For the launch of the Sneaker Freaker x Puma Blaze of Glory, Puma will be hosting a party at the German sneaker boutique Solebox on April 25th.

Continuing with No Mas and Puma’s “Lottery” collaboration is the Boston First Rounds. This time the sneaker is dedicated to the Boston Celtics superstar Reggie Lewis and thus you will see details that reflect that such as the green accents as well as an RIP armband on the heel.

In its 4th season, the Puma Table Tennis Tournament has become synonymous with overly competitive industry people at each other’s throats with both company pride and industry bragging rights on the line. For the 2008 PT3 edition, the tournament is leaving its original Chinatown roots and taking over The powerHouse Arena in Brooklyn. The formidable cast of participants include Formavision, NY Times, Nom De Guerre, Google, Comedy Central, joao, Flavorpill, rude, Staple Design, Shop Architects, Theme Magazine and Psyop. Winners this year will take home a Puma Glow in the Dark Bike and afforded the opportunity to design a Mongolian BBQ Puma Basket. It’s unfortunate HYPEBEAST will not be in attendance as we know Chinese people are only good at three things, kung-fu, mathematics and ping-pong. The mayhem takes place this Friday, check the below for details.

Digging deep into the Puma archives, Australian sneaker magazine Sneaker Freaker looked to the Puma Disc Blaze as the basis for their most recent collaboration.

The shoe will come complete with shark teeth accessories (a tribute to what we assume is SF’s Australian heritage) as well as multiple sets of laces and insoles. Available starting April 26th, 2008.

At the culmination of the 1968 Olympics, newly crowned 200 meter Olympic champion and record holder Tommie Smith made a gesture which would lead to controversy and ultimately banning him from the Olympics. His act of a raised fist on the podium alongside the 3rd place finisher and compatriot John Carlos while barefooted was to represent black poverty. To commemorate this event, a two sneaker collection of Suedes will release later this month with a repeating fist monogram along the upper as well as include golden accents. Available in August of 2008.
