Puma Aqua Mostro C

Joe — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:03:46 +0000

Puma’s getting heavy on the sailing tip, and we’re not just talking about having yachts on the reg. The brand recently sponsored a sailboat in the Volvo Ocean Race that hit spots around the world like Rio de Janeiro. Which gets us to these Aqua Mostro C’s, a strappy low-top that’s as deck-ready as your Sperry’s. The sneakers have released in white, but this navy blue colorway will hold the water-stains better. Cop ‘em here for $75.

The History Of Gold Sneakers

Joe — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:08:04 +0000

Sneaker nation tends to have a love-hate relationship with gold kicks. Some can't get enough of them, and some wish the flashy trend would fade into obscurity like Jeffrey Atkins. But in a market where the trends are so finicky, kicks in Au colorways always seem to pop up regardless of what’s hot at the moment.

If you think the first time someone cool rocked gold kicks was Jay-Z in the “Umbrella” video, you're dead wrong. Back in 1996, Michael Johnson owned the Olympic games in his gold-dipped track spikes. And in 2009, the style still seems to be going strong'last week Puma released a 24k collabo sneaker with UNDFTD.

We’re not sure how long the gold rush will last for, so take a look back at all the gold sneakers that have caught our eye over the years…

NIKE DUNK HIGH PRO SB “LUCKY”

• Year Of Release: 2004
• The Luckies dropped at the pinnacle of Nike SB-dom, and if you got them, it was probably because you were weed-carrying for your local skate shop owner. It was worth the mental scars of getting made fun of by the real skateboarders, since they're now going for $700 right now.

Puma Blaze Of Glory Mexico

Joe — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:34:24 +0000

After playing the cut for a few years, Puma's comfortable trainer, the Disc Blaze returns with a bang this month. Puma brought back the silhouette, added a lace-unit, and then capped it off with a Mexican motif on the inside. Check for them at select retailers for a buck.

Puma Outfits The Gumball 3000 Rally

Bradley — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 21:37:05 +0000

The Gumball 3000 Rally celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with a route that takes 120 teams of billionaires, car enthusiasts, and celebrity drivers across the west coast of the US and then over to Asia on an 8 day stint. From August 9th-11th, the riders travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles to Las Vegas, with parties in each city at night. From there, the cars will board Antonov cargo planes and fly to Pyongyang, North Korea, where they will kick it with the always stylish Kim Jong Ill for the night (true story!). The trip wraps up after the caravan drives to Bejing for the Olympics on August 16.

To commemorate the event (and to brand the drivers) Puma printed T-shirts that will be worn exclusively by Gumball participants'the aptly-titled “driver” shirt is shown above. Check out more detail shots and the “crew” shirts below.

Puma Pop Art 917 Lo

Joe — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:41:50 +0000

Puma swagger-jacked deceased American Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein's style for a new silhouette they'll introduce called the Pop Art 917 Lo. Lichtenstein was known for his deeply rooted influence in comic book art, and with the Basket 68s that Puma did a while back being a hit, the brand decided to channel Lichtenstein again for this low-profile sneaker. They'll be available at select Puma stores this summer.

Puma First Round Repeat

Joe — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:16:58 +0000

You’re mistaken if you thought the First Round was a one-and-done for Puma. The silo that gained popularity in ‘07 thanks to the ultra-hyped Alife collabo, will drop in solid schemes like these blue suede make-ups. Toned-down and simple, we’re with it.

The nostalgic sports-enthused cats over at No Mas hooked back up with Puma for an L.A version of their Lottery First Rounds.

Deja Vu

treats — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 16:08:23 +0000

Lately, here in NYC it seems like everywhere we turn, another Puma store opens. Damn, and we thought McDonald's omnipresence was bad. But this is a good look for Puma. Their new concept shop in Union Square extends their presence in hipster neighborhoods beyond their locations on Broadway and the Meatpacking District. By the way, the Union Square one is in fact next door to McDonald's. You want fries with them kicks?

UM by Puma is a pretty sick collapsable bike, especially for those that live in a closet-sized apartment.

The World Cup is in full swing and everyone's got something to be happy about, even the losers. Earlier this week, sneakerheads and futbol fanatics piled into NYC's the Reed Space for the release of The African Game from photographer Andrew Dosunmu and Puma. With everyone checking out the book, we focused our attention to the free drinks, and kept our eyes open for some good ol' soccer hooligan rabble-rousing.

At least they live to play another day. Check out tomorrow’s game against Czech Republic.
