The Crossover x Puma Disc Blaze Rose Red is the latest upcoming collaboration between both parties. The Malaysian sneaker and streetwear boutique once again links up with Puma and this time they’re attention is placed on the Disc Blaze.

Crossover does its thing on the model and covers it in all-black. Contrasting the tonal look of the shoe are the bright red hits placed on the heel and sole of the shoe. The upper also comes with a speckled white panel to give the shoe some added dimension. Lastly, the rose graphics on the sole midsole and heel give the shoe its distinguished look. The Crossover x Puma Disc Blaze Rose Red will release on May 14th for $180. Is this a buy or bye?

It’s a clean looking collaboration, and this is coming from someone who pays no mind to the model. I dig it, but what’s up with that price tag?

This Deal x Puma Disc Blaze consists as the latest installment between the Chinese sneaker boutique and German sportswear label.

As its official moniker implies, the sneaker’s aesthetic is essentially a nod to China’s most notable fur animal. Utilizing its distinctive black and white colorway, as well as its furry composition, the elements are prominent across the sneaker’s entirety.

In particular, horse hair is implemented on the toe box and quarter panel, while suede paneling and leather accents are utilized for the signature mid-foot cage and lace system. Furthermore, the insoles incorporate a graphic of a bamboo grove, as it all rests atop a matching black/white rubber sole unit.

Other notable details include subtle co-branding embossed on the leather heel tabs and additional touches of green gracing portions of the midsole unit and more prominently throughout the outsole.

Look for this latest pair at DEAL locations in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xiamen and Guangzhou starting May 6th. Stay tuned in for a stateside release at select Puma retailers.

Fans of the Blaze of Glory, take a look at this clean colorway of the model that dropped not too long ago. Dubbed the Cordovan, the Blaze of Glory comes dressed in a mesh upper done in a Burgundy colorway. The Burgundy is offset by the hits of Black placed on the overlays and the Royal Blue noted on the heel pull tab. Hits of suede and leather are noted on the toe cap to give the shoe a nice premium touch. Puma branding is placed on the tongue area of the bootie construction. An off-white and grey midsole sitting on top of a burgundy outsole complete the look of the shoe. Available now, pick up your very own pair today for $135. Are you a fan of the shoe/color? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

It looks like the Puma x Rihanna relationship is working out quite nicely for both parties. Puma recently reported their first quarter statement and it appears as if sales are up 3.7%, in other words nearly $975 million USD (+7.3% currency adjusted), with the Puma footwear line being their main money maker with a ?strong momentum in women?s business.?

The company?s brand and marketing had this to say:

One highlight for PUMA in the first quarter was the FENTY PUMA by Rihanna fashion show at New York Fashion Week in February. A series of styles for the female consumer have been launched successfully, both in collaboration with Rihanna as well as in our inline collection. Key footwear styles such as Creeper and FENTY Trainer sold out within weeks or days.

Back in 2014, Rihanna became the creative director for Puma. Ever since she took that position she has helped Puma release the Fenty line which has been known to resale for over $1,000. The Puma CEO, Bjorn Gulden stated, ?The women?s business helps on the men?s side too. Rihanna opens the door.?

There is no doubt that Rihanna’s worldwide celebrity status has helped propel Puma with its increase in sales. 2016 is only going to get better for the brand and Puma.

Puma is on the verge of dropping two tonal (and shiny) iterations of their classic Puma Basket silhouette. Dubbed the Puma Basket Metallic Pack, today we get an on-feet look at both offerings.

Designed for the ladies, the Basket comes dressed in a metallic leather finish that comes in either a rose gold or dark indigo blue motif. The branding on the tongue and side panels also come in the same fashion. The rose gold pair comes with contrasting heel branding and soles, while the indigo blue goes the monochromatic route as the corresponding hue is placed from head to toe. Available internationally, it’s only a matter of time before they drop in the states.

It’s cool. Not a huge fan of the model, but I’ve got to admit that the Metallic Gold looks good on the shoe.

Have you all had the chance to scope out the Dee & Ricky x Puma Basket Pack? This latest Puma collab has them link up with creative NYC designers Dee & Ricky. They get their creative juices flowing and give the Puma Basket a new school look.

Constructed out of a velcro upper, the Puma Basket comes in Green and Yellow. Both tonal colorways are offset by the white placed on the sole unit, laces and Puma stripes. What really makes this collaboration a creative one is the addition of letters that you can place anywhere on the velrco covered upper. Are you diggin’ this new look? If so, you can now pick up your very own pair at select retailers for $100.

