These were arguably one of the best Blazers to release last year, so if you missed out on your chance to grab a pair last year, don’t make the same mistake this time around.The upper is predominantly black anthracite, while the swoosh is chrome, and the midsole and laces are white.

NICK.

The release of the Puma Solebox collaboration is approaching, and the anticipation gets more unbearable by the day. In this futuristic, explosive design, we see the classic Puma combined with an altogether new style that will inspire the spectator to vibrate in harmony with the cosmic lines of energy. (Or maybe it won’t, but it does inspire us to speak in tongues, as you can see).

The pink, blue and white colors create an unusual combination, but this is an unusual pair too. Who will fail to be impressed by the beautiful and exciting design of the heel, the toe section, or the surprising contours of the upper? If you love sneakers, you’ll love these. If you love philosophy, you may meet Aristotle’s ghost while wearing these. The designers of Puma took creativity to an all new dimension with this superior item.

Nike’s second signature line for Kobe Bryant, this pack is devoted to realized dreams, and fulfilled hopes. Dreams are what distinguish the visionary from the ordinary fellow, and the competitive, cutthroat environment of basketball is perfect for a study of the concept, as realized in this beautiful pair from Nike.

The Nike Dream is ancient yet fresh and lively like it was born yesterday. And such is the design and form of these pairs too. They are built upon decades of refinement and improvement, but they are modern, vigorous, and strong as if they were entirely conceived and realized in the first months of this year.

Bearing the name of Kobe is a source of pride to any Nike or Basketball lover. Combining that experience with the honor of wearing such a wonderful pair makes the pleasure all the more incomparable. Via Kenlu. Release information will be available later.

This agile and swift design from Puma features a red leather/mesh upper with white and pink accents which all give the pair quite a fiery appearance. The hexagon pattern that covers the pink heel panel and the speckled design on the Puma logo stripe all add additional excitement to the joy of owning these.

These are light, stylish, elegant and shapely, just like we’ve come to expect from Puma over the years. The Red/white combination creates a perfect harmony that suits the overall fluid design of the shoe flawlessly.

We love this pair, but we hate the fact that it will be released in only limited numbers. MajorDC has some in stock right now.  So…if you have allies among ghosts, conspire with them, if Barack Obama is your relative call him, if you have angelic friends, ask them to stop time. No matter what, get these before they are gone. Via Sneakernews.com
