PUMA Raider Hi PUMA Raider Hi Produced just before the black on white PUMA Raider, this brightly colored neon green and pink release also dropped in ’91 to basketball trainer wearers around the world. When compared to its black and white brother, this pair certainly screams for attention – which can be good or bad depending on the type of style... PUMA Oslo PUMA Oslo While it may be the Year of the Snake for China, it’s seemed more like the Year of the Classics for PUMA, who are busy pushing out various retros and re-releases including these new Oslos. Calling them ‘new’ is actually incorrect, as the PUMA pride shows through grandly in their efforts to really retain that... Consortium SS13 adidas Originals x UNDFTD x BAPE Consortium SS13 adidas Originals x UNDFTD x BAPE If A Bathing Ape and Undefeated helped make 2013 an exciting year for adidas Originals fans with the release of these three sweet Consortium drops then our three-way interview with the involved designers should be icing on the cake. Sitting down with James Bond from UNDFTD, Dan Doyle from BAPE, and Daniel Bauer (Category Manager... PUMA Avenue Hi PUMA Avenue Hi The PUMA Avenue is actually a bit like the Pressing silhouette, in that it’s a lightweight, thinly-built, vintage basketball high-top model from the ’80s or ’90s. The soles are solid with a great, semi-futuristic design reminiscent of what a 20th century designer might’ve imagined for the 21st century industrialization (think child-friendly H.R. Giger pattern structures),...

Hey Yoshifumi, thanks for taking the time. Can you start by telling us your background and artist story? My names is Yoshifumi Nomura, or better known as Yoshi47. I... Jun Inoue x PUMA Project LoveJoy Jun Inoue x PUMA Project LoveJoy In 2012 PUMA went forward with a shirt series entitled ‘Project LoveJoy’ in which they incorporated their iconography with the illustrative works from three Far East artists. The first in the series was Jun Inoue, known for his outdoor painting and indoor art shows. Luckily enough we had a chance to chat with Jun (and... mastermind JAPAN x adidas Hardland mastermind JAPAN x adidas Hardland I remember hearing about these before they dropped and hype aside I just loved the simple black and white colorway, outrageously loud iconography, totally bizarre d-ring placements, and of course the introduction of the new model. At the time I thought the Hardland was going to be quite a rare model, but (as it seems... PUMA States x Solebox theLIST PUMA States x Solebox theLIST From mega sneaker store Size?, to the Shadow Society itself, the PUMA States is a silhouette that really gets around. And if you’re after another good collab, then you’d likely land on Solebox next. Who can forget those ‘nightshade’, ‘prism’ violet, and ‘whisper’ kicks in all their purple lusciousness back in 2006. And we certainly... adidas Ralf adidas Ralf For many of the sneaker connoisseurs out their, these vintage, Yugoslavian-made adidas Ralf’s will likely be a vicious no-go, not even fitting into their definition of a ‘trainer’. Man, do I ever look funny with this pair upon my feet. As a sneakerhead, street dancer, and generally urban person I can’t explain what it is...
