Puma is opening its storied archives yet again, this time for the re-release of the classic PUMA Bluebird ($65). Known in the 80’s as a lightweight indoor trainer, the Bluebird has been revamped and styled with soft suede and a gold foil logo for a new look that is both street-ready and totally fresh. A gum outsole adds a unique look to this ageless style.

The PUMA Bluebird sneaker may be the cornerstone, but PUMA’s Bluebird capsule collection also features apparel inspired by the shoe, including the Edition Crew Sweat ($70). We love how seamlessly this soft easy sweatshirt fits into the collegiate, preppy trend we’ve been seeing – with a slight twist for added interest. (Sorry guys, but your girlfriend is stealing this one.) The collection also includes the Edition Wind Jacket ($80) great for fall layering. The jacket features large pockets and a hood hidden in its collar, which can be zipped and unzipped to change up your look. And finally, to round out the range there‘s the sporty yet, classic Bluebird Edition Kai Track Jacket ($90) and an array of fun and bold graphic tee’s ($30).

PUMA Bluebird apparel and footwear is available now at select Bloomingdale’s locations.

The Puma R698 Classic Kicks collection is the latest List drop to come from Puma.

Sneaker retailers, Classic Kicks are known for their progressive style and wide range of innovative product so it was a natural choice for Puma to work with them on this collaboration.

Classic Kicks have a unique perspective and understanding of sports heritage which has allowed for them to update this popular running style by creating a lifestyle trainer fit for the sneaker fans.

This limited edition range of the R698 is bursting with nostalgic 90s color combinations and sports ultra soft, comfy-cosy materials. The old school Puma Trinomic technology remains, with its reflective, 3M application across the heel, outsole and woven in the mesh. This is finished off with the Classic Kicks branding sitting on the sock liner and tongue tab.

Accompanying the R698 kicks is a neoprene branded laptop bag that compliments the bright color schemes of the shoes.

Make sure you get your Classic Kicks this February!

As part of February 2009′s Nike SB collection, this Nike Dunk SB Mid is set to drop. Featuring a multicolored upper with a black shoe lace region and a beige swoosh, this pair seems pretty simple at first look. The defining aspect of this pair that sets it apart from the rest of the February Collection is definitely the plaid print seen on the heel of the sneaker. Aside from the plaid, this pair also sports a black rear, a navy blue toecap, and a white midsole. The Nike Dunk Mid Premium SB – Plaid is set to drop in February 2009. Via PTNC.
