Anta Sports Reportedly Exploring Bid for Puma Chinese sportswear maker ANTA Sports Products Limited (SEHK:2020) is among firms exploring a potential takeover of German sportswear brand PUMA SE (XTRA:PUM), Bloomberg News reported on November 27, 2025. Hong Kong-listed Anta has been working with an adviser to evaluate a bid for Puma, and the company may team up with a private equity firm if it decides to move forward with an offer, the Bloomberg report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Other potential bidders could include Chinese sportswear group Li Ning Company Limited (SEHK:2331), which has been discussing financing options with banks as it takes an early look at Puma, according to the report. Puma may also attract interest from Japanese sportswear company ASICS Corporation (TSE:7936), the report said. Anta Sports, Puma, and Asics did not immediately respond to Reuters‘ requests for comment. Li-Ning said in an emailed statement to Reuters that the company “has not engaged in any substantive negotiations or evaluations regarding the transaction mentioned in the news”, adding that the company continues to focus on the growth and development of its brand. Puma’s biggest shareholder Artemis, the privately-owned holding company that controls Gucci owner Kering, has said it is considering all options for its 29% stake, though a source close to the firm told Reuters in September it would not sell at the market value then. Puma’s market valuation is currently at EUR 2,520 million ($2,920 million), according to LSEG data. The Pinault family, which controls Artemis, acquired its Puma stake in 2018 from Kering when the luxury group transformed into a pure luxury player focused on brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent.

The new NIMBUS MIRAI™ is one of the most advanced shoes ASICS has ever made. Designed with uniform polyester material, the entire upper has no overlays, meaning the shoe can be easily sorted to be placed under recycling process when the time comes. A special type of original ASICS-created glue also promotes easier recycling process, providing a durable bond that can be put through its paces but easily pulled apart for its next lifecycle. In fact, the whole shoe has been designed for the upper to be easily detachable from the sole when the time comes, so it can be remade to run again. At this point, the entirety of the upper will go through recycling process. At this point, the entirety of the upper will go through the recycling process.

ASICS' approach to shoe design ties in with its philosophy of helping everyone achieve a Sound Mind in a Sound Body – factors that are only possible if have a Sound Earth to move on, for this generation and the next. NIMBUS MIRAI™ is a celebration of ASICS' unique design philosophy – based on a dedication to creating superior products and technologies validated by the ASICS Institute of Sport Science.

ASICS Launches the New GEL-KAYANO 30 Running Footwear ASICS is launching the new GEL-KAYANO™ 30 running shoe, featuring brand new adaptive technology to provide runners with exceptional stability and unprecedented comfort for the full duration of a run - from first stride, until last. The landmark 30th iteration of the iconic GEL-KayANO™ series is the result of the ASICS Design philosophy. This unique approach embodies ASICS' long-standing commitment to rigorous user testing, biomechanical science, sustainability and decades of continuous innovation to create products that feel best for both body and mind. It is this approach that has enabled the creation of the GEL-KAYAN O™? 30. The shoe reimagines the level of comfort that can be achieved in a stability shoe through the inclusion of new 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™? technology that supports runners by adapting to pronation changes over the course of a run caused by fatigue. Instead of bracing the feet to restrict movement, the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM®? features an integrated design that works with movement of the body to continue providing optimum stability and enhanced comfort when a runner needs it most. GEL-KAYanO™? 30 has also been specially developed to deliver softer landings due to its new PureGEL™? technology, providing increased shock absorption and smoother transitions for the runner. In addition, the shoe features improved comfort and speed through a combination of lightweight FF BLAST™? PLUS ECO cushioning, and an increased 4mm in stack height. The result of all these advancements is a shoe so comfortable it barely feels like a stability shoe at all. In test conducted by ASICS Institute of Sport Science in Kobe the GEL-KAYano™? 30 delivers significant improvements in comfort to its predecessor. Testers also experienced that the shoe was even more comfortable after long runs than when they first put them on. The new GEL-KAYan O™? 30 will be widely available in many markets to buy instore and online at asics.com starting in July 2023 with an RRP of USD 160. Runners when considering the product will benefit for the first time from ASICS labelling the shoe with its total amount of CO2e emissions emitted across its lifecycle, enabling consumers to make an informed purchase decision when it comes to the shoe's environmental impact.

ASICS Announces the Latest Updates to its Record Breaking METASPEED™ Series ASICS announced the latest updates to its record breaking METASPEED™ series as they take the performance of their product personalization to the next level. Building on the breakthrough success of the first METASPEED™ shoes introduced in 2021, ASICS has utilized data accumulated through its elite athletes in competition to refine the product design to cater for the two major running styles allowing every runner to perform at their personal best and record their fastest times yet. Introducing the METASPEED™ EDGE+ and the METASPEED™ SKY+ shoes. METASPEED™ + SERIES – ATHLETE INSIGHT TAKES PERSONALIZATION TO THE NEXT LEVEL: Since its launch, METASPEED™ shoes have has helped elite runners win medals at international competitions, including gold medals at both men's and women's triathlon at Tokyo2020, and achieved over 200 Personal Bests, and counting. The unique design of the METASPEED™ SKY+ model for stride runners and the METASPEED™ EDGE+ model for those with a cadence style continues to center on a crucial insight by scientists at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science (ISS): Athletes perform better when running in shoes that are optimized for their running style. Therefore, ASICS has again created two models so everyone will have the opportunity to run faster. Both models now feature increased volumes of the FF BLAST™ TURBO foam and more targeted placement of the product's carbon plates to ensure that runners can increase their stride length and build increased speed in a way that is natural to their running style. The sports scientists at the ISS were able to measure that these product advancements provided elite athletes with shoes more suited to the two major running styles and as a result this improved performance. Initial tests already showed that the METASPEED™ SKY+ and EDGE+ increased the running economy by more than 2% compared to ASICS' traditional racing models1, giving all runners the opportunity to run their fastest times yet. METASPEED™ SKY+: The METASPEED™ SKY+ racing shoe is designed to help runners go faster by extending their stride length considerably. Due to an energetic FF BLAST TURBO foam and a propulsive carbon plate precisely placed to gain more bounce-back, runners wearing these shoes can conserve more energy while maintaining their pace at the later stages of the race. METASPEED™ SKY+ shoe is available from 14 June 2022. METASPEED™ EDGE+: The METASPEED™ EDGE+ racing shoe is designed to help cadence-type runners go faster by extending their stride length while allowing them to control cadence more easily. Runners wearing these shoes can experience a fast underfoot feel, thanks to the energetic midsole foam and a propulsive carbon plate appropriately placed for more efficient gait motion enabling them to elongate their stride and conserve energy while controlling their running tempo. METASPEED™ EDGE+ shoe is available from 14 June 2022. The METASPEED™ + series has been developed and tested alongside some of the world's top athletes. Eilish McColgan tested an early prototype at the 2022 Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon and set a personal best and British record of one hour, six minutes and 26 seconds, improving the previous record by 21 seconds. Athletes such as Julien Wanders and Mekdes Woldu, have also achieved PBs wearing the prototypes and will be looking for further success at the META: Time: Trials. META: Time: Trials - New Times Await: The METASPEED™ + models were unveiled at ASICS' META: Time: Trials – a milestone event in the history of ASICS in Málaga, Spain. Inspired by the Tour de France time trials, the World Athletics certified META: Time: Trials challenged ASICS' elite athletes to push each other to run their fastest ever times across a series of race distances. The event offered an optimal product proofing opportunity for the new models. Tillkännagivande • Apr 08
