Cool Hunting
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. It was such a hit when it first released back in April that they are about to release this new black dominated colorway at Hanon in the coming weeks.
Aesthetically, it looks half skate, half basketball and features the wide heel stance stability and hexagonal Trinomic cell unit to stand up to each sport, if needed. I love the strategically spaced lace loops and mix of textures including mesh, nubuck and touches of satin that complement the colorway well. It even comes with three different lace sets, a shark tooth pendant and some custom insoles. We know it took countless rounds of drafting and design but it was well worth it—another job well done by Sneaker Freaker.
These will go quick, so check back with Hanon often over the coming weeks or call them at +44 1224 213 452 for more info.

Inspired by the classic comic, Puma and Boston-based boutique Bodega got together to create a special shoe based on Puma's classic Sky II Hi silhouette, aptly named the Spy II Hi. Made of premium leather, I especially like the translucent...
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. Laser-burnt with T-Book's clever, M.C. Escher-esque "Don't Kiss Goodbye" (pictured left, click either image for detail) or with their "I Love You" repeating script pattern (pictured right), the process takes about an hour for each pair....

Each style features one of three classic Cubanbee designs with embroidered...
As the 26th artist to work with Converse's current creative initiative, the 1HUND(RED) Artists' footwear collaboration for PRODUCT (RED), CH favorites Wood Wood designed a stylish monochromatic rendition of the classic Chuck Taylor. A minimalist take on the All Star Hi-Top, the Danish group used a smooth suede upper, laces and sole — all in a matching powdery grayish purple. The perforated upper reveals...
by Kyle Small Next Monday, 28 July 2008, Puma's second series in collaboration with NYC store Atmos and National Geographic photographer Mitsuaki Iwago drops, doubling the small collection from three to six. In addition to the noble purpose of building awareness surrounding endangered animals throughout the world and bringing to light the significance of their possible extinction, we think they make pretty good-looking pairs of...
A collaboration between illustrator Parra Rockwell, Amsterdam's Patta and seasoned veterans Alife, the Everybody Mid Rap has some texture and color details that made me take notice. A mix of materials, including Nubuck suede, nylon and leather, compartmentalizes the vibrant, otherwise monochrome blue, making for an appealing contrast in textures. The clear sole, red trim and alternating lace holes are also an attractive touch....
