Sneaker Freaker x Puma: Jirozame
(12 June 2008) - 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...

Puma x BDGA Spy II Hi
(13 February 2008) - Everyone's favorite dueling spy duo, Spy vs. Spy, are making their way from the pages of Mad Magazine onto a new limited edition sneaker. 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...

CH x Puma Eight-Speed Urban Mobility Bike and World Bicycle Relief
(25 January 2008) - When Puma recently sent us one of their Vexed Generation and Biomega-designed eight-speed urban mobility bicycles, we thought we'd do a little something special with it. We tasked in-house creative Seth Brau with customizing the bike and he went at it, covering the bike with shapes and patterns in a scheme of primary colors. The upshot is a little tribal, a little crazy and...

Bicycle Film Festival x Puma: The Re-Bike Project
(26 September 2007) - As the Bicycle Film Festival winds its way from city to city, part of their unique sponsorship with Puma includes the Puma Re-Bike project that helps bike charities in five North American cities. What Puma did was donate $200 to seven magazines challenging each to build a cycle from recycled parts reflecting their periodical's theme. Don't worry, they didn't waste two c-notes on Men's...

An Interview with Mihara Yasuhiro
(09 March 2007) - For the past seven years Japanese designer Mihara Yasuhiro has been collaborating with Puma on a line of wildly inventive sneakers that has become known—with features like patterns, drips, fur, studs, stripes and metallics—for adding a true avant-garde edge to shoes. The current Spring/Summer 2007 collection marks Mihara's fifth collection with Puma that includes limited edition re-issues of the MY-1 Peace, featuring a variation...

T-Book x Peter Schmid Sneakers
(09 November 2006) - 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....

Puma Mongolian Shoe BBQ v2
(03 August 2006) - In March 2005 Puma unveiled their Mongolian Shoe BBQ—an in-store sneaker customization experience where you pick out actual parts and they get shipped off and sewn in to shoes (see our preview here and the shoes I made here). Now Puma is doing it again, this time with the RS-100, their 80s running shoe. And this time, in addition to being a touring, in-store...

The African Game
(12 June 2006) - To celebrate the sport and culture of African football, Puma enlisted writer Knox Robinson and Nigerian filmmaker Andrew Dosunmu to create The African Game, a photo book documenting the players and people behind the world's most beloved pastime. We checked in with Knox and he told us about the full brass bands and shamans in the stands, the Africanization of football, and getting to...

Puma v1.06 Grass Camo Boot
(09 June 2006) - Most of this year's Puma sponsored players will be kicking around in these grass camo boots. No, they won't really disappear and provide some kind of stealth advantage, but they will lend a constant reminder of where they really belong. They also happen to be featured alongside Pele in a video short on pumafootball.com that reminds of the spirit of playfulness in the game....

Adidas vs Nike vs Puma
(09 June 2006) - Easily the biggest grudge match in Germany this month will not be between two of the countries competing, but between homegrown Adidas and, of course, American arch-rivals Nike. The business media is already hot on the Stripes versus the Swoosh, with the German brand reportedly splashing out double Nike's estimated £60m World Cup marketing spend. But what about the shirts themselves? Which ones would...

Featuring artwork by tattoo artist Cubanbee, the monochromatic style keeps the contrasting patent leather hit on the heel understated. More detailed shots after the jump. ...

Puma x Vexed, Season Three
(07 November 2005) - The latest item from the ongoing Puma and Vexed Generation collaboration is this urban cycler hoodie. More functional than the Anticon Hoodie, but aesthetically similar, this one has a built in face mask with removable filters. The jacket also features reflective piping and special flaps to keep your backside dry while riding in the rain. Related Posts: Puma + Vexed: Urban Mobility, First Glimpse:...

Puma Clyde
(19 July 2005) - Puma is reminding us of their roots by digging in to the archives, pulling the icons and recreating them in the same colors and materials as they were originally available. The first in the Archive Series: The Clyde made famous in the 70s by the endorsement of New York Knicks' Walt Frazier. A preliminary release of The Clyde will hit select retailers this Saturday,...

Puma Summer 2005
(24 May 2005) - I'm a big fan of Puma's summer line--the designs are totally progressive, and they're trying new stuff--which is admirable. All shoes and clothing aside, their Summer 2005 eCatalog is just brilliant. It's easy to use and works from the point of view as if you were reading the catalog and turning the pages with your own hands- a very nice marketing touch, and fun....

Puma Mongolian BBQ Has Arrived
(05 May 2005) - 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...

Puma Mongolian Shoe BBQ
(31 March 2005) - Making custom sneakers is quite easy these days-- most of the major brands have the function available on their web sites. It's fun and easy and provides the instant gratification of seeing exactly what it will look like before you buy. Puma's latest project, the Mongolian Shoe BBQ, is a natural evolution of the customization trend. It works rather simply, you walk in to...

Puma Beisser
(04 March 2005) - Footwear with fangs-- it was bound to happen. The Beisser, which translates to 'Bites,' is the latest little experiment from Puma. The upper is pretty clean, simple and snug. It's mostly mesh and has a bit of a climbing shoe feel. Those molded rubber soles, however, are for only the fiercest of fashionista. 500 pairs will be made and distributed to select retailers. ...

First Glimpse: The Puma Bike
(02 March 2005) - Puma, Vexed and Biomega teamed up to create this highly functional, yet totally minimal bike. I had the chance to try it out last week and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting the looks would exceed the comfort and function. As it turns out, they're evenly matched. This team has managed to create an urban apartment friendly, folding bike that rides like it has...

Puma + Vexed = Urban Mobility
(09 February 2005) - Puma and Vexed Generation will be releasing the second season of their collaboration, Urban Mobility. The line is designed to target the needs of the urban rider by delivering adaptable performance-wear that fuses cutting edge styling with highly technical designs. Yeah, it does that very well-- having the opportunity to sport a couple samples around town, I have to say the pieces move great...

The Art of Puma
(09 December 2004) - The Art of Puma is a basic white high top with 80s style illustrations that will be released exclusively in Japan, UK , Germany and France. Neither subtle nor sexy, they do embrace a certain creative chaos circa 1988. They also further today's notion that white high tops are canvases. Definitely collector's items-- grab a pair if you can find them. ...

Puma Satori Lux
(07 December 2004) - Puma has been quite the innovator lately. October's release of the motion inspired black or white leather, but this 500 piece edition is covered in a luxurious pony skin (no, it's not really pony; they just call it that). Sublime to look at, they're available in all black or chocolate and pink. They're expected to drop this month in 18 locations worldwide. The only...

Woody Puma Roma
(13 July 2004) - The classic 60's Puma Roma is back (actually, it never went anywhere), and this time it's woody. Reminiscent of the station wagon classic, these limited edition kicks feature a faux wood form stripe that's sure to inspire comment. $70 at karmaloop...