I’d be too worried about losing a letter every time I wear them. It’s a cool concept, but just not something I’d tend to usually go for.

After giving you a closer look at the Black pair from the GraphersRock x PUMA Disc Blaze collaboration, we now get a closer look at the 2nd pair that completes the collection.

This colorway is essentially the opposite of the black pair as we see the PUMA Disc Blaze covered in a predominantly White upper. Serving as a contrast are bright hits of color that land on the midsole, side panels, heel and inner liner. Additional details include eye-catching printed pictograms and typographies on the side panels and midsole. This Disc Blaze also comes with the traditional Trinomic midsole for that premium comfort.

If you haven’t already, you can still cop a pair now at select PUMA retailers for a retail price of $180.

In comparison to the black pair, this is definitely the one that catches your attention with its South Beach vibes. It’s a little too bright for my liking though.

Pretty cool project from GraphersRock and PUMA. I like this black pair better than its colorful counterpart because it can be worn much easier.

PUMA is ready to join knit sneaker craze with the all-new PUMA Blaze Knit.

With Nike and adidas dominating knit sneakers with their Flyknit and Primeknit technology, respectively, PUMA has now created their own knitted shoe with the PUMA Blaze Knit. This new silhouette resembles the PUMA Blaze of Glory but with a new upper and new lacing system.

Scheduled to arrive in the US in the three different colorways that you see above later this Summer, what are your thoughts on the brand new upcoming PUMA Blaze Knit?

I’m a fan of the Blaze of Glory so the fact that this Blaze Knit looks pretty similar is a good thing. I’m curious to find out how that knit upper feels like.

It’s for sure not a runner. I wouldn’t classify it as your traditional slide. To be honest, I have no idea what is, so bear with me as I try to dissect the Puma x McQ Tech Runner Sandal.

Puma and McQ link up to collaborate on one of their must “unique” looking creations. Said to be a part of their joint 2016 Spring/Summer campaign, the Tech Runner Sandals noted above have the look of the high-top sneaker, but when you take a look at the areas such as the forefoot, toe and ankle, you notice open regions you usually find on a sandal. The actual construction consists of an ankle collar made out of sports mesh material, while the rest of the Runner Sandal appears to be made out of a leather material. Dual branding is noted on the heel and tongue. Coming in Black / Red or White / Blue, the Puma x McQ Tech Runner Sandal is now up for grabs at select retailers for $200. What’s your honest opinion on the Runner Sandal? Let us know in the comments below.

This isn’t the first time that Alexander McQueen and Puma have collaborated on a Puma sneaker. As a matter of fact, this isn’t the first time that they’ve worked on the Disc Blaze. With that being said, let’s take a look at their latest collaboration, the McQ x Puma Disc Blaze Blue.

The fashion friendly model comes dressed in a Bright Blue neoprene base paired up with the Navy leather paneling. Adding some contrast to the shoe is the White leather placed on the midfoot which blends in nicely withe the speckled white midsole. Dual branding is also placed on the midfoot. Lastly, a Gold heel cage gives the model some additional color. Available internationally, we will let you know if/when these arrive stateside.

For the most part, the Disc Blaze is not a model I tend to go for, but this version is something I actually like. The two shades of blue, the gold hits, the speckling, it all seems to work when you put them together.

A few days ago, I went ahead and reminded all of you that the Rihanna x Puma Fenty Fur Leadcat Slides were about to release. I made it clear that I was unsure whether or not the slides would sell well. It turns out that not only did they sell well at $80 a pop, the slide managed to sell out!

During a time where price hikes are the focal point of sneakerhead conversations, a furry slide had no problem selling at a retail price of $80. I think it’s safe to say that Rihanna’s presence is all that Puma had hoped for and more! The slides dropped yesterday in three different colorways, and all three colorways managed to sell out, and they did so even faster than Rihanna x Puma Suede Creeper collaboration that released not too long ago. This Rihanna x Puma connection is off to a good start. As long as Rihanna stays poppin’, it looks like anything Puma releases in collaboration with her will be an instant hit! Were you one of the people who picked up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m curious to see if these will sell out just like the past two drops that Rihanaa was a part of. or $80, I’m not too sure, I guess we will have to wait and see.
