Author’s TakeThe Disc Blaze is one of my favorite silhouette from Puma. I’m just a fan of the lacing system and of course its sleek profile. Not really a fan of Purple, but this variation is pretty solid.

The Puma Trinomic Sock is one of Puma’s newest silhouettes and is definitely taking the sneaker world by storm. But it’s not doing it by itself. With the help of Stampd, Puma is passing over a pretty dope rendition of the silhouette.
The Stampd x Puma Trinomic Sock shows off a double grey upper, with a ventilated mesh portion and suede. White hits up the midsole, contrasting the upper and completing the design. If you’re interested in copping, all you’ve got to do is hit up your local Puma retailer.

Meek Mill might not want to feel that Drake 3peat, but I am here for Solange‘s third victory with Puma. Word To the Woman finds Solange and her creative collective, Saint Heron, celebrating innovative and empowered women with a redesigned Puma suede classic. Kicks for the #ChicksOnFire out there, for real.
She brings her bold and vibrant color palette to the Puma suede classic and gives it a twist with wondrous textures by embossing the fabric with triangles, squares and chevron. Each pair ($90) with a different texture and color (navy, gold, kelly green and a silvery white). But it doesn’t stop there – to really drive home the message Saint Heron has launched a site: WordToTheWoman.com.
It features over a dozen women (Hey Kitty Cash!) of different backgrounds representing the vast differences among gender roles. Under the art direction of Solange there are interviews, stunning photography by J. Quazi King, mood shots by Alan Del Rio Ortiz – all styled by Lizzy Okpo.
The kicker? This is just the first part of Word To The Woman. We can expect a sequel soon. To stay up on the celebration and collaboration, follow @wordtothewoman on Instagram. Get your kicks at store.saintheron.com, Puma and other retailers.

Author’s TakeSolange is a master curator of style and creativity. At every turn her work with Puma has paired progressive and chic designers like William Okpo with the brand to redesign iconic silhouettes. And this latest collab has a message of female empowerment, so I’m in. I love the rich colors and deep textures on the classic suede. When I opened the boxes, I immediately wanted to go on an adventure. I can’t wait to see the second part of this capsule.
Not only is the New Balance 530 the newest New Balance model that contains “Pinball” themes, it also happens to be available for purchase now! Let’s take a closer look at the New Balance 530 that’s inspired by the classic retro pinball machine.
The New Balance 530 comes in a black upper that consists of rich suede and mesh paneling. To offset the dark look of the sneaker, that heel counter, “N” logo and tongue all come in bright red and orange colors. Adding a little bit more contrast to the shoe is the mint green hits found on the New Balance logo on the tongue patch as well as in the “530” on the heel. Completing the look are the black laces, a white IMEVA midsole, and a blown rubber outsole, Available now at select New Balance retailers, go ahead and pick up your own pair for $100.
Author’s Take
The colors do remind me of the pinball machines, especially the mint green found on the tongue branding of the shoe. I like the suede and mech build, and the leather side paneling definitely give the shoe more of a premium look.

In case you haven’t noticed or payed attention, the New Balance 1500 has received a face-lift this Summer. Dubbed the New Balance 1500 Re-Engineered, the traditional runner has been given more of a lifestyle look that will appeal to yet another different audience.
This new New Balance, no pun intended, features a completely new designed upper with the addition of leather, suede and a seamless construction. The REVlite performance midsole is still there so you can guarantee that these bad boys will still be as comfortable as before. All New Balance did was give this sneaker more of a premium and casual look that allows you to take these kicks out for a night on the town. Both of the colorways you see above are available now at select New Balance retailers so make sure to hunt these bad boys down and give those retros a break when you step out on a Friday night.

Author’s TakeI like what New Balance did with the 1500. They gave it a luxurious lifestyle look without changing too much of the original look.

New Balance has crafted a refreshing pack this Summer that is inspired by something that will never stop being popular in the world, beer.
Beer is drank year-round, but it’s pretty much a fact that people love drinking the alcoholic beverage a little more during the Summertime to cool down after a long day. I’m personally not a big fan of beer, but to each his own. This new trio of New Balance kicks is dubbed the “Real Ale” Pack and consists of the New Balance 1500, New Balance CT300 and the New Balance 576. Each pair has the name of the pack on the tongue patch along with “Brewed in England” detailing to inform us that these were crafted in England.
We expect to see all three silhouettes from this “Real Ale” Pack at select New Balance retailers this Summer. Which model do you have your eyes set on?
via: SC
Author’s TakeEven though I’m not really a person who drink beer, this a pretty cool pack. You can’t go wrong with either the 1500 or the 576, the suede on both of them looks amazing.
