PUMA Trinomic ‘Green Box’ Pack

PUMA give a bold rework to 3 key Trinomic styles this season as they present the appropriately named ‘Green Box’ Pack.

For those PUMA footwear fans out there or to anyone who has purchased a Trinomic shoe before, the particular colour of green used may seem familiar. Thats because Pantone’s ‘ Classic Green’ is the colour applied to the iconic Trinomic box and it turns out the same green works pretty well on some of your favourite PUMA silhouettes too.

Featuring up to date reworks of the Blaze of Glory, R698 and XT2+, the pack makes use of a variety of premium materials and subtle details to give a unique finish. The Blaze of Glory boasts a mesh upper with nubuck overlays, the R698 has textured nylon and mesh mix on the upper with additional green piping and last but not least the lightweight XT2+ is given a white, full grain leather formstripe. Each shoe features a contrasting crystal white midsole and white branding, with 3M hexagonal detailing and red pops on the heel.

The PUMA Trinomic ‘Green Box’ Pack will be available from the 31st of October at the following stores;

The Hundreds x Grizzly Griptape Capsule Collection

The Hundreds and Grizzly Griptape lift the lid on a capsule collection born out of friendship, appreciation and respect.

There’s a rich history between the two brands, with Scotty Litel of The Hundreds hailing Grizzly’s Sean and Torey as two huge influences behind the brands growth over the years. The collection is a fitting celebration of the brands unity, featuring a range of heavy graphic tees, hoodies and sweaters combining the two brands aesthetics.

Scotty Litel had this to say on the release;

“The basis of this collaboration is friendship. I’ve known both Sean and Torey for a long time and they’ve been a big part of our growth at The Hundreds. Sean helped us move into Rosewood when it was our office. Torey, I’ve known and skated with since we were kids. We’ve all watched each other grow. It was just about finding the right opportunity and the right time, and it happened organically. I think this collab is a good representation of both our brand’s stories and aesthetic. Born out of friendship, appreciation, and respect…”
