The PUMA Blue Star is almost identical to the PUMA Red Star except that it’s – of course – blue. This vintage pair of running shoes feature a suede upper with contrasting white side stripes, laces, tongue, and heel spot, and they’re completed with a rubber gum outsole. Gold lettering is printed into the outer side wall, proudly displaying the name and model.
A dead giveaway for the production location – West Germany – is the square shaped PUMA logo printed on the dark blue tongue in white, green, and black. Many of the PUMA shoes from the 1970′s and 80′s bare this style of tongue logo, under which is clearly written “Made in West Germany”. Other versions of the Blue Star have been seen to feature a foam-based white tongue with the PUMA logo type embossed into it. Pairs featuring this alternate style are typically found to be made in Italy.

Contribute hype to eatmoreshoes
Here at eatmoreshoes we love our kicks, but we also open our minds to the greater cultural world that surrounds and engulfs the sneaker scenes around the world. Music, arts, events, films, performance, fashion, food, and people are at the heart of what is so good about lush leather and sweet suede strapped to your ankles with soft vintage laces, fats or thins, colored or bleached. We truly believe it’s the diversity of the scenes that make things stay exciting and keep up momentum year after year.
For this reason we see ‘hype’ as something that should cover more than just the most recent shoe releases or the most awaited collaborations between boutiques and brands. We think an album debut party or an avantgarde street performance could be ‘hype’. We think independent zine issues and self-built, DIY, underground gallery spaces are worthy of the title ‘hype’.
How to contribute
Currently eatmoreshoes is open to covering and promoting any creative individuals who love sneakers and find themselves (and their work) somehow relative to the various shoe scenes around the globe. If this is you – a creative person who loves their kicks and needs to get the word out about their personal and/or professional work – then please shoot us an email at info@eatmoreshoes.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
Welcome to eatmoreshoes, an online magazine specifically geared towards the adidas and PUMA brands.
The idea behind our magazine is relatively simple: we’re creating a site that showcases both the ‘history’ and the ‘hype’ of the worldwide sneaker culture without being elitist or trying to dictate to our readers. We cover various aspects of this culture by providing archives of adidas and PUMA shoes and clothing, hunting down and interviewing collectors, searching out the best stores we can find, and reporting on the hype.
As a reader you’re already part of the magazine and we’re here to showcase you and whatever you do, whether that be collecting, selling, or otherwise revolving around shoes.
