Futuristic Lightweight Kicks

The Puma Disc Blaze LTWT Sneaker are Sci-Fi-Chic

— October 18, 2011 — Fashion
Puma will soon release a sleek line of lightweight runners in stylish and modern colorways called the Disc Blaze LTWT. The new line of kicks is a hybrid of sorts, getting its design from two other Puma models.

The new Disc Blaze LTWT runners borrow design features from the classic Puma Disc series, while its lightweight technology comes from the FAAS running shoe line. The spiffy sneakers will be available in three colour combos: White/Teal-Yellow, White/Magenta-Orange and White/Blue-Red.

The design of the shoe is a slick revamp of its predecessor, with mesh siding and rubber welding combined with a tongue and lace protector; the result is a uniquely fresh look from Puma. The Disc Blaze LTWT series is Puma’s attempt to experiment with their designs, while stile staying true to their classic heritage.

Unfortunately, there is no set release date for the line, so be on the lookout for these in your local sneaker shop.
