Usain bolts for Puma
POSTED 02.08.2010 @ 11:39
Some things are just made to go together – peaches and cream, strawberry and champagne… Usain Bolt and Puma. Why, you ask? Well, for starters, Bolt’s surname just begs for all kinds of running-related puns to be made about the world’s fastest man. Secondly, who would you prefer to buy some speedy sneakers from: a three-time Olympic gold medallist, or an unseen team of designers slaving away at their desks? Yep, if there are two things Usain Bolt was made for – it’s running and designing shoes.
You’d better ‘bolt’ quick smart into your local Foot Locker stores as the surprisingly stylish range from the speed king are only available for a limited time. Designed by Bolt to withstand a workout while maintaining some serious street cred, the range features his signature crest (including a lightning bolt, what else?) as well as his favourite colours, styles and silhouettes.
Our pick from the range? We love the lightweight look of the Bolt YugoRun, $130 (7-14), boasts the perfect balance of cushioning and breathability so you can dance and train in comfort. (And just quietly, possible the perfect Zumba shoe). Run, don’t walk into Foot Locker, or check it out online at
puma.com.au. But hurry, Bolt’s range will be sprinting out doors in two weeks’ time.
