In January 2021, PUMA unveiled the FUSE, a cross-training shoe designed to handle a variety of exercises, from squats and deadlifts to rope climbs and box jumps. On the eve of the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games, taking place in Madison, WI, from Aug. 3-7, 2022, the athletic apparel company announced its latest offering: the FUSE 2.0, which will hit shelves in the fall of 2022 for $90 USD.

According to PUMA, this latest iteration of their FUSE cross-trainers offers more stability and better traction than its predecessor, which the company says also enhances the shoe’s overall durability.
Here are some key features noted in the FUSE 2.0 cross-trainers press release:
Multi-surface traction through the brand’s rubber grip technology, known as PUMAGRIP.
A lightweight thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) heel clip for handstand push-ups.
An internal midsole designed to offer “a stable stance during training workouts.”
Higher sidewall coverage than the FUSE.
PUMA FUSE 2.0 at the 2022 CrossFit Games
To put the FUSE 2.0 through its paces, Sam Kwant and Emma McQuaid, two TRAIN PUMA athletes, will wear the sneakers to compete in the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games.
When Kwant was announced as a PUMA brand ambassador in 2021, the company said it would donate $10,000 to a charitable organization of Kwant’s choosing whenever he finishes on the podium of a CrossFit-sanctioned competition. Though Kwant did not compete in the 2021 CrossFit Games, he finished second overall in 2020 to five-time Fittest Man on Earth® Mat Fraser.
McQuaid, for her part, already started the 2022 CrossFit season off strong, with a first-place finish at the 2022 Wodapalooza.

Fans attending the Games in Madison will get the opportunity to visit the WIT booth inside the vendor pavilion to buy the FUSE 2.0 cross trainers months before their official release. Per PUMA, those unable to spectate the 2022 Games in-person will be able to find the FUSE 2.0 on PUMA.com, at the PUMA NYC Flagship store, and select retailers in the fall of 2022.
PUMA’s Workouts for Charity
PUMA also announced it is teaming with WIT Fitness, athletes, and charitable organizations, including?? CrossFitter Chandler Smith, Barbells for Boobs, and The Out Foundation, to hold daily workouts at the Brittingham Boathouse during the 2022 CrossFit Games. Each workout will focus on a different charity, and PUMA will donate $100 (up to $5,000) for every person who attends.
