Sporting brand PUMA on Wednesday, August 6, paid homage to Jamaica’s Independence celebrations with the announced re-release of its special-edition 2003 H-Street sneakers in the colours of the nation’s flag—black green and gold.

The PUMA H-Street Pack inspired by Jamaica is available starting August 25, 2025, from PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores, and selected PUMA stockists.

Boasting two colourways, one dominantly black and the other mostly gold, the shoes also celebrate the country’s dominance in track and field.

“Black, yellow, and green colourways recall PUMA’s campaign from 2003, which launched PUMA’s partnership with the Jamaican national track and field team. The visuals showcased Jamaican culture, style, and sports heritage, centring around a lineup of H-Street colourways, including a special Jamaican-flag edition that returns for 2025,” a release on the company’s website outlines.

“Celebrating the legendary speed, power, and distinctive style that the island nation is known for, the limited-edition H-Street carries the story of a country that has achieved excellence on the track. Adapted from an archival running spike, the H-Street traces its lineage back to PUMA’s late-’90s Harambee silhouette, an innovative racer built for speed,” the athletics brand further shares.

The H-Street features a breathable mesh upper, nostalgic T-shaped toe box, and track-inspired outsole tread for a lightweight, minimalist yet stylishly distinctive look and feel.

The release will coincide with the weekend of Notting Hill Carnival: London’s iconic celebration of Caribbean culture, and the largest street festival in Europe.

PUMA will mark the event in London, England, with community-focused activations, starting August 22nd. This will be followed by a vibrant presence across the two-day carnival, teaming up with artists, supporting grassroots creatives, and celebrating Caribbean heritage through music.
