First Look: PUMA TSUGI Kori

The TSUGI is back with a new silhouette just in time for the season with the TSUGI Kori, engineered to protect from the elements and styled to perfection.

Featuring an aggressive rugged outsole, knitted sock collar, soft moulded overlays, and a woven heel gore, the TSUGI Kori offers plenty of support, grip and comfort. Constructed with water repellent materials and a neoprene construction, the sneaker keeps you dry and protected from the elements.

The TSUGI Kori is a season offering of the progressive silhouette that first launched earlier this year. ‘TSUGI’ simply translates to ‘NEXT’ in Japanese, incarnating the fusion of modernity, technology and traditions, and bringing a new wave of aesthetic to progressive streetwear. Developed from the TSUGI Blaze, the TSUGI Kori draws inspiration from the famous PUMA Archive, incorporating elements of the iconic Blaze of Glory running silhouette.

PUMA injected their most innovative running cushioning technology, the IGNITE FOAM, into the new TSUGI range. Strategically placed under the foot-bed, IGNITE offers ideal flexibility in the forefoot and cushioning in the heel for comfort. What gave runners the optimal rebound and comfort can now be enjoyed by sneaker heads on the streets looking for the latest high-tech streetwear solution.

Available in PUMA Black/White, Black/Olive Night and Rock Ridge/Birch from selected retailers throughout the country.

First Look: Nike Special Field Air Force 1 Desert Ochre

Nike Drops the Special Field Air Force 1 Desert Ochre. The sneaker features premium and soft leather features across the upper in a deep shade of brown. It is further enhanced with a bold colourway across the heel. The vibrant use of orange instantly grabs attention and sets this apart as an exclusive.

Rising high at the ankle, this Air Force 1 delivers a far more contemporary look than the original 80s basketball style. Robust straps keep the foot locked in place with elasticated detailed that stretches around the entire ankle. Synthetic locks and a zip across the heel adds even more functionality. This urban military-inspired silhouette is finished off with classic Nike branding throughout and a set of tonal coloured laces, as well as a chunky AF1 midsole underfoot.

The Nike Special Field Air Force 1 Desert Ochre is available at selected retailers.

First Look: PUMA x solebox ‘Champagne Pack’

PUMA and solebox have partnered on their latest release dubbed the ‘Champagne Pack.’ The pack features PUMA’s iconic 90s inspired runner, the Blaze of Glory and its new progressive alter-ego, the B.O.G. Limitless.

The Blaze of Glory is decked in premium nubuck and mesh upper combo with a bold Trinomic sole with a hint fluo green on the outsole, a nod to the champagne bottle’s special labeling. The B.O.G. Limitless stands-out with a full engineered sock and the embossed leather, nubuck overlays topped with a glow-in-the-dark outsole and a prism pink collar. Both pairs further impress with a cork footbed, solebox branded leather heel tab and the waxed cotton laces.

First Look: Nike Air Jordan 11 Low IE Fire Red
