The Colibri Trainer from Puma combines style, comfort, and performance. Known for its sleek design and lightweight construction, the Colibri Trainer has gained a significant following since its introduction in 1979 - hailed by many as one of the original casual lads silhouettes from the 80s.
The story of the Puma Colibri begins with the founding of Puma, one of the world's leading sportswear brands, in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler. Puma quickly gained recognition for its innovative and high-quality footwear, catering to athletes and sports enthusiasts alike. Over the years, Puma expanded its product range to include a variety of athletic shoes designed for different sports and activities.
Taking its name from the colourful hummingbird, the Puma Colibri Trainer was officially launched in 1979, featuring a low-profile silhouette and a mesh upper for breathability. The shoe's lightweight construction made it suitable for various activities, including running, gym workouts, and everyday wear. The Colibri Trainer also incorporated Puma's signature cushioning technology, providing excellent shock absorption and energy return.
The shoe's design was characterized by clean lines, minimal branding, and a range of vibrant colour options, appealing to a wide range of consumers. The Colibri Trainer became an instant hit, capturing the attention of athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and fashion-conscious individuals alike.
After being locked away for over 40 years, The Colibri Trainer returns showcasing it's legacy - a testament to Puma's ability to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the industry and its dedication to pushing the boundaries of athletic footwear, whilst still nodding to their heritage with details such as the gum sole.
