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....

Nike iD Blogger Contest
(20 May 2005) - It's hard not to see an advert for Nike's relaunched iD customization service.

Then, of course, is the fact that you can customize your shoes to fit your specific taste. Among the more intriguing promotions they're running are the...

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...

Tretorn Nylite
(16 March 2005) - The Tretorn Gullwing Nylite first hailed from Sweden in 1964. It was THE tennis shoe to wear in the 70s and lost ground in the 80s with the rise of you-know-who.
