Puma lets its color shine bright with the release of their 'Toori Run' collection. Inspired by the bright lights of Japan and the anime cartoons that many Japanese adore, the sneakers are a fun accessory to brighten up your workout sessions.
The bold color palette seen throughout all of the designs convey a pop-art quality that makes it hard to believe they haven't been taken straight from a comic strip. The shoes still maintain the classic stylings that Puma is so well known for, and are available in two different styles -- Toori Run Y and Toori Run C. Some of the features of the shoe includes a cushioned heel for shock absorption and a construction that is made for optimum speed.
The Toori Run collection will be made available for purchase through Finish Line stores or through their website starting November 19, 2012.
