PUMA Drops the All-New RS-X Franchise

In the continuing reinvention of the Running System (RS), PUMA is releasing the RS-X. The all-new RS-X extends the brand’s Future Retro range that takes inspiration from the past to inspire future Sportstyle designs.

Back in the ‘80s, the RS was an innovative and high-quality cushioning technology. Today, PUMA has revived and reinvented this design ground up. The new RS-X range is all-things extreme, exaggerated and remixed. Embracing the future and honouring the past, the OG-inspired silhouette celebrates extreme reinvention with its bulky design, material mixes, and bold colour palette.

Debuting in the RS-X range this season is the RS-X Reinvention sneaker, engineered with PUMA’s patented RS Technology on the midsole. Pushing the limits with its bulky silhouette, it features a modern rendition of the retro-inspired design. With a complete reboot, the innovative silhouette exemplifies an elevated fit and feel. Utilising mesh and textile for the upper, the sneakers are fitted with a moulded sockliner for added comfort. The timeless style of leather and suede overlays with an embossed textile heel piece provides the right mix of style, versatility and comfort. For this initial RS-X Reinvention pack, the colours have been selected from the most iconic pieces in the PUMA archive, giving them a new extreme context for this new silhouette.

The RS-X Reinvention drops today, November 1 2018, in leading sneaker stores worldwide as well as at PUMA SELECT and selected stores.

First Look: Kendrick Lamar x Nike Cortez Basic Slip

Coming with a predominately white upper, this sneaker is then contrasted perfectly by orange hits on the midsole, stitching and tongue details. Rounded off with grey panels and a deep navy Swoosh, the colour palette is clean and minimal, allowing the silhouette to truly stand out.

Rather than the traditional lacing system, this Cortez has been updated with laceless design. The Slip-on sneaker is a welcome addition to the Cortez lineage. Rounded off with ‘House Shoe’ on the orange strap, this sneaker gives of a LA vibe that Kendrick is known for.

The Kendrick Lamar x Nike Cortez Basic Slip drops Saturday, 3 November 2018 at selected retailers.

First Look: Nike Air Jordan 18 Retro - Black/Sport Royal

Coloured in the same OG theme that is a nod to the Washington Wizards, the sneaker is made of black suede across its upper with a removable shroud to hide its tongue and laces.

The sneaker is contrasted with metallic silver upper eyelets and royal blue for the lining and trimming. Final touches include flaps on the ankle that are inspired by the air vents of the Lamborghini Murcielago, while a blue midsole and black rubber sole tops it off.

The Nike Air Jordan 18 - Black/Sport Royal drops Saturday, 27 October 2018, at selected retailers.

First Look: Nike Air Jordan 6 'Tinker Hatfield'

Premium suede covers the upper of the Nike AJ6 ‘Tinker’. All the classic details make an appearance from the perforations across the sidewall to that visible Air Unit underfoot. Despite the old school appeal, this high-top promises the best in comfort and cushioning.

An oversized tongue makes the look even more eye-catching, featuring in a bold shade of red. As always, a toggle pull lets you pull the laces tighter. To complete the look, visible Jumpman branding gets stamped to the tongue and a robust heel clip sits at the rear.

First Look: PUMA x VOLCOM Debut Skate-Inspired Collection

PUMA and skate brand Volcom launch an exclusive skate-inspired sneaker pack for Billy’s ENT of Japan.

Paying homage to Japan's rise as a skateboarding nation, the PUMA X VOLCOM pack celebrates the sports debut in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Effortlessly balancing sports design with skate sensibilities, the retro-inspired CLYDE RT x VOLCOM FOR BLS draws inspiration from PUMA's vintage "Remo Spot" leopard design of the 90's. Adopting the Rubber Toe (RT) from the OG silhouette, the suede and luxe leather overlays along with the ghillies lacing system gives it a versatile finish. CLYDE x VOLCOM FOR BLS balances vintage appeal with modern design. The signature silhouette is rendered with Volcom's iconic graphic with a suede upper in monotone colourway.

The PUMA x VOLCOM capsule collection is available at PUMA SELECT, PUMA Gateway and PUMA Menlyn stores.
