Yo! MTV Raps x Puma Update
 Last month Puma released a new set of Yo! MTV Raps edition sneakers, but they are releasing some more in the coming days. Familiar silhouettes will be featured including the Match, First Round, and RS-100.
You will need to rely on your local Puma dealer or Footaction for the Match and the First Round, but the RS-100 has been made available online at Puma.com for $75. Heads up thanks to Sneaker News. |
HUF x Vans Sk8-Hi Satin
 HUF has made regular appearances with collabs, but upcoming work with Vans is one to keep an eye out for. Not long ago HUF produced a series of great satin New Eras that these satin Vans Sk8-Hi’s will hook with perfectly. HUF and Vans constructed four colorups blending simple colors like blue, red, and black with metallics gold and silver. Co-label action takes place on the back of the heel as well as HUF’s signature logo on the tongue.
Keith Hufnagel himself wouldn’t say when and how much, but I am sure we will hear the news soon enough. |

New Balance MT580 Luggage Takedown Pack
|
New Balance has teased Stateside sneakerheads for years dangling out great makeups of the MT580, but finally they are bringing the silhouette to the US in a big way. Not long ago we gave you an in depth look at the MT580’s debut to the US, but this summer will see a solid set of this shoe. The “Takedown Pack” features three pairs of New Balance MT580s dressed in materials and colors similar to the Super Team 33 Luggage Pack that was released a couple months ago. The pair on the left is inspired by modern Swiss Army luggage while the pair on the right is inspired by early 20th century steamer trunks that the European elite used when traveling across the Atlantic to America. With recent exchange rates and shipping costs 580 fans have grown accustomed to spending well over the $200 mark, but these will set you back only $100 when they arrive in August. Additional photos of each are posted after the jump made available by Crooked Tongues. |
Piet Mondrian Dunk Low SB
|
The Piet Modrian Dunk Low has begun delivering to top SB accounts and while the shoe does carry a fresh look in a simplistic way, one should consider the history of the inspiration. Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist born in the latter part of the 19th century that developed the unique style of grid based paintings. What seems so simple carries its unique beauty with thick black lines forming rectangles filled only with primary colors or left white. In a time where virtually any pattern, color, or material can be applied to a sneaker, sometimes it is the most basic and simplistic styles that look right. Paying homage in the best way, these Dunk Lows are made of canvas tying back to Mondrian’s medium for this artwork. The Piet Mondrian Dunks are available at premium SB shops nationwide including Palace5ive in DC. Palace5ive |
Vans Japan Leather Half-Cabs
|
Just like with virtually any other sneaker company, Vans plants greener grass in Japan. While there are plenty of great Half-Cabs released in the US in the Vans Vault collection, these Japanese exclusives are something that we wish made it here. This isn’t the first time we have found some gems made by Vans Japan, but hopefully something similar to these will make it to the US in the future. Pics thanks to High Snobiety. |
