Despite an inherent simplicity to their designs, much of No Mas’ designs reference important sporting events of the past. It’s these events and references that bring forth an interesting reflection and association. Here’s a small preview of the 2008 Summer/Fall collection from No Mas.
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. It also features an embroidered lottery ball pattern on the upper similar to the LA First Round. This shoe will be available in limited quantities starting March 17th only at Bodega.
Last year saw the release of an exclusive collaboration between sports inspired No Mas and Puma on their The Lottery First Rounds. The two are at it again this year with four new versions on that same iconic First Round. A small number will release at UNDEFEATED Las Vegas on February 13th. The first rendition is themed after the LA Lakers with a black leather and purple embroidered lottery ball pattern. The sneakers also feature three sets of laces with No Mas lace tips.
