If two heads are better then one, then three heads must be the BOMB! In their latest collaboration, PUMA works with Gumball 3000 and UNDFTD to create and 200 pair limited edition footwear for all the drivers of the upcoming Gumball 3000 Rally. So if you’re not a driver for the event, don’t hope you’ll be getting a pair anytime soon.

Anyway, from what it looks like, the pair comes with dark green suede uppers and brown laces, and perhaps white midsoles. That’s all I know because that’s all I can see. Stick around if you’re madly interested about the shoes.

Nike just dropped a bomb in the world of sports footwear, with the Italian made Nike Air Max 97 LUX. I guess it’s needless to say that the pair is engineered from exquisite Italian leather; it’s a different take from the usual Air Max’s from Nike which consists of different materials.

The Nike Air Max 97 LUX however is all leather, and is almost all black. A hot pink flash can be spotted on the Air Max, while hints of silver can be seen on the heel pull tab and tongue. These exquisite pair is a limited edition of 1695 pairs, and if you ever purchase one, you’ll know which of…

Denim has been the bag and shoe trend for this year’s spring collections, and Acne has acknowledged that fact, as they uncover the Acne 2010 Spring Denim Plimsoles.

Acne’s take on the classic pair of Plimsoles is anything but conventional, the 2010 Spring Denim Plimsoles. Are offered in two smashing color ways, or denim styles if I may say so myself. The first one comes in full acid-washed blue denim upper which is almost white with blue hints in appearance; it sports white soles and dark brown laces. The second one comes in washed black denim upper which is paired off with black rubber soles and dark brown laces.

Mike Carroll and Rick Howard ventured into the shoe business after a successful attempt on the Skateboarding industry. They introduced Lakai Limited Footwear with the same pride and dedication as tot eh time they started their business.

Visvim is a Japanese label started by Hiroki Nakamura, who believed that the world needed a label that takes the word ‘footwear’ to a different level. Hiroki wanted to produce shoes that were different in every way, different than the average and contemporary sneakers we usually get from Nike and the likes. So he took that aspiration into action.

Thus, here we are bombarded by unusual shoes like the FBT Shaman Collection, which will be released later this year in vibrant suede structures. The collection features the FBT Shaman in five colors; blue, green, red, black and yellow, all complete with frills. Who else can pull off the look but the…
