GAME ON! THE PUMA X ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

By

Get ready to go on an island getaway with this latest collaboration between PUMA and Animal Crossing™: New Horizons. Tom Nook and other favourite characters from the popular franchise are featured in a variety of styles, including apparel and footwear for adults and kids. You won’t trade your new outfit for anything.

The PUMA x Animal Crossing: New Horizons crossover takes cues from the beloved game; the collection’s streetwear silhouettes are reimagined with natural colours and authentic graphics from the fun franchise. The resulting collaboration is ready for anything, with styles for both adults and kids, including some of PUMA’s most distinctive shoe silhouettes, Suede, Wild Rider, and Future Rider.

PUMA’s timeless style, the Suede, features a beige hairy suede upper, triple formstrip with printed graphics on the top layer, translucent sole with graphic imprint, tongue label with debossed co-branding, a leaf hangtag, and a canvas lace bag inspired by the bell bag with additional laces.

The Wild Rider silhouette is inspired by the movement and motion of city life. The collab version has a beige nylon upper adorned with an Animal Crossing resident print with green, blue, and sand suede overlays, a translucent formstrip on the side, an embroidered leaf on the heel and a debossed lace tag with PUMA’s logo.

The pack is not complete without the Future Rider. Constructed with nylon, canvas and suede overlays, this silhouette features a debossed leaf graphic on the heel, taken directly from the iconic Animal Crossing logo. The side TPU piece includes a graphic which alludes to the game’s design elements, as well as the canvas lace bag with additional laces to customise your look.

Your island escape wouldn’t be complete without some sharp adventure-ready outfits; short and long sleeve tees, hoodies, shorts, and sweatpants all in the signature colour palette of the game, in addition to spotlighting some of its most well-known residents and elements. Just don’t forget your boarding pass.

Tom Nook is waiting for you, so prepare for the most amazing trip with the new PUMA x Animal Crossing: New Horizons Collection. Available starting 18th September on PUMA.com and select retailers worldwide.

Air Jordan IV GAME BOY Sneakers – Super Mario Land Edition

By

Here we were thinking that our PUMA X Sega and Vans X Nintendo sneakers were cool, but then FreakerSNEAKS come along with their super duper custom and limited Air Jordan IV GAME BOY Super Mario Land sneakers!

These custom Jordans are seriously off the charts! With only 10 pairs available, of course they would demand a premium price (USD$1,350). Before you rush to the bank, you are too late – they are sold out.

Oh yeah, check out the other drool-worthy FreakerSNEAKS custom sneakers! We need a bib!

PUMA x SEGA RS-0 SONIC

By

UPDATE: Please note that these sneakers are now sold out!

Just in case you’ve just arrived back to this planet, Puma has collaborated with Sega to bring us some very cool Sonic The Hedgehog inspired shoes, sneakers, runners or whatever the hell you wanna call them.

We couldn’t resist so we went online and bought the Puma x Sega RS-0 Sonic sneakers. It was a tough choice but we decided to go with Sega’s blue blur shoes instead of the Eggman (Ed: getting both pairs would have been the right answer!).

What do you guys think of these Sonic inspired shoes? Do you like both pairs or do you prefer one over the other? Join in the conversation on Twitter or Facebook.

 

SEGA Space Harrier Model Sneakers

By

Holy cow! These SEGA Space Harrier MODEL runners (sneakers if you are from the North) have totally blown our minds!

Just take a good hard look at these sweet-as-f* runners! To say we love the Sega Space Harrier MODEL runners would be a huge understatement! Even if you are not a Space Harrier fan (Ed: say what?), you have to admit that these are pretty damn cool. We wonder if Yu Suzuki has a pair *pondering*?
