Puma Mongolian BBQ Has Arrived by Josh Rubin
Remember Puma's Mongolian Shoe BBQ? Well, the pair that I designed arrived. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about them. I love the concept of hand selecting colors and materials, and it was lots of fun making the shoe, but the finished product is not as great looking as I had imagined. I am proud to have my own one-of-a-kind pair, but I think I'll stick to designing software.

Sneaker Freaker x Puma: Jirozame
Our friends at Sneaker Freaker teamed up with Puma a few months back to bring back the long lost Puma Blaze of Glory sneaker but with a Freaker twist, named the Jirozame.

T-Book x Peter Schmid Sneakers
With British t-shirt company T-Book's tessellating expressions of love and the German Puma designer Peter Schmid's high and low-tops, these may be the most romantic kicks out there.
