PUMA x Size? ‘Wilderness Pack’ Drop 2

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Following lasts months ‘Sahara’ and ‘Inner City’ releases from the Wilderness Pack’s first drop, PUMA and Size? return to give two more silhouettes a re-work inspired by the harsh terrain of the jungle and the mountains.

The popular Blaze of Glory model takes cues from the Amazonian Jungle as it pays homage to the dense, overgrown forestation and its inhabitants. The forest green mesh, suede and rubbery leather mix upper sits on top of a speckled midsole and is finished with bright pink heel wrap detailing designed to warn off predators. With the forests humidity in mind, the shoe provides breathability, as well as sheltering the foot from downpours.

The Disc-Blaze is designed for endurance and durability, built to tackle harsh mountainous conditions. Again the speckled midsole is applied, whilst the upper is made from a heavy wax canvas, and includes an ice green cage unit and brown outer sole.

Drop 2 of the Wilderness Pack will be available at size? from August the 2nd and will be available worldwide from September the 6th.

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Brighton’s beloved Peggs and Son highlight the arrival of four key styles from Nike in their latest set of images by Brighton based creative Jack Stocker.

Combining Nike’s famous Air technology and the latest Lunarlon sole innovation, the Air Max Lunar1 receives an OG colour treatment, whilst the Lunar90 Jacquard arrives in a bold, futuristic colour palette. Both offering unrivalled comfort, mesh panels have been added for breathability, whilst the Air Max Lunar1 has been constructed with Nike’s Hyperfuse technology for a robust, durable finish.

 

The Air Max 180, a firm favourite here at bythelevel, offers a slightly slimmer shape with the latest release arriving with a black nubuck suede and neoprene mix upper, with turquoise leather pops on the heel. Sitting on top of a speckled midsole and waffle outsole, the shoe is completed with a crimson swoosh.

Last but not least, the Air Max 93 also receives an OG treatment as the original ‘Menthol’ colour way is applied. Originally designed as the Air Max 270 due to the shoes wrap around air bubble at the rear of the sole. The shoes upper is made from predominantly from premium leather but features hints of nubuck suede and mesh. The shoes neoprene sock liner allows for a glove like fit, keeping the foot snug inside the shoe.

Combining PUMA’s rich heritage with BWGH’s Parisian style, the collection includes the XS850 and XS698 (a hybrid of the XS850 and R698) silhouettes.
