Previous releases included the 1970s Championship Pack which featured the Seattle Supersonics and Boston Celtics. This round of Baskets include the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. Each sneaker features a skyline of the city and replaces the “BASKET” logo with the respective city’s name.

Last week saw the initial unveiling of the Atmox x Puma Endangered Species pack which featured footwear based on a variety of endangered animals. While part one included animals based largely on the North and South Poles, a follow-up reveals other animal based styles such as the Ibis (bird) Clyde and the Panda Mid. Each sneaker includes a detailed photographic shot on the insole, captured by award winning Japanese photographer Mitsuaki Iwago. Set to release July 28th at Atmos locations.

Taking a theme literally and running with it is probably the best way to describe Atmos’ latest sneaker collaboration with Puma. Three endangered species from the snowy wastelands of the Arctic and Antarctic are portrayed through the eyes of Puma’s vintage model, the Clyde as well as a lesser seen model, Mid. The pack of animal-based sneakers grabs its inspiration largely from wildlife photographer Mitsuaki Iwago (of National Geographic) and photos accumulated over the years. The pack, aside from pushing the envelope for sneaker themes was created to bring awareness to the dire wildlife preservation situation. The three animals chosen as inspirations include the Harp Seal Clyde, Polar Bear Clyde and Macaroni Penguin Mid (frills seen around the ankle). Exclusive to Atmos, these will release on June 28th with price tags ranging from $125 USD to $150 USD.

Puma keeps on strengthening their lineup with nice modifications.

Back in 2007, sneaker customizer Rob L officially teamed up with Puma to create the “Archipelago” Clydes, a tribute to the Greek word for range of islands. For 20 years, Rob L has become an incessant fan of the Clyde and Suede profile, beginning with the book “Spraycan Art”. The original custom sneakers featured a special technique involving Pantone markers to create the patchy upper, mimicking small concentrations of islands. The popularity of this sneaker has spawned a full production version. Capturing the essence of the original, the Clyde is very much similar to its custom sneaker originator (perhaps the status can be upgraded to sample now). The sneaker will be available in two colors, with a nubuck upper and special padded tongue to ensure the laces are spread wider apart and achieve that “jellyroll” look. A worldwide release date is set for June 21st. Available at Solebox.
In what could only be likened to an unofficial Build-A-Bear collaboration, Puma’s First Round has undergone a serious transformation taking various elements from Teddy Bears as its inspiration. On top of the ample amounts of fake fur, the upper also features sewn on buttons and exposed stitching.

It seems like Han Cholo, makers of fine jewelry from Los Angeles, will be working with Puma to release their own version of the Puma First Round. This Han Cholo x Puma First Round will feature Han Cholo printed on both the upper back portion of the shoe as well as the bottom of the sole. Unfortunately at this time, no further information has been released.

As winners of the NBA’s first draft lottery, the New York Knicks selected seven footer Patrick Ewing to cornerstone their team. Despite not paying dividends in the form of titles, the big man became an unforgettable member of New York’s die hard basketball community for the next 15 years. For 2008, New York will once again look to the basketball gods in hopes of securing something good on Tuesday, May 20th. In a similar spirit to an event that started last year, one day before the official draft, Classic Kicks will host their own lottery drawing on May 19th with the release of a No Mas x Puma First Round modeled in classic New York colors. Participants will be given the opportunity to score a life size portrait of New York’s former captain, Patrick Ewing. RSVP’s are required at lottery@nomas-nyc.com
