket, Ratajkowski has shown love for a number of other sneaker brands. She’s worn black Reebok sneakers recently in addition to Oakley sneakers. See more of her footwear style below.
