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.

I can’t pull these off. For starters, do I wear these before, during or after physical activity? I’m so lost right now…Yeah.

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.

I wasn’t aware of the firm till now, but this execution is pretty sweet. Either pair is great for the season, but I’m leaning towards the more colorful pair.

You really can’t go wring with either pair. If you’re looking for attention you can rock the white and pink pair and you wanna be lowkey then the black option will help with that. Pretty cool project from Graphers Rock and PUMA.

Not a huge fan of the model, but the Grey and White pair with the colorful hits looks to be a clean shoe for the Spring. The only thing stopping me from getting a pair is the $180 price tag.

I’m a fan of runners in general. The makeup on this is solid but I’m just biased towards the colorway. If you’re looking for something bright, this is a good choice.

The Crossover x Puma Blaze Of Glory Velvet Twin Pack is the latest collaboration coming out of Puma. A two-pair pack, today we take a look at one of the shoes that make up the collaboration.

Puma teams up with Crossover, a small sneaker boutique in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia to create a shoe that is said to be inspired by the stereotypical view of suburban Americana. What does a shoe like that look like you ask? Well, in the minds of Malaysia’s Crossover, suburban Americana consists of white picket fences, a clear blue sky, perpetual optimism and a parade of roses. Crossover feels they were able to transcend that look onto the appearance of the shoe. The shoe comes in a grey base, a speckled overlay, hits of teal and pink and a predominantly white midsole. Crossover branding is spotted on the tongue, while Puma branding can be seen on the heel and tongue. Set to release on April 23rd, let us know what you think about the shoe.
