Three New Womens Colorways Of The PUMA Tsugi Shinsei Are Here
By SoleInsider
Having made its debut this past Spring, we now take a look at three new colorways of the PUMA Tsugi Shinsei which have taken the tonal route.
Labeled as women’s exclusive colorways, this trio of Tsugi Shinseis feature IGNITE FOAM for cushioning, a unique lace construction, and a fully knitted sock upper for comfort. The silhouette that is inspired by Japanese architecture is presented in three different colorways of Marshmallow, Lapis Blue, and Hot Coral. All three are finished off with the IGNITE FOAM midsoles done in white for a clean look that focuses all of the attention on the upper along with a razor-edged rubber outsole.
The ladies can scoop up all three pairs at select PUMA retailers now for $100 each.
The Staple x PUMA Tsugi Shinsei comes done in a predominantly dark grey upper which is constructed out of a stretchable and breathable mesh. Staple’s signature pink hue appears on the midsole with finishing details including white accents on the tongue area, the PUMA branding on the tongue, and the NTRVL that’s written on the heel. Look for the Staple x PUMA Tsugi Shinsei at select retailers in the near future.
Known as the PUMA XO Parallel, the shoe takes on a sneakerboot look as it comes constructed out of suede and leather on the upper. The highlights of the PUMA XO Parallel include an extended ankle collar, a thick rubber sole unit, XO branding on the tongue, and the signature PUMA formstripe on the side panels.
Look for the PUMA XO Parallel in all-white to release on August 24th at select top-tier retailers, including Kith, The Webster and Barneys for a price tag of $220. The olive pair is still awaiting a release date.
Puma continues to sign big names to their team. Their latest partnership? Skylar Diggins is the brand’s newest Puma Women ambassador.
The WNBA Superstar was initially team Nike, but that is no longer the case. She now becomes the newest addition of a roster that includes Rihanna, Big Sean, The Weeknd and Kylie Jenner. Not a bad starting 5 if we say so ourselves.
While with Nike, Skylar Diggins has a few PE releases, most notably the Nike HYperRev 2016, while also taking part in many campaigns for Nike athletic footwear.
Also worth mentioning is that Diggins is the latest member of RocNation to link up with Puma. She joins fellow RocNation members Big Sean and Rihanna to form a really nice team. Also, let’s not forget Jay-Z’s current partnership with Puma for this 4:44 Tour.
Is a Puma basketball sneaker in the works? Who knows. Puma currently does not make basketball shoes, but anything is possible, right? In the mean time, expect Diggins to endorse Puma product in campaigns outside of competition.
Oh year. Since Diggins is no longer with Nike, and Puma does not make basketaball shoes(for now), Diggins is currently wearing adidas on the court.

Puma Celebrates Usain Bolts Journey And Finals Race With Special Pair Of Bolt Legacy Spikes
By SoleInsider
Last night in London, Puma held a press conference that celebrated Usain Bolt and his legendary status and long track & field career.
Puma made sure to remind Usain of key moments in his life that contributed to his legacy, and Usain?s parents surprised him by joining him onstage to present him with a special pair of Bolt Legacy Spikes that commemorate his journey as he prepares for his final race.
Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt gifted their son his first pair of spikes back when he began running on the track, so it was only fitting that they were there to hand him the final pair of his professional career as well. These are the Bolt Legacy Spikes made exclusively for London and they have design details from key moments in his journey. The right shoe is labeled ?Forever? and has the alpha symbol to represent the beginning of his career. The shoe is in the purple and green from William Knibb High School where he started on the track. The left shoe is labeled ?Fastest? and has the omega symbol to represent the finish of his career. The left shoe is gold to represent his successes and the sock liner highlights his major achievements since 2002. The tongue of the spikes have Usain?s signature and a mark of his classic pose embossed, the Jamaican flag is also incorporated to show the love he has for his home country.
?Usain Bolt has been a transformative figure for track & field and brought a type of energy that the sport has never seen before,? said Bjoern Gulden, CEO of PUMA. ?The way he has stayed true to his core messages, family, and fans the whole time has been what?s really resonated with people all around the globe. We are proud to have been working with Usain for so many years now and our partnership will continue long after his race this weekend.?
Usain Bolt will wear his Legacy Spikes on the track in London and limited pairs are available at select retailers.
KoF Live: Reliving My Childhood With The Puma Tsugi Shinsei 90s Pack & A Clean Pair Of The Puma Tsugi Netfit
By SoleInsider
Mail time! Puma recently blessed our mailbox with not one, but two different iterations of the Puma Tsugi: One pair from the Puma Tsugi Shinsei 90?s Pack and one pair of the Puma Tsugi Netfit. Let’s take a closer look at both.
Pup not included
Starting off with the presentation of the Puma Tsugi Shinsei 90?s Pack (hats off, Puma). Puma went all out with this one, man! Being that this Puma Tsugi Shinsei comes dressed in colorfiul 90?s vibes, the shoe came with a bunch of items many of us used back in the 90s (assuming you were an adolescence back in the day). Inside a clear see through backpack you will find a Black and Grey Puma windbreaker, a koozie with a classic design straight from the 90s, a Squeezeit juice, a disposable flash camera, some puddy, a koosh ball, a water gun, a gameboy-style phone case, fruit gushers, fruit by the foot, retro-style sunglasses and some hubbba bubba buble tape. Talk about childhood nostalgia, huh?
FYI: The retail version of the Puma Tsugi Shinsei 90?s Pack will not come with all the ’90s goodies you see above.
The Puma Tsugi Shinsei comes equipped with IGNITE Foam in the foot-bed for flexibility and cushioning. The unique lacing concept gives you the liberty to personalize the fit. It also comes with a sock construction with padded tongue and textile vamp. The elastic heel wrap features Puma branding while the razor-edged rubber outsole completes the look. I got the Green and Black colorway, which is dope since that’s the one I had my eye on from the get-go.
The Puma Tsugi Netfit came in your traditional Green Puma box, but there’s nothing traditional about the new design utilized on the model. Back in May, Puma introduced their new lacing system that goes by the name of NETFIT. NETFIT offers a unique customizable lacing system that will adapt to whatever you performance needs and style preference is, all in one shoe. The Puma Tsugi is one of the first models to try on the NETFIT lacing system. Using netted mesh as overlays on the side panels allows you to have complete control over how you?d like to lace up your sneaker. Although I haven’t had the chance to play around with my own creative designs, I already have a few ideas in mind. I’m pretty excited to see what I can come up with.
Both the Puma Tsugi Shinsei 90?s Pack ($110) and the Puma Tsugi Netfit ($95) are now available directly from Puma.com as well as select Puma retailers now.
A big thank you to Puma for blessing up with both pairs, it’s very much appreciated.
Take A Look At The Puma Clyde 4:44 That Was Made Exclusively For Jay-Z
By SoleInsider
Earlier this month we let you know that Puma would be partnering with Jay-Z for the 4:44 tour. When that news broke, many of us were wondering if sneakers would able be a part of the partnership. Less than two week since the partnership announcement, a collab-type sneaker has already surfaced.
Above you will see the shoe that’s currently dubbed the Puma Clyde 4:44. The teaser look shows the back end of the shoe that comes with a branded heel that reads 4:44, the name of Jay-Z’s latest album. Even the color scheme of the shoe mimics the cd?s cover, it even comes with a barcode on the lateral side of the heel. Below you will find a White sole to complete the look.
Said to be a sample pair, no news has been reported yet that these will ever release to the public. You never now though, anything is possible. Stay tuned.
