In celebration of Singapore’s 50th year of independence, PUMA has teamed up with the country’s premier sneaker boutique Limited Edt for a commemorative reinterpretation of the Blaze of Glory. Drawing inspiration from the mythical features of the country’s Merlion symbol, the mid-top runner is done up in a striking medley of premium materials and contrasting textures that includes silver pony hairs along the toe cap, a fishscale pattern printed on the 3M body and a speckled translucent rubber outsole. Further detailing paying homage to the country’s heritage and flag are the touches of red throughout, and a custom insole that tells the tale of how Singapore earned the nickname of “The Lion City.” The first in a trio of collaborative projects with PUMA, purchase a pair exclusively at Limited Edt locations starting August 21, while a limited selection will be available through select global accounts starting August 28.
