PUMA x Size? ‘Wilderness Pack’ Drop 2

 

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.

PUMA x Size? ‘Wilderness Pack’ Drop 1

PUMA link up with yet another big name as they present the Wilderness pack for summer 2014. We take a look at drop one from the German shoe giants collaboration with size?, as they release details on the R698 ‘Sahara’ and XS850 ‘ Inner City’.

With a range of high profile releases behind them this year already, the first drop in the Wilderness Pack offers something slightly different as they take inspiration from harsh terrain environments.

Inspired by the barren desert, the R698 ‘Sahara’ resembles the dry landscape through its use of suede on the upper and sand speckled midsole. The shoe features high levels of detailing throughout including a leather toe box, as well as blue and cacti green colour accents on the inner and heel tab.

The XS850 is another 90’s re-issue, originally released as a running shoe. The shoe provides maximum stability and comfort, with design features that equips the wearer for survival in the street. The black leather upper and 3M mesh combines with the yellow inner and green tab detailing to reflect the city landscape.

The PUMA x Size? ‘Wilderness Pack’ drop one will be available in-store at Size? from the 21st of June and other selected retailers from the 12th of July. Keep an eye out for information on the second drop to follow!
