Neon Pattent Leather RS100s

High Snobriety Has some pictures of Pumas coming out in 2007. What really caught my eye was these
neon patent leather RS100s. Normally the front toe area is made of reflective material but in these pics it looks like they wanted that to be patent leather. I think that was a bad move, but that's why I am a blogger and not a sneaker designer.These extremely reflective RS100s are pretty dope. the remind me of the nitebrites I posted a while back but these will probably see a wider release.

Bonnie et Clyde

Sorry for the unannounced hiatus I have had a really busy week with lots of work and shows.
Puma is making two Clydes with the theme of Bonnie and Clyde.
The best thing about these shoes is they come in a giant sack with dollar signs allover it.


I think it would be cool if it came with a big, round, black cartoon bomb with a burning fuse.

You asked for it

Baron Vaughan, one of my favorite comedians, and one of New York's sexiest reads round house kicks. I talked to him Thursday at Oh Hello at Rififi, New York's best comedy/burlesque venue. He said he was in the market for a pair of sneakers and would like me to post something flashy, but not ugly. This will be the first in a series of interesting limited sneakers that aren't ugly, but worth considering for actual purchase.
Cheech Wizard was a great comic from the 70s. Cheech was basically a red ball with legs that wore a huge floppy yellow hat with red and black stars. Cheech lived in a weird fairytale land and spoke some sort of gibberish jive. I read some Cheech stuff a while ago because I heard that it was a huge influence for the guy who made Fritz the cat. Some time soon Puma will be coming out with these Clydes along with the hoodie. Hopefully they will come with an extra set of big fat red puma laces.

RS100 nitelite

Puma's really pushing the RS100s. these are part of a 3M pack. The Puma 'stripe' and toe will be made out of 3M scotch brite. The Nike's that were made with this stuff look bad ass, particularly at night. People should seriously consider getting a pair. I recommend the blue ones that won't make you look like a homosexual space man.I'm leaving for vacation on Saturday morning. This may be the last post I make for a week and a half. However when I come back there will be over a weeks worth of ugly sneaker news to report on. I am pretty psyched. I would love to get feedback from anyone about what sort of posts they like, what they could care less about.

PUMA

Puma has a rainbow of clydes coming out. Sorry these shoes aren't ugly (enough) but I wanted to make a gay pun. Seriously Puma ha been working hard on the ugly sneaker front. Also they get props from me for supporting fixed-gear cycling in NYC and elsewhere. Fixies area growing trend that Nike seems to be ignoring completely.
These RS100s are more up to par with what I am looking for in too much color. I like the extra laces and how they match the extra colors in the sole. It's good stuff. These are the kind of shoes you get for a retarded child so that if he runs away he's easier to spot at night.

Win Ugly Sneakers

Yesterday in Germany the pink YO! MTV RAPS Pumas came out and sold out almost instantaneously. Only 225 pairs were made. Only 50 of the green version will be made and Puma is giving a pair away. All you have to do is enter their contest. To be compleatly honest these shoes don't reach my criteria for ugly shoes. Puma consistently gets bested by Nike.
