A huge weekend for fans of Puma this week, as they drop a triple pack of treats for all tastes. From Rihanna's luxury slides all the way to two Japanese-flavoured drops that cover the past and present, Puma have got this weekend covered. Nike went all-out last week with their sky-high KD8, and play it safe this time around, giving the LeBron XIII a fresh new palette.

Puma x GraphersRock - Disc Blaze/R698
The Formstripe have a history of collaborating with creatives from around the world, with names such as Hussein Chalayan and Sophia Chang producing some stellar models in recent history. This time, Puma have travelled to Japan to link up with underground graphic artist, GraphersRock, to put a wild spin on two of Puma’s most popular silhouettes. All three pairs in the pack are adorned with futuristic stamps and logos all over the shoe, making each pair look like they would be perfectly at home in a cyberpunk anime thriller. GraphersRock branding on the neoprene sockliner and tongue pulls finish off a creative take on the futuristic trainer.

Puma x FENTY Fur Slides (Women’s sizing)
After a long day of work (work, work, work, work, work), what better way to relax than to slip into a pair of fur slides? Rihanna and Puma look to let the ladies (and lads with smaller feet) ball out with the latest drop in the FENTY by Rihanna line. After a going retro with her Creeper and then futuristic with the Trainer, the Fur Slides (which come in tonal black, white and pink) are a perfect fit for those looking to get stylish even when relaxing. While these are marketed towards the ladies, there’s going to be a rush of men out there that have been waiting to break out the pink fur bathrobe and get their Dipset on.
