I am definitely going to be a regular here.” KL Rahul added, “People know my love for all things street. I will be constantly collaborating with PUMA’s team to drop new styles of 1DER throughout the year for our athleisure-loving consumers.”

Athiya Shetty added “I enjoy working out and spend most of my day in activewear and athleisure and I absolutely love PUMA. Their designs are so in sync with today’s generation, be it sneakers or apparel. In fact, at times I even wear the comfortable 1DER collection sweatshirts. I am so thrilled to be in Bengaluru and be a part of their store launch. The store has really cool elements and the look and feel is extremely premium.”
