Marvel Bapesta

Marvel Bapesta

You probably have been hearing a lot about the collaboration of Marvel Comics and Bape. The t-shirts have been out for weeks, but still we don’t have any news about the Bapestas. In the latest issue of Touch magazine, they have some new updates of the shoes. Sad news is that they will be only available in Japan and not the States. Via Free Problem.

Puma Clyde

The Puma Walt “Clyde” Frazier party is probably taking place as I type so we won’t have pictures of the event yet. However, what we have are pictures of some new colorways for the Puma Clyde. The upper is made of grey colored suede accented with either green or purple. Rumor has it that they are limited to 600 pairs of each colorway. Pictures and info from Niketalk.
