Although created in honor of an Olympic gold medalist who defied color and received the 200m gold in 1968, the Puma Tommie Smith Gold Cyde Limited Edition trainer is perfect for the fan who wants to bling.
Fittingly, Tommie Smith was known as an eccentric person who loved expensive cars and clothes, so he would only be honored with a shoe just as crazy as he was.
For the contemporary show-off, the Puma trainers are the perfect complement to have peeking out from baggy jeans. Made from leather embossed with tiny gold medal icons from the 1968 Mexico City games, you cannot get more confident in a pair of winning trainers than when wearing the Tommie Smith Puma trainers.
Just so you don’t get too crazy and forget who the original superstar was, the trainers tongues have his name and winning time on labeled on them and the shoe strings which come in a variety of blue, white, and multi-colored have 1968 printed on the ends.
Actually, with the winning year embossed in gold inside on the heel of the fabric insole, the whole shoe itself is a whole history and reminder of the triumph victory of Tommie Gold.
Wear your bling with pride, and commemorate a great Olympian with the Puma Tommie Smith Gold Clyde.

Puma has become a prominent fixture in both the punk skating communities where it got its start, and in the mainstream trainers market today.
Puma actually started way back in 1987 with a small add in the back of punk magazine with their First Round Hi sneaker. Now they are honoring the skaters who started their success by releasing the Screaming Hand First Round Hi special edition sneaker.
The screaming hand graphic was a huge fixture in the Santa Cruz area, where Puma got their start which is why they choose to pay tribute to the area with their shoes.
With a bright brilliant color ‘screaming’ color scheme of teal blue and blood red, you will not miss these shoes coming down the hallway, and if the Screaming Hand First Round Hi Pumas are on your feet, no one is going to miss you.
With a synthetic black sole matched with the typical white trimming of a ked, the show will remind you of life in the eighties and maybe a bit of Johnny Ramone.
Unfortunately, if you want to get your hands on a pair of the Screaming Hand First Round Hi Puma’s you are going to have to have some serious motivation as they are only available in certain stores across the US for a limited time beginning August 30th, but hey, that’s what eBay is for right?
Air Jordan is taking a look back at its humble beginnings of the Michael Jordan brand by taking the Air Jordan 7 and revamping it to perform at modern day design standards.
The result is the Air Jordan True Flight which is a brilliantly striking shoe that will catch your eye twice as you realize you may have owned the shoe, in its lesser form before in your life.
If you can manage to wait until January 17th, the Air Jordan True Flight trainers can be yours for $140 dollars.
There’s nothing quite as great as getting your favorite shoe again, but with some top notch improvements such as Zoom air to comfort your swagger while utilizing a flatter sole to get a better grip on the court.
If you want to make sure everyone knows you own some Air Jordan kicks, as sometimes labels are the crème in the Brule, there are no worries with the True Flight trainers as the Jordan figure is on the tongue, both sides of the shoe, the shin of the shoe, and encrusted in the white and black sole.
Classically Air Jordan with its black fabric and red stitching as the predominant accent, the Air Jordan True Flight sneakers are worthy of a second look.
Nike has previously released a shoe for the Hornets point guard Chris Paul, but now that he has a gold medal in hand off the Olympic team, they decided its only fitting to release other this year known as the Air Jordan Chris Paul CP3 2009.
The Air Jordan is actually quite appealing to the eye as the signature CP3 2009 has intricate stitching down the sides with fabric patches in navy blue covering most of the side.
The heels are also in navy blue fabric bhut have a firm backing so don’t worry about support, because the fabric is deceiving to the shoe’s actual structure.
The Chris Paul’s are covered with white suede in the areas that don’t have fabric and have a nice snazzy toe grid to break up the front white monotony.
There is also an orange-yellow accent found on the sides of the shoes and the tongue, that while placed nicely, is a questionable color with the navy and overall is too dull for the shoe’s design.
Still, for the most part, the shoe is presentable and if you are a Chris Paul fan, you will probably want the Air Jordan Chris Paul CP3 2009 as soon as it hits stores.
