Get ready to give your old workout gear the boot. PUMA and Baby Phat have teamed up to launch a line of clothing and footwear that is the perfect definition of street chic. The popular sportswear company and the iconic streetwear line from Kimora Lee Simmons are taking us back to the early 2000s when bra tops and bucket hats were everything. With pops of pink and just the right amount of gold accents, the PUMA x Baby Phat collection marries comfortable activewear with feminine silhouettes. And the best part is everything retails between $25 – $110.

You can check out PUMA x Baby Phat, launching August 17 on PUMA.com, Footlocker.com, Champssports.com and at select Foot Locker and Champs Sports stores. To get you excited, we’re sharing some of our favorite pieces from the collection.

Bike Tight

Available in pink and white, the Puma x Baby Phat bike tight is errything. With gold logo and accent around the waistband, you’ll definitely want to get a front row seat in your spin class when you’re wearing these!

Bralette

Of course you can’t rock the bike tights without a matching bralette. This beauty comes in pink and white with the same gorgeous gold accents as the bike short. And if you really want to take it back to the early 2000s, this top is cute enough to rock with a pair of baggy jeans.

Fierce Fitted Tee

Ditch your bulky ill-fitting tees for this fitted option that hugs in all of the right places. The Fierce Fitted Tee is available in both pink and white. And the gold PUMA x Baby Phat logo in the center makes it easy to dress up or down.

PUMA Mayze

If you need to give your heels a break, the PUMA Mayze leather sneaker is a perfect compromise. I love that the platform gives you a little height without sacrificing comfort. And who can resist those pink laces?

T7 Crop

Hands down, this is one my favorite pieces from the PUMA x Baby Phat collection. This cropped track jacket is an effortless way to pull any look together. Whether you rock it with jeans, sweats, or a pair of camo cargo pants, it’s a great updated take on the 2000s.
