PUMA First Round “Chinese New Year” PUMA First Round “Chinese New Year” Released in two colorways, PUMA’s Chinese New Year edition of their classic First Round silhouette was both daring and predictable, resulting in a pair that provides ample controversy for the consumer. When I first laid eyes on the Chinese New Year release I was in downtown San Francisco chasing Chris Law’s much more mainstream Snoop... adidas Pro Model Vin adidas Pro Model Vin The Pro Model is such a classic, having paved the way for its little sibling silhouette, the Superstar, and these 2006 Pro Mod Vin’s show a nice treatment on our old friend. Rare as they are, I actually have a pair laying around that never get worn because they’re just too tight. That’s the hard... PUMA Oslo-City PUMA Oslo-City Reaching back through PUMA’s past once again, we retrieve a model that we’ve actually shared before, but this time in a slightly modified format. Another definite part of the PUMA City Series, what set these shoes apart from many others is the textured, two-color, PUMA Contact-branded midsole. Further funky writing appears on the outsole, such... adidas AO Hook Shot II adidas AO Hook Shot II For a re-release, it seems that the adidas AO Hook Shot II is actually causing quite a stir, and not necessarily in all the right directions.

Quite obviously an indoor trainer, thanks to the clear model name printed on the lateral sides in bright red ink, the PUMA Indoor is otherwise a complete mystery to us. We’ve spent some time digging... PUMA Suede PUMA Suede The Suede silhouette has remained in the throne of PUMA shoes for several decades of sneaker history. What has kept the Suede on top of the empire is nothing more than its ability to satisfy many different groups of people through its simplicity and practicality. It has been worn by everyone from basketball players (as... adidas Pro Conference Hi adidas Pro Conference Hi Once again adidas Originals proves to us that their level of craftsmanship and choice of quality materials prevails… and what’s more it’s on a bring-back b-ball pair! The announcement of these shoes made me so happy, and seeing them in the flesh was a particularly nice treat as well. Strolling over to Solebox in Berlin... adidas Boston Super FTR adidas Boston Super FTR Presented here we’ve a pretty laid back colorway for the Boston Super from what we’ve seen before. Without the typical flash they’re a nice Fall pair, especially considering their late release in 2007. The light “clay” brown patches are a soft suede, constrasting to the rough, hard, black stripes, met in the middle with a...
