Duvin Design, PUMA Golf and PGA Pro Rickie Fowler Unveil Second Limited-Edition Capsule

Duvin Design Co., the internet’s go-to beach brand, and PUMA Golf, a leader in golf innovation, design and style, are pleased to unveil their second collaboration with PGA Tour Pro Rickie Fowler on a unique capsule collection titled “Purveyors of Leisure”, available now exclusively on PUMAGolf.com and DuvinDesign.com.

Following the success of the trio’s first collaboration last year, Duvin, PUMA Golf and Fowler have teamed up once again on a vibrant summer capsule, this time with the introduction of a signature shoe. Designed to perform on and off the course, the five-piece collection offers golfers and beach enthusiasts alike a unique blend of style and performance.

Drawing inspiration from vibrant 1980’s photos of Hobie Cat sailboats, the collection includes the first ever sneaker co-designed by Duvin, as well as a performance quarter-zip, shorts, a golf polo, and a reversible bucket hat, offering a complete head-to-toe ensemble for making a statement on and off the green. A pastel-infused nautical color palette takes center stage throughout, while a standout print featured on the polo and bucket hat of sails and palm trees, sets the tone for this season’s capsule.

Fowler, one of PUMA’s most celebrated athletes, grew up playing golf with Duvin’s co-founder, Shaun O’Meara, who is no stranger to competing against PGA professionals. His father, Mark O’Meara, is a two-time Major winner and member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. Through a personal relationship developed on and off the course, Fowler and the Duvin crew have developed a friendship, which has led to the organic ideation of the two latest unique collaborations. Working with PUMA for over a decade, it was only natural for Fowler to merge these worlds to create something unique in the golf apparel space - a capsule featuring Duvin’s bold, retro-inspired prints atop garments made using PUMA’s highest performing materials and craftsmanship.

“Getting to work with Rickie and the PUMA team is always super exciting for us,” says Austin Duvall, Creative Director of Duvin. “It’s incredibly rewarding to get the opportunity to take our inspiration from leisure apparel and apply to it PUMA’s world-class manufacturing and expertise in crafting the ultimate performance products for golf.”

Noteworthy additions to the collaborative collection this year include a spikeless golf shoe as well as a performance quarter-zip. The spikeless golf shoe draws inspiration from PUMA's popular RS Fast running shoe, featuring a multi-color "GOLF" sole that reveals itself as you finish your shot. The quarter-zip is made up of color-blocked panels, incorporating the full color palette throughout the garment. It offers full stretch and quick-dry capabilities, ensuring maximum comfort and performance.

The influence of golf in resortwear continues to rise as coastal resorts present the opportunity to fuse one’s love of surf, golf and leisure in one stay. Whether visiting for the day or escaping for a week, the Duvin x PUMA Golf capsule provides the perfect uniform for those looking to indulge in a day spent soaking in the sun and a slower pace of life.
