PUMA Transforms The Blaze Of Glory Into A Sock-Like Sneaker

PUMA gives the Blaze of Glory some tweaks for an updated, stylish new look dubbed the Blaze of Glory Sock Core. Giving the classic model an on-trend redesign, the Blaze of Glory Sock Core seems to take some inspiration from models like the Nike Sock Dart, adidas NMD, and maybe even the Y-3 line for its sleeker, sock-like upper constructed in suede and neoprene with leather detailing. The trendy silhouette also receives the trendiest color treatment: tonal versions in red, white, and black. Find the Blaze of Glory Sock Core arriving at finer PUMA stockists now.

The Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core Will Drop In Three Tonal Colorways

Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core 6 Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core 5 Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core 2 Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core 1 Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core 4 Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core 3

The Puma Blaze Of Glory Sock Core is one of the newest renditions stemming from the Blaze of Glory. Right off the bat you can tell that this version is much more “chunkier” than the original version. If you like that kind of look, you’re probably going to like this particular model.

Coming in three tonal colorways, the shoe’s upper will don a tonal cream, black or red motif. The shoe will be constructed out of a textile and leather combination complimented by the suede placed on the toebox. Adding chunkiness to the shoe is the enlarged sole unit placed below. Another feature on the shoe is the neoprene sock liner that gives you some added comfort and support. Available now internationally, it’s only a matter of time before we see these stateside.

Author’s Take

I actually prefer the BOG over this chunkier version. It’s cool, but the original pair looks better in my eyes.

An On-Feet Look At Kylie Jenners Puma Fierce Core

PUMA Fierce Core 1 PUMA Fierce Core 2 PUMA Fierce Core 3 PUMA Fierce Core 4 PUMA Fierce Core 5 PUMA Fierce Core 6 PUMA Fierce Core 7 PUMA Fierce Core 8

The Puma Fierce Core is considered Kylie Jenner’s first release with Puma. We got our first look of the shoe a couple of days ago and now w have images that show what the shoe will look like once you lace them up.

For those of you who don’t know, the Fierce Core is a women’s exclusive. It also happens to be very similar to the shoe Rihanna recently dropped with Puma, the Rihanna x Puma Fenty Trainer. The shoe comes with a neoprene slip-on construction. It also comes with a laceless design while the mesh overlays provide the shoe some added breathability. As of right now only tonal offerings appear on the shoe, in which all come paired up with an all-white midsole. Thoughts on the shoe once you lace them up? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

No doubt in my mind the Rihanna pair looks better. This looks like a knock-off version of the Fenty Trainer. They should have taken more time on designing her first shoe.

Here Is Kylie Jenners First Sneaker With PUMA, The PUMA Fierce Core

PUMA Fierce Core 4 PUMA Fierce Core 3 PUMA Fierce Core 2 PUMA Fierce Core 1

Even though her brother in law Kanye West is all about adidas these days, Kylie Jenner decided to carve her own path in the sneaker industry by joining PUMA.

After confirming their deal with Kylie last month, today we get a first look at the first shoe that PUMA will be releasing with Kylie. Known as the PUMA Fierce Core, the silhouette actually has a large resemblance to the PUMA Fenty Trainer that was designed by Rihanna. The Fierce Core features no laces and goes for the slip-on look. Neoprene and mesh make up this shoe which can almost guarantee you that it will be pretty comfortable.

Ladies we wanna hear from you on this one, what are your your thoughts on Kylie Jenner’s PUMA Fierce Core? Are you happy that it looks similar to Rihanna’s design? Look for the PUMA Fierce Core at select retailers beginning on April 1st.

Author’s Take

Might as well call these the PUMA Fenty Trainer 2.0. I know that the shoe will probably sell out pretty quick since Kylie Jenner is attached to it, but you couldn’t have changed up the look a little more?

Team Cozy is made up of a vast community of creatives and visual artists all working together to create movements that impact their extensive network.

I’m a fan of the PUMA Blaze of Glory so I’m definitely not against recreating a classic to give it a modern look. I look forward to seeing this shoe in person and trying it on.

So Is Kylie Jenners Puma Shoe Just A Shorter Version Of Rihannas Fenty Trainer


Kanye wasn’t too happy with Puma trying to “divide the family” when they offered an endorsement deal to Kylie Jenner. Nonetheless, the reality television star turned model is popping up in advertisements wearing the freshly minted Puma Fierce Core, a shoe that quite frankly just looks like a shorter version of Rihanna’s Fenty Trainer. The women’s exclusive silhouette sports a neoprene slip-on construction, laceless design, and mesh overlays for a breathable ride for the athletically minded lifestyle model. While Kylie’s still getting those Yeezy exclusives before anyone else, she’s also cosigning Puma for that sweet endorsement cash. That’s a win-win for her. What do you think of these Kylie Jenner Puma shoes? Check out more photos below and look out for a release in the U.S. soon.

Author’s Take

I’ve been a fan of the LA-based fashion imprint and this execution on the silhouette is just timeless. I like simple, clean things and this is a perfect example. I wouldn’t mind a non-collaborative pair, but fans of the labels shouldn’t be disappointed.

Puma Brings Some Needed Colors With The Old Vs. New Pack


The Puma R698 is one of the more recognizable running retros in the German brand’s arsenal these days, and part of that has to do with the availability of the silhouette and its favored status for limited edition collaborations. But what happens when the brand revamps the 90s offering for a sleeker, more modern design? Today we find out as Puma has ‘reissued’ the R698 featuring a bolstered mesh, reflective underlay, and Ignite foam outsole. That doesn’t mean they’re ditching the 90s motif though, as a combination of vibrant accents ranging from a Volt-like green, turquoise, and royal hit both white and black-based colorways. This Puma lifestyle duo will release online at shops like Foot Patrol this Friday, March 25th, so check out some detailed shots below.
