Summary

PUMA has partnered with No/Faith Studios to revive the Beisser, a rare 2005 low-profile runner designed by Peter Schmidt that has previously existed only as a collector’s grail

-
This second collaboration between the two brands offers a rare retail release of the formerly limited model, highlighting premium materials and Schmidt’s experimental legacy in footwear design
PUMA is once again reaching deep into its legendary vault, enlisting the avant-garde vision of No/Faith Studios to revive a long-lost icon. The duo has set their sights on the Beisser, a razor-sharp, low-profile runner that first slashed through the footwear landscape in 2005. Originally conceived by Peter Schmidt—the mastermind behind the cult-classic Mostro—the Beisser has spent the last two decades existing primarily as a “grail” in niche archive circles and collector lookbooks.
Appropriately nicknamed the “Biter,” the silhouette is defined by its aggressive, tooth-like lugged sole and a streamlined, motorsport-inspired stance that feels remarkably relevant in today’s tech-runner climate. This second chapter of the partnership follows the massive success of last year’s Talon collaboration, signaling a shared commitment to unearthing PUMA’s most experimental and polarizing designs. By blending the Y2K-era performance DNA with No Faith Studios’ subversive, industrial aesthetic, the new Beisser bridges the gap between early-aughts track culture and modern high-fashion streetstyle.
The revival maintains the original’s sleek, aerodynamic upper while introducing premium materials and refined colorways that highlight the serrated outsole. For a silhouette that was originally produced in vanishingly small quantities, this release offers a rare second chance for enthusiasts to own a piece of Schmidt’s design legacy. It is a bold reminder that PUMA’s archive isn’t just a history book—it’s a blueprint for the future of aggressive footwear.
