When the movie adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical Wicked came out in 2024, we couldn’t escape its marketing juggernaut. Talk show guesting, viral video interviews, and especially product tie-ups were all around us and whether or not you liked the movie, you were completely aware that it was here to stay. The sequel, Wicked: For Good is coming out in a little less than a month so you can expect even more Wicked-themed items in the next few weeks.
If you’re excited about seeing Glinda and Elphaba on the big screen again, you’ll probably be paying close attention to all the tie-ups that will come out. Puma is right out of the gate as they announced their upcoming capsule collection featuring all sorts of Wicked-themed sneakers and hoodies. So whether you’re Team Pink or Team Green or both, you’ll be able to enliven your footwear and clothing collection by the first week of November.
Designer Name: Puma
If you’re Team Green, Speedcat Elphie will draw you in with its black suede base sneakers that have deep forest and dark myrtle tones detailed with foil-based accents with PUMA Cat embroidery. You also get rubber heel tooling so you have a good grip and not fly off with a broom. If you’re Team Pink, then this Galinda, err, Glinda-inspired Speedcat Goodness is the right pair for you. It comes with lilac crush, silver mist, and intense lavender colors and accents. It may look delicate but it’s built for urban use with its suede Formstrip and rubber tooling at the heel.
With part two of Wicked, we will also get introduced to Dorothy, the protagonist of The Wizard of Oz since after all, Wicked is a prequel of that beloved property. If you relate more to her, the Speedcat Ballet Silver Slippers is for you. It is of course inspired by Dorothy’s footwear (not the ruby red slippers) with its metallic silver accents in the upper, gray overlays, and embroidered details. There are elastic bands across the instep and also rubber tooling to provide support.
The capsule collection also includes hoodies and shirts inspired by the three characters. You have the Goodness Hoodie that has a lilac crush fleece, ribbed cuffs and ribbed waistband and pairs well with the Goodness sneaker. The Elphie Hoodie is in black fleece and its dark tones with the green leaf crown matches the sneakers as well. The Oz Fleece Hoodie comes in dark myrtle fleece but with a roomier fit plus a hood for extra coverage. Well, that’s if you don’t mind wearing something that says “The Wizard Sees Everything”.
The tees follow a similar pattern. The Goodness Tee for Team Glinda comes with the “good” girl’s aesthetics, the Elphie Tee has a darker, deep forest colorway to represent Elphaba while the Oz Tee has the broader Oz theme in its black color and neutral tones. All of the shirts use jersey fabric and DRYCELL technology for added function.
If you’re a big fan of the book, the musical, or the movies themselves, you’ll gladly wear any of these to trumpet your geeky love for the Wicked universe. Well, if you’re just a casual fan but you love the colorways, the designs, or the themes, then you might also try adding these to your wardrobe. The collection will be released on November 5 with just enough time for fans to get theirs and wear them to the cinema when Wicked: For Good opens in theaters on November 21.
