The Puma R698 is one of the few sneaker models to maintain the classy, lightweight, and retro feel that most sneakerheads desire. Featuring a leather and mesh upper lighted up by orange and light blue accents, this pair does not only yield a great colorway, but also includes the trinomic sole system which provides the comfort and flexibility needed to run that extra mile. Most Puma fans will definitely notice that this trinomic sole unit is also included on some of Puma’s more popular models such as the Blaze of Glory and the Disc Blaze. These are set to release sometime in 2009. Via Sneaker Freaker.
