917 Mid Popart

PUMA - 917 Mid Manga

While PUMA’s collaborations with Sergio Rossi and Alexander McQueen proved that the label has upscale luxury on its mind, the label 917 Mid Manga proved that it can go on the other side of the spectrum. Taking on the silhouette of the label’s 917 Mid, these sneakers get a Japanese touch with details drawn and sewn own. Also, take note of the animated details such as the reflective bubble on the toe cap, dotted shadow and sketchy shading. If a manga artist was to draw the 917 Mid in his work and that resulting pictures is promptly realized in the real world with three dimensions, this would be the end product. Fun with a whimsical sense of humor, the PUMA 917 Mid Manga is available for pre-order now at FLAUGE.

PUMA - 917 Mid Manga

Manga fans should think these are just the bees knees. The Puma 917 Mid is given a Japanese animation feel with its graphic reworking in homage of the celebrated genre of film. The 3D translation is rendered beautifully using dots for shading in concert with lines and a reflective toe cap. Pictures usually don’t do products justice and while this still holds true for this one its kinda cool to see the three dimensional object that mimics a two dimensional drawing reduced to a two dimensional photograph. These go on sale soon. Via Freshness close

Puma Mid Profile Sneakers Spring 20

Puma never gets the shine they deserve but they are coming strong for the spring season in 2010. The three models seen here all lack much branding, which makes the perfect for today’s hipster crowd. All though each shoe features a vulcanized sole they are basketball sneakers. The vulcanization makes them great for skateboarding too. Via: BNYC close

Puma Mid Full Bubble 2010 Preview

One look at the new Puma model and there is now question why these are called Full Bubbles. The whole entire sneaker literally sits on top of a green visible air unit giving it an alien-esque look. Speckled midsole, black mesh and leather, a patterned sock lining, and pale blue laces all add to give the sneaker another worldly look. Overall these are not a bad sneaker I just cannot imagine what sport these can be linked to. Via: SneakersBr close

Puma Mid Full Bubble - 2010 Release

The new Nike Air Max LeBron VII has an impressive wrap-around seamless Air bubble.  It took the Swoosh over 20 years to perfect that kind of cushioning and Puma got on the idea immediately thereafter.  Pictured above is the Puma Mid Full Bubble.  It’s based on the classic Puma Mid design but the insane neon green cushioning unit wraps around the entire sneaker.  We expect plenty more new Pumas with Bubble technology, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via SneakersBRRead the rest of Puma Mid Full Bubble - 2010 Release© Sneaker News, 2009. |Permalink |3 comments |Add todel.icio.us close
