For Summer 2009, Puma has come up with the Puma R-968 Mesh Limited Edition Pack, which consists of the R-968 model in three different colorways. The shoes feature combinations of white/sax/black/orange, white/red, and black/grey/white. The R-968 promises to be a breakthrough Puma model, using mesh material all throughout the shoe, along with suede and speckled panels, and other staple textiles. The intensity of the first colorway marks the presence of the Reebok-like model, with the following of two simple yet clean colorways. Also, the shoe uses Trinomic technology for ultimate performance, and showcases the Trinomic name on the back heel panel and midsole. The best characteristic of the shoe is the sole, which features a translucent bolt along the middle of the sole, showcasing the “soul” of the shoe. Be sure to cop a pair of these Puma’s for a price of about $126.

Though Puma is not known for their basketball line, they are bringing back the Puma Slipstream High this year. Originally released in the 1980’s, the Slipstream was an innovative and modern sneaker model at the time. We are now seeing previews of two colorways of the sneaker which are set to release later this year. The first colorway yields a grey upper with black, pink, and light blue accents. The second pair features a much simpler colorway of black on black. Both pairs include leopard styled fur and a white midsole. Via Vagant.

Berlin-based boutique Solebox recently partnered up with PUMA to produce a limited version of the brand’s Trinomic-heavy R698. The shoe incorporates a white mesh middle panel and toebox and nylon upper that coordinates nicely with an ’80s inspired grey/powder blue/lilac/black color scheme. More importantly however, the collaborative effort is highlighed by light-up laces that flash when you walk. (LA Gear, anyone?) Do the right thing and cop a pair of the Solebox x PUMA R698 when they hit retailers on April 19, 2008. Via hs and Solebox.

The PUMA 917 Mid Factory is available now in limited numbers at boutiques worldwide. Via Grip.
