SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

Words_Jeremy Ripley

It’s 1990 all over again. Call me Lord Finesse, because the PUMA First Round “Teddy Bear” is strictly for the ladies. Crafted in soft, tranquil colors like yellow, sky blue, and pink pastelles, PUMA’s high sloping reissue is perfect for cuddling or whatever you might undertake with your significant other. The shoe’s singularity resides in its atypical detailing as imprinted stars adorn the upper, oversized stitching levees the ankle region, and a prodigiously comfortable faux-fur lines the inner. Hate me now, but PUMA clearly outperformed the Swoosh in the teddy bear fur department. I can see fashionable women wearing these. I could see the Nike SB 3 Bears pack sitting on store shelves, untouched and gathering dust particles. The release is now available at Atmos Japan. If the “Teddy Bear” releases stateside, we’ll be sure to provide availability information.
