The Blaze of Glory hit the sneaker scene in 1993, positioned to the market as a casual city running shoe. Its unique design, featuring a plastic strap lacing system designed to hug the form of the foot, minimal branding, and cutting edge Trinomic cushioning system, certainly stood out from other sneakers also attempting to break into the jogging boom at the time. The late noughties saw the Blaze of Glory resurface with a string of collaborative hits, including Bodega, Bape, Kith, and Colette, firmly landing its place in sneaker folklore. Today we are bringing the Blaze of Glory back into the limelight with a series of collaborations and iterations that glorify the OG silhouette and its iconic Trinomic technology.

Founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler, the sports brand knew early on how to cause a stir with outstanding products and perfect product placement. In addition to its strong involvement in soccer and athletics, it was the tennis boom of the 1980s that finally lifted Puma into the premier league of sporting goods manufacturers. With the emergence of breakdancing and hip hop culture, the Puma Suede soon became the must-have sneaker for b-boys and girls worldwide and can celebrate its now 50th anniversary in 2018. In the 90s, the Puma Disc lacing and Trinomic cushioning were the most authoritative innovations from the house of Puma. In addition to the probably best-known brand ambassador and exceptional athlete Usain Bolt, Puma was able to win pop icons Rihanna and The Weeknd for collaborations in recent years. From the highly coveted Fenty and XO collections, new sneaker creations are continuously created that redefine the status quo in terms of sneaker design.
