These were all Puma that I bought specifically to hit with a SOS pad.
It gave them a much better feel and grip. Plus a nice matte finish.
But ZERO branding.

Those colorways were sold w/o PUMA branding…

Honestly not feeling a strong connection… if PUMA had a special sneaker launch with cool colors then maybe a Smash collab would make sense. I’d rather see Pentel do a collab with a heavy machinery manufacturer like Caterpillar, Komatsu or Hitachi!! The rugged styling of Smash is perfect for it!

I couldn’t find them, I searched, I think I paid only a couple yen a piece for these in auction AND the seller paid the shipping. I couldn’t say no

I’d definitely buy a construction yellow caterpillar smash. I don’t think I could say no to that either.

Puma was really interesting when they did designer collabs, like the ones with Mihara Yasuhiro. I miss those wild, imaginative designs that worked in pop culture, video games and street fashion.
