Check out these Puma Suedes with a slick modern twist.
Puma normally save the rubber style heel units and high tech designs for the Mihara range, but here they’ve tweaked the humble old Suede….and it works really well!
Gravis continue to impress us with their great designs, premium materials and unbeliably low RRP.
The Helix is a low profile sneaker with a skate style silhoutte, phat tongue 2 tone brown suede/leather finish.
A cracking street sneaker!

Whoops a daisy!…Image the nightmare. It’s a Sunday morning and you’ve offered to help out your grandma and paint her bathroom and BANG you’ve just dropped the paint pot all over your yourself and more importantly your sneakers! - After a few minutes of shouting obscenities you realise that your sneakers look pretty cool, and by freakish luck you’ve given yourself some hot new customs!
Well this is what we think happened to one of the design team at Vans…check out the below.
K-Swiss have teamed up with the chaps at Atmos in Japan, and together they’ve produced a 6 piece collection….and it’s pretty good! 
In this post we are going to concentrate on, in our humble opinion the the best sneaker of the 6 designed, and that is the Rannel.
It’s a high tech looking runner, with a lush light grey elephant/safari skin upper. Its’s finished with a bright red and gold detailing which bring this shoe alive. It’s got a hexalite style heel & toe cushioning system with gold midsole windows which looks dope man!
Check out the shots…
Everyone here and large portions of the UK sneaker community were worried when the world famous Footpatrol store in London’s Soho closed down. Many thought the credit crunch was in full flow and the writing was on the wall for many indie sneaker retailers…..but thankfully we were all wrong.
Adidas have shown much faith in Footpatrol and now they’ve collab’d with one of the ZX consortium range -Introducing - Adidas ZX 800 Footpatrol.
Looking good boys!
Oh My God, wait til you see these Mita Japan Asics Gel Lyte releases, otherwise know as “Kirimomi Project” These are molten hot!
We’ve been trying to get out hands on them but not a chance. These were only released in Japan and we all know how nuts they are for sneakers over there.
The shoe is just a standard Gel Lyte 3 but the combination of metalics an polka dots have worked spelndidly well. Lets hope theres a re-issue at some point soon!
Macbeth are pretty new on the sneaker scene, those who read Sneaker Freaker will have seen their ad campaigns in the magazine. For those who don’t know they are a Australian brand which produce sneakers, Tee’s, hoodies and general apparel. They also have an extended family of sponsored Bands, Skate & Surf pro’s.
Their sneaker designs are pretty retro, they have simple low profile skate/surf look similar to Converse, Vans & PF Flyer’s.
We’ve picked out the Eliot to show you.
This is the Jim Greco pro model of the Suprano High. Both colourways are lush and everyone should have a pair of these beautiful sneakers.
Pop the tongue with some nice denim or simply wear with some heavy duty combat shorts.
As these are pro model they’re packed with technology such as High top version of the Suprano with a removable velcro strap, Extra heel protection molded into a light weight EVA insole, Thin lightweight cupsole, Full length midsole injected with SupraFoam® providing entire foot impact resistance, optimal shoe flex, and board feel, Mesh tongue for foot ventilation,Thin soft collar and tongue foam and last but not least a BK mesh sock liner.
This is for those 80’s kids out there, here’s a blast from the past for you - the Reebok Pump Victories are back!
I personally remember desperately wanting a pair of these when I was about 8 years old and my mum wouldn’t let me have them, she said because I was so skinny, my legs would look like golf clubs… The truth hurt, but she probably did me a favour!
Nice elephant print gray leather on the toe box. Super comfy nylon on the top of the toe box, no break in needed these are comfy out the box. Pump pump pump it up!
Just following up on the Rob-L post yesterday, we decided that you’d probably like to see some of his previous work and especially the SoleHeaven “Pimp my Clyde”. This shoe was designed for SoleHeaven and was a centre piece at the London launch of the Puma x Rob-L Archipelago.
Yes, and before ask these were 100% handpainted and took well over 40hours to complete.

The Sneaker Freaker Blaze of Glory has inspired a couple of new releases from Puma. They’re still calling it the Blaze of Glory, but one is Graffiti inspired and the other strangly on the Mexico 1968 olympics (Get over it Puma, it’s getting boring now)
The great man that is Rob-L is back and he’s working along side Puma once again!
The Puma x Rob-L Archipelago clyde was a storming success and all 500 pieces sold within weeks.
Puma are opening a new concept store in Bristol, Rob’s home town and he has put together a special exhibition to celebrate - The Avon Clyde
